Ok, I've managed to get a good feel for this album. I absolutly love it. The band have done themselves proud with this release. Way better than Riot Act, I'd say it was better than Binaural as well. Album highlights, for me, include Life Wasted, Marker in the Sand, Gone, Come Back and Inside Job. It's all superb music, heartfelt with top Vedder (and McCready) lyrics. A very solid album that I feel I can listen to all of the way through without the need to skip tracks.

Roll on Leeds Festival!

Will, I totally agree with you when it comes to this album - I would even pick your highlights as mine.

I am just so blown away. For me this is one comes right after Ten - it's way up there.

I have yet to skip over a track and I don't think I ever will. An album you can listen from front to back and over again.

Tempted to get tickets for the second night they are playing here ... if it only wasn't out in the boonies and it required camping, sigh...


Oh and Mr. Bluesman, the artwork is indeed superb!!!

I've never been that much into Pearl Jam but this album is a great one from the first track to the last.
The booklet is indeed one of the most beautiful I've seen in a very long time.

check out that link Aure!

I was listening to that very track when I read this.

Ohh... and there's another one :)

And another one...

I'll catch you later :)


Ponrauil

LOL!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that link... what else can I say. They rock.

I love their new material and feel like I lost some of my time not giving them more attention in the past...

The link does work, but I still can't see shit in there. :(

Ponrauil, I was a huge fan right after Ten came out and I'm still in love with Vs. as well. But I still lost track of them after No Code - I was sooo disappointed with it and I really thought that they weren't able to deliver some quality albums anymore. I'm glad that this album proofs me wrong. Dead wrong :)

you have to have real player installed and then click on play movie or something...
