the_gloaming09 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 So I have Ten, and like most of the songs. I also like songs like Daughter, Yellow Ledbetter, Better Man. What album(s) should I get next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 do it chronologically. at least thats what i did. so next up is Vs. which is alot more concise and punk-ier than Ten. Daughter is very much out of place on that record and in all honesty one of the weaker songs on it. Its a truly a no bullshit record they ditched all the production values of Ten and went for a more "stripped down" sound. then theres Vitalogy, my personal favourite which is a completely different story all together. looking at your siggy made think about how similar radioheads first 4 records are to PJ's first 4. first there's the grunge influenced debut followed by an album which is almost anti-debut. the third is the most ambitious and in my opinion for both bands their best. then a complete change in direction for their fourth records.

vertigo caz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You can add Nothing As It Seems to that list, so fucking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 yeh both of those are great songs. even though RHCP are at the top of my list. PJ means alot more to me on an emotional level. why? all of us go through tough times and the thing or person that helps us get through that period always holds a special place in your heart. i will forvever be grateful to eddie and the boys for being that thing.

Gilda Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I like Pearl Jam but . . . :thinking: it isn´t on my top 10 of fav bands. "Even Flow", "given to fly" and :thinking: "Hail, Hail" are good songs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open-Politik Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 pearl jam relased there tracklisting, and one of the songs is called Speed Of Sound, hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 ^ I love early Pearl Jam, but some of their recent albums have been off track for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg729 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 What are you all thinking of the new single, The Fixer? Pretty damn good in my books. Seein' them August 21st, third time. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo caz Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Is it one of their best? No, but still a decent track and catchy as fuck. Kinda wished Got Some was first single though. Looking forward to the new album and aussie tour :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 It's pretty good. I am kind of shocked that the song appears to be so radio-friendly. I can't remember the last time PJ did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i guess thats kinda expected from a band who are obviously in their twilight years. i never imagined PJ would bring out "special editions" and "remastered albums" as thats usually seen as a very 'commercial' thing to do and PJ have always stood against that. but the reality is they can only tour like this for so long, they need some financial back up. personally the quality of this forthcoming album doesnt bother me, they've done enough to keep me loyal forever.

Malcolm-Edge Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I love them, so excited to see them in September. There is no way Im not seeing them. I like The Fixer, but its not truly the Pearl Jam I love, and only 39 minute album? They trying to one up Coldplay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 i'm seeing them in november!!! i got front moshpit tickets YAY 39mins is your average length for an album especially nowadays. but i see your point, it will be the shortest PJ album to date and there is nothing wrong with that.

Malcolm-Edge Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sadly Im not a 10c Member. I have to fight through the gates of Ticketmaster Pre-Sales to get my tickets. Worst off, Im working right when Tickets go on sale. I trust my brother though. Im hoping for another show to be added the night before. Two nights of Pearl Jam would complete my life. I get to see all my Top 4 bands this year, and likely the fifth sometime in early 2010! Im praying for a Gorge length set list too! 32 songs is well worth my money, especially at $67 a pop! Its a great deal! It just shows they are possibly going more radio friendly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I listened to Pearl Jam through out high school. Such an important band for me. I do like the Fixer, and it reminds me that they can write mainstream radio songs if they want. Hell, several bands have made a career simply by smoothing out PJ's sound to make it more accessible. And Eddie's voice is an absolute gem. I am not saying he is the greatest singer of all time, but no one makes me "feel" vocals like Eddie. So much emotion and passion in his signing.

Malcolm-Edge Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Eddie is straight up in the top 3 for vocalists. I was so angry I missed his acoustic shows last year. His Into The Wild soundtrack blew my mind. He did an amazing job of catching the emotion of the film and making a great album for it. I can not wait to see these guys live. They are also an important band for me. Listen to Alive you feel Eddies pain in that song. Ive felt that before, not the same as him but the pain he potrays with his songs. The Fixer is great, I dont hate it at all. I do like it, its just not the Pearl Jam I love, hopefully the album produces some real gems! I do agree a lot of bands are playing PJ music now...Kings of Leon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open-Politik Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Alive is amazing but the one that always gets me is Jeremy. Do you guys know if they are coming to England? I so wanna see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
