Album Notes Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder (vocals, guitar); Mike McCready, Stone Gossard (guitar); Jeff Ament (bass guitar); Matt Cameron (drums, percussion). Additional personnel include: Boom Gaspar (piano, Hammond b-3 organ, pump organ); Gary Westlake. On its self-titled 2006 album, the band's first for J Records, Pearl Jam offers up a vital and assured set of songs that nods to the Seattle-based group's early-1990s heyday while revealing a slightly updated and streamlined approach. Whereas some previous releases were marked by experimental moments that employed Eastern instrumentation, programmed loops, and other adventurous flourishes, PEARL JAM finds the ensemble sticking to a no-frills, riff-centered sound that's bolstered by some of the quintet's most engaging melodies since TEN and VS. Though much of the record is comprised of propulsive rock tunes ("World Wide Suicide," "Comatose") that feature impassioned performances from frontman Eddie Vedder and blistering lead lines from guitarist Mike McCready, tracks such as the chiming, Beatlesque "Parachutes" and the melancholy "Gone" showcase Pearl Jam's range without resorting to unnecessary bells and whistles. Much in the way that U2 reignited its career with ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND, this album finds Pearl Jam successfully going back to basics while still moving forward. | Find errors in the product description?

There’s fast songs, slow songs; there’s classic PJ songs and then there’s some that seem influenced by the Beatles among others. I just love it. I could listen to track 13 on repeat for days and have. I think this album will get even the people who waned from PJ loving them again. NOTE: You can find PJ merchandise at my store (http://stores.ebay.com/kelshi Review ID: 10000000000916703 Was this review helpful? Report this review 3 of 8 people found this review helpful. I have been a lifelong fan of Pearl Jam. They are my all time favorite band. I know more about them and their songs, than I do any other bands combined. This new album is right up there with their three best, Vitalogy, Ten, Vs., and then this one. The music is rockin, the lyrics are DEEP, and the overall flow of the album is spine-tingling. Still kickin' ass after 16 years!!! Review ID: 10000000000938814 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/01/06 by: 2 of 8 people found this review helpful. This CD like every other Pearl Jam CD stinks...okay, their first album was good but that's it. Eddie Vedder is a clown. Review ID: 10000000001026691 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews Buy it! It's their most political album yet. The album art is also great! Almost all the songs are good. You might be a little disappointed, but overall, it's good to listen to.
