Can finally post what i set this thrad up for
Backspacer
Pearl Jams ninth release emptied my bank-account today and arrived in its beautiful vinyl sleeve, and to my surprise it's their best work since ten.
Every song is concise (the whole album is about 30mins long but don't let that deter you, the crisp/hopeful and apathetic pearl jam collide in this album with a bit of the angst (the three ingredients of a PJ album) thrown in for good measure. Got Some and Just breathe are my favourites, because they ar ein the vein of my two favourite songs, save you and black, its more new wave than their anti-bush railing of the early noughties, it really is a true return to form and if you only buy one moderateley priced LP tihs year make it this one.
In a world of Kings of Leon and Artic Monkeys it stirs my soul to hear fresh real music again.
