Pearl Jam by Pearl Jam
They Will Ever Rock, No Doubt
If its debut album 15 years ago made Pearl Jam apprehensive with
success, the Seattle quintet better buckle in for a return to eminence. On
its eighth studio release--and first since 2002--the band socks away the
adventurous experimentation that dogged some of its most recent records
to investigate a post-September 11, war-ravaged world overflowing with
urgency and significance. Its the same everyday in a hell manmade/What
can be saved, and who will be left to hold her? lead singer Eddie Vedder
wonders in World Wide Suicide, one of several contemptuous rants on the
Bush administration. Yet the albums spark is more than political. Songs
like Life Wasted, Comatose and Big Wave embrace the garage-rock past,
as guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard play off each other with
the primal lucidity of a decade ago and drummer Matt Cameron, one of
rocks best, adds raw backing vocals to Vedders polished craft. But Pearl
Jam also turns up some of its most harmonious works since Daughter,
including Marker in the Sand, with its radio-ready chorus, the tuneful
Parachutes paced by Gossards divine strumming, and the burning
narrative and Urge Overkill punch of Umemployable. Finally Vedder pleads
for a lovers return in Come Back, a keyboard-soaked love song complete
with a chilling Gossard solo. Its got a soulfulness that begs for Sam Cook e
to sing it and an originality that shows that a vibrant and cocksure Pearl
Jam is back in town--and ready to retake the world. --Scott Holter
