| Pearl Jam- BINAURAL **** 1/2 out of ***** This is beautiful work on Pearl Jam's part. They have taken their sort of gruff brand of grunge to an (almost) definitive point. Only a few vain attempts at fast paced rock (once this bands specialty) hinder the album's progress. Tracks like "Light Years," the Ament-penned "Nothing as it Seems," Vedder's incredible rocker "Insignificance," and the fairly acoustic "Of the Girl" really seem to stand out on this album. Vedder's voice still suffers from the same hinderances it always did, yet it remains powerful. And as a plus, the lyrics are all actually complete on this album, unlike the classic TEN album. This is a generally good buy, as Pearl Jam rocks as always. ROCK ON BROTHERS!!!! HA WOOHOO! Pearl Jam- LONDON ***** out of ***** This is a solid live album. It has just about everything you could want from Pearl Jam live: almost every hit you could ask for, a couple of kickass covers ("Timeless Melody", "Soldier of Love"), and profuse swearing. Featured on this incredible album are "Light Years," "Nothing as it Seems," "Betterman," "Daughter," "Black," "Alive," and various other hits and fan favorites. Some of Eddie Vedder's quips are downright amusing (after several lyrical mishaps in "God's Dice": 'well, i fucked that one up' or in a speech 'all the gods came from England: 'zeus, poseidon... keith, mick, roger and pete..."). And the covers... well as incredibly different as they are, they are damn interesting. "Soldier of Love" is far and away superior to "Last Kiss," why was it not the single off that compilation? Any Pearl Jam fan needs this album, and if they don't have a studio album, this is a good intro to Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam- NO CODE ***** out of ***** This is, in my opinion, the definitive Neil Young-era Pearl Jam album. By Neil Young-era, I mean the time period in which Pearl Jam toured with and made an album with Neil Young. And this album definitely shows the influence. While "Smile" almost is a Neil song, it is a quality tribute. Other standouts include the flat out rocker "Hail Hail," the almost Elvis-esque "Off He Goes," the magnificent "Red Mosquito," and the one minute scream-a-thon "Lukin." Bonuses include the kick-ass jacket design, especially the Polaroid-back lyric cards. While it may not be the most popular of Pearl Jam albums, it is one of the best. Well worth your buy. Primus- ANTIPOP *** 1/2 out of ***** Now here is true strangeness. A very good album, but very strange. Some good listens include the title track ("The Antipop"), "Power Mad," "Electric Uncle Sam," "Eclectic Electric" and "The Final Voyage of the Liquid Sky." You should listen to this album. It is very good, funk/country/rock/metal. As a bonus, lots of guests appear, including Metallica's Hetfield, for no reason at all- Tom Waits, RATM's Morello, and guest producers like Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit and the Police's Stewart Copeland. But be warned, it isn't for everyone, it's incredibly strange (are you seeing a motif in this review?). |
