Backspacer - Pearl Jam

I hate Pearl Jam.
hate hate hate
no, it's not what you think.

This hate is the fact that i've had "Just Breathe" stuck in my head constantly since it's come out. I even find myself humming the harmony to the chorus. THE HARMONY!!!! WTF?

Remember the days when Pearl Jam came out? They and Nirvana became the figureheads for Grunge. With grunge effectively gone the way of the do-do, it's interesting putting Ten in whatever medium you listen to your music now and then Backspacer. Maybe it's old age, we all seem to get a little mellower and Backspacer is no exception. It's not like Pearl Jam's given up ROCK, oh no, far from, there's enough rock songs on this album to make a road trip or air guitar party fun, but there's also enough songs on here to be reflective and yes, even make you sing in harmony.

Backspacer - 8/10
