In France we are a lot of PJ fans waiting for this new album to come !
I’m sure it will be a good and great rock n roll albums !
Keep on rockin’ guys

Pearl Jam is the greatest band of all time. If this album sucks I will be the first to admit it and I will remain content that they at least made eight great albums for me to listen to until I die. Pearl Jam is way better than Nirvana could have ever hoped but than again so is Mudhoney and about a million other bands. Yellowledbetter is my favorite song of all time. Given to Fly is seccond and Up In My Tree is third.

People who compare bands like Nickelback Nirvana and Creed to Pearl Jam need to be publicly tortured to death.

Pearl Jam and Mudhoney are the only two real rock bands still around.

HOPE THEYR BACK TO THE GRUNGE SOUNG OF THE FIRST ALBUMS!!!!!!!! IVE GO TA FEELING! THEY WILL!!! HARDDDDDDD ROCKINNNNNG BRILLIANT MUSIC.GO PJ!

call the new album( loved by millions and millions to come)

waiting,waiting when? end of this year.

Cant wait for the new album!

i got my pearl jam stickman tattoo a few weeks ago and i love it

how about calling the album ‘Rise above’ or ‘for you’
i dont mind wat its called as long as u guys come back to ireland, the last time was amazing and il always remember it u sold out the place so quickly that i could only get seated tickets eventho i was at the front of the que 3 minutes after they came out thats how special u are to ireland pearl jam!

im having trouble believing that matt cameron would actually post here in light of better things to do than comment on rag articles (like make a record), especially when the album is still in its infancy at the time…but you never know, what the hell, he couldve been bored…so, ive only offered my humble fan-info once, and that was a few months before the band decided to distribute their own “bootlegs” of the tours, i was soooo angry what the bootleggers wanted for a bad quality recording of a show and didnt want to give my money to them instead of pj, and i was desperate to have a copy of the show i went to… i almost convinced myself for a time that it wasnt pure coincidence that my idea went out to them, and they actually started doing it! but then, i realized that it was much more likely that someone in the band just had the same idea, and got over myself… wow, i really digressed there, anyway, whatever the band names the album, i will love it, as i have cherished what the music has brought to my life since the beginning of the band…much love to pearl jam, and all of our pearl jam-loving community!!! xox

November 25th. Vedder said…
“…I mean no one sings the guitar parts for God’s sake”

That’s all guys. You move us towards inspiration and madurity.

Keep on rocking…

PD: Just name it: “Outsourcing Ideologies”

can’t wait to my already huge collection of 2 and a half days of pearl jam (822 songs)

1.ten 2.vs 3.vitalogy 4.no code 5.yield 6.binarural 7.riot act 8.pearl jam 9———what next?

and what not… sure it had its “just ok” songs but so have other albums. plus riot act had the most songs (15 if my memory serves me correctly) so it definately wasn’t like there was a majority of “ok” songs… love boat captain, save you, green disease, thumbing my way, you are, and I am mine are all songs that come to mind when thinking of riot act and I know the die hards have to love at least some of those songs as much as I do… what are your guys’ thoughts?

right now i put 32 hours and 26 minutes of pj music in my ps3.(wich i all own on cd btw)
ans i treasure all those minutes and hours.
pj is more than just music its a way of life

these guys have and will always rock. i respect mike for his help with work in helping those with his condition. i have cystic fobrosis and let me tell you the steroid treatments suck! what a grat bunch of people these guys are, and the music just makes life better. bk

i am great fan of pearl jam since 1991.waiting for new album.please do it’s fast.

I’m thrilled to hear they are coming out witha new CD. Just saw them in Va beach on my 41st birthday. They rocked! Enjoyed the
concert so much, I went out and bought “Live at the Gorge.” Which inturn inspired new surf art. Nothing like working on artwork while being inspired by good tunes!

Great, i can’t wait, Pearl Jam is just a great band.:D:D

pearl jam is the best!

Pearl Jam is not everyone’s
favorite band, nor should they be.
That is like saying everyone should like the same car. There is too much choice and too many
demogaphics to contend with.

However, Pearl Jam has staying power. That should be respected,
even if you don’t enjoy their music.

They also have enough side projects to still enjoy parts of the band for those anti-vedders.

I myself, have grown up with Pearl
Jam and still support and enjoy the music they produce.

Be Sound.

Simply cannot wait. I’ll be one of the first in store buying this, and fingers crossed they come to the UK when touring!

great news. Its great they’re hooking up with brendan again! They have yet to make a bad record and i know this new one will be no exception. I guess it’l come out early next year (it better do cos i cant wait any longer!) I just hope they do a full scale tour and come to europe again!

Matt, how about “Uncharted”, or “Fugue”?

If you can’t admit that they have been a huge influence on modern music (like them or not), you don’t understand true art.

Pearl jam are the best band in the world. they just rock

call the new album

dont risk anyother

Thanks for the Support Everyone Hope You Enjoy It

Any Idea’s for the Name

Im 14 and its a fact:
Pearl Jam BEST BAND EVER

yeah yeah yeah keep on rocking in the free world

Can’t wait for the new album.

Free BostonLou

New Pearl Jam New Tour,
They haven’t been to New Zealand since 1998 no matter what it sounds like it will be far and beyond anything else released in the last 3 years. Keep on rockin in the free world

I particularly liked “Yield” so I’m guessing that this album will be somewhat similar to it…

Anyway, I’m just glad because new album means new Tour and New Tour has to mean New Two-day Concert in Portugal

(Sorry for the cheesy smile… I’m just that darn happy)

I just would like to thank Pearl Jam for keepin rock ALIVE!! Always changing the sound to keep the critics confused, they should’ve made all their songs and albums sound the same but I beleive Nickelback beat em to it!!

The Greatness continues!!!! Can you say goose bumps?

“NEW PEARL JAM RECORD RECIPE | 5/4/2008, 1:46 pm EST

Hey! Want to make your own NEW PEARL JAM record. Just take a piece of Obama’s political propaganda, smear it with peanut butter, add a rolling stones, Neil Young and Bob Dylan record (any of them). Eat it. Wait 2-3 hours. Then take a big fat dump and throw it into your CD player and VOILA! the new Pearl Jam record!!”

I can’t wait for the album, I’m a huge fan…but this guys post made me laugh out loud. I guess to each his own. I disagree…but I had a good chuckle. Thanks.

There is to much to say about PJam. Yes they are the greatest band ever. Theyve stood the test of time. There is inspiration, beauty, love, hate, sadness, theory, and connection on all of their albums. Binaural was my least favorite and I was mad when it came out….but over the years ive gotten to understand it better. This is not an easy thing to do. They are high and above the garbage thats been out the past 5-10 years. Great lyrics as always, and good music. Sorry to ramble, but they are the best. I like what a lot of these posts say. Keep listening to the only real band thats out.

Can’t wait! Greatest band ever! Sadly I didn’t get to see them live before the shows at the Garden in 2003 (you’ve probobly seen our norwegian flag on the dvd ;p), but since then it’s been a few shows. Last in Düsseldorf june 2007.

Cheers

I thought the dead I don’t know took spent days attempt. my dad little

I’m not a Pearl Jam fan, although I’ve enjoyed a few of their tunes over the years.I do not think anyone thinks they are the greatest band of all time,but DAMN why so much negative posts.Where is the slander for that poppy cheese bubblegum Greenday?

I’m Gonna Save You: A GREAT OBSERVATION
on MORON POSTER:Corpse of Kurt

Kurt was very Special and Nirvana trully Amazing but as much as they offered things no one else ever could Eddie Voice comes from somewere ‘Higher Up’ and Pearl Jam as a band has moments with Eddie that Nirvana could NEVER COME close to!

I always feel weird because I LOVE riot act… is it me?

Best live songs…?

Save you

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!!!! THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!!! F___ YOU!!!!

I think it’s great when a band of this standing can come out and support Crohn’s disease. I have it so I am biased of course. It’s great though and they get my respect for it.
Plus, whatever the ‘critics’ here say, they are a pretty good rock band.

Re:Corpse of kurt
“Most overrated band EVER”
I could say the same of nirvana.

Re:Corpse of kurt
“Most overrated band EVER”
I could say the same of nirvana.

dang who pissed in the cheerios of the first few people who posted.
anywho PJ rocks no doubt about it!

Corpse of Curt: It’s evident that some part of you, deep within your soul, actually comprehends the complexity and profundity of Pearl Jam and its music. Presumably, that is the rationale behind your insatiable desire to pop up anywhere a Pearl Jam article, news story, etc., surfaces. I believe you’ve already acquiesed to the power of Pearl Jam. Your incessant, unfounded, and in turn inept criticism is merely an attempt to mask your true feelings which yes, are In Hiding.

I wish they’d tour in Kiss makeup, Id settle for just the boots too…

PJ was an amazing band until they started letting Ediie Vedder write most of the songs. Now they are decent (but still great live).

They were in the zone for the first 2 albums (even the B-sides were amazing). Then they decided they wanted to be Neil Young for a while, then the Who for one album, and now Eddie wants to be Bob Dylan and lead some political revolution.

They have definitely lacked focus over the last few albums, mainly because Eddie Vedder writes too many of their songs and Gossard/McCready have never stepped back up to the plate like they did in the early-mid 90’s.

If EV would stop worrying about looking like a sellout by selling albums and would just go back to rocking out, Pearl Jam could be the biggest band in rock.

How’d that ‘Vote for Change’ tour work out for Vedder? Also, do you think there will be a follow up to Mirrorball, with Neil Young? Worst album of the 90’s, but i think Rolling Stone gave them 4 1/2 stars….amazing.

it will be a shitty album..

Most overrated band EVER

Pearl Jam rocked in the early 90’s! They rocked in 99! ANd they keep rocking well into this 21st century!

These guys are amazing, they are rock and roll not, just pure straight up rock. If you have seen them live you will see living history. It is the closest that anyone nowdays will have to seeing anything similar to the giants of the 60’s and 70’s. Everyone in the band is a master at their insturment. Some of their albums may not have had the been complete but when you sit down and look at the complete catalog their are a number of hits, and doing so with out the support of coporate America.

I am suprised that a magazine that endorses so many shitty bands and historically ripped apart the greatest band of all time still has the balls to report on PJ. Even MMJ can see that they are the roots of rock for this generation. All those opposed can suck Pete Wentze d*ck –

LOVE PEARL JAM. That’s it.

~~~it is ok

pearl jam is a legit band straight out of the seatle grunge scene, they dont sell out, whats with all the hating. the kick ass, listen to evenflow and then come and tell me they dont rock.
pearl jam is going down in history with the greats unlike bands like fall out boy and mcr.

Bukowski and pearl jam recipe hate the band but i bet they had their copies of ten and vs when they came out. They’re just into what’s popular now. Typical musical incompetence. Just buy what’s being marketed to you. Since Pearl Jam isn’t popular like they were in the nineties, then they must be a “horrible” band. Come on guys grow up and stop bashing pearl jam and other bands who rock. I’ll bet you’re wearing flannel and rocking out to Pearl Jam’s first two records when no one’s looking.

Why is this even a debate? Musically, there albums can be a little inconsistent but cmon who makes perfect albums? The band’s ratio of great songs to filler is better than most. For example, there’s a lot of hype around Gnarls Barkley but the only good song on that last album was the single Crazy. I think pearl jam deserves some respect even if you don’t like their music there’s a sincerity to the band and that’s one of the things fans connect with. Pair that sincerity with well written lyrics and music and you’re destined for success. Case and point pearl jam who are 3 years shy of the two decade mark and still releasing quality material. Pearl Jam are among the best rock bands i don’t care what the naysayers choose to say or believe.

What kind of shit do you listen to? Why don’t you start your education with these bands (in no particular order but just to rub you the wrong way i’ll start with:

REM
Pearl Jam
Jane’s Addiction
Bob Marley
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jimi Hendrix
Dinosaur Jr
MEtallica
LEd Zeppelin
Van Halen and there are many more
but i’m sure you’d be satisfied with your 50 Cent and Kanye garbage or maybe some other here today gone tomorrow generic band/solo act.

Yield was one of the most complete rock albums of the 90s…straight ahead rock, great hooks, insightful lyrics, intorspective, tripy love songs. I love it. “In Hiding” might be my fav PJ songo of all time. Love PJ, love the tour, can’t wait for the new album…

Eat it. Wait 2-3 hours. Then take a big fat dump and throw it into your CD player and VOILA! the new Pearl Jam record!!

Pearl Jam and whatever they’re up to are ALWAYS at the top of Rolling Stone’s news. YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN! Obviously someone way up the ladder is a huge fan. As Steve Langford says, “Who gives a shit, who gives a fuck” what lame ass PearlJam is up to. I might go see them live if they were playing in my backyard. Then again, maybe not.

7 show in june! Starting at Bonerzoo and ending in hartford, but minus VA and second night camden bc we got MMJ tiks for radio city!
also who else loved the Leash being broken out last tour!
JUNE!
PEARL JAM!

It’s so good to hear they’re recording new stuff.

re: bukowski sucks | 5/3/2008, 11:24 pm EST

“Bukowski needs to listen to some real music like pearl jam.”

Wow, you’ve convinced me. I’ll start building my Pearl Jam collection right now!!! You’re very persuasive.

“I noticed your R.E.M. reference (SHiny happy people), do you hate that band too?”

With a blinding passion.

“Get a life and a music sense.”

Right back atcha!

Yes! YEs!

We’re baaaaaack!!!!

Pearl Jam is the only band to survive the grunge revolution. They were never affraid to evolve and make music on their own terms. That alone should be reason to respect bands like pearl jam in an era where music has lost its integrity as bands with no talent are discovered and become stars for a fleeting moment. Those no talent bands have no shot at long jevity. PEarl Jam is almost at the twenty year mark and i’m sure they could make it to another twenty because they’re all about the music not the fame or radio airplay. The Real fans stuck by them as the fickle ones departed in droves after vitalogy. It’s been said that pearl Jam are the Dead of this generation-not the sound obviously-but in the way they’ve achieved a cult following of loyal fans who have helped the band go at least platinum with every release. That says alot considering albums after vitalogy recieved little or no exposure. Pearl Jam is the band to beat in terms of mission, fan appreciation, and stage shows.

nice

Pearl Jam will be one of those bands that new generations will discover and love. I eagerly await their next album offering.

Pearl Jam rocks but i think (and fans don’t get too mad cause i’m a fan too) they’ve lost some of their intensity in recent years. I hope the next album will sound like a sequel to ten or vs.

“If i was lost at sea
That harpoon boat in front of me
That’s the whale i’d like to be”

It would be great to hear the b sides from the self titled album as a stop gap until the new record comes out. If you know anything about the band, there b sides are better than most bands album songs. ANyways, i hope the new album comes out this year or sometime in january or february of next year. Pearl Jam rocks!!!

I wasn’t sure the band would record anytime soon with eddie vedder recording and touring as a solo act. THis is great news. It’ll probably come out early next year. I wonder what they’ll call the new record and how it will sound. Pearl jam’s alive. They’re alive oh yeah yeah yeah yeah. Can’t wait to hear the new songs.

pearl jam is a great band both on record and in concert. YOu definetly get your money’s worth-they play 2 to 21/2 hour shows where most other concerts are an hour and a half. The band improvises on stage and add new elements to the song for the live versions. The passion, the playing, the songwriting it’s all there and the band still rocks like it always has. They are the only band to survive the grunge era in tact and were never affraid to evolve. YOu got to give them credit for that. the new album will be another stellar album.

Bukowski needs to listen to some real music like pearl jam. I noticed your R.E.M. reference (SHiny happy people), do you hate that band too? What kind of garbage to listen to? Panic at the disco or maybe shitty 80 bands like motley crue. Get a life and a music sense. Pearl Jam are the last great band to put their heart into the music and shows rather than get wrecked onstage and disrespect the fans who pay hard earned money to see them. THey’re loyal to the fans and they have talent. WHy don’t you listen to their music before you open your mouth. R.E.M. were inducted into the rock hall of fame and Pearl Jam will follow soon.

Hey, what crawled up this band’s MUSIC and died?

All the Pearl Jam fan comments: Wow!

Shiny happy people holding hands.

Hey Ed, light a match, will you?

PJ Rules!

Can’t wait for the 3 banger this summer! 2 PJ shows and Bonnaroo.

baaaah ha ha ha. Faaarrrrttttt!

Whatever, man. Whatever!

give me the whole enchilada
even lessor (?) tunes
give depth of flavor
and i’m always ready
for a new taste
my life has a soundtrack

LITTLE OVER A MONTH TO GO, CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE MADDNESS THAT IS BONNAROO AND PJ HEADLINING…I CAN ONLY EXPECT A SHOW LIKE NONE SEEN SO FAR BY THEM IN THIS VENUE…CAN’T WAIT!

very much looking forward to the new album…surely excited…hope they continue to produce quality songs..

Avocado stunk. Two songs at best were any good. After Yield, they lost the plot on how to write solid good tunes. Binaural had 3 decent tracks. But as far as full records go, lets not kid ourselves and love everything PJ does just because they are PJ. Here’s hoping Brenden O Brien can bring it out of them on the next one.

FAVORITES TO LEAST
1. Vs.
2. No code
3. Yield
4. Vitalogy
5. 10
6. Pearl Jam
7. Binaural
8. Riot Act
top 5 are classics. Bottom 3 are good, half classic albums with pretty decent songs on the other half. The first 5 were produced by O’Brein, which makes me feel good about this upcoming release. They also are still amazing live, so you know they have a lot left in them

Never could agree that Avocado was was somehow the great PJ album they hadn’t made in a long time.

I love all PJ albums like people who have kids love their kids. The second I even think about one of them being my least favorite, or most favorite, I feel guilty and move both to the middle of the pack.

Songs that I didn’t like for a decade I love now (WMA) and songs that I loved intensely only to tire of after being played to death, I eventually rediscover (Corduroy.)

Avocado was their best album yet I think.

Lyrically it’s miles ahead of any other album they’ve done. Especially Army Reserve and Marker In The Sand.

There are still a few things I try to follow constantly in the rock universe, and one of them is when the next Pearl Jam album is coming. Ten through Yield were staggering, and the best moments on Binaural matched them. I agree w/ the post that said the Avocado had some spotty moments, but less than Riot Act. I’ve always thought VS. was their best, and I’d like to see if they could pull something like that off again.

Mike McCready stated in early 2006 that PJ recorded approx. 30 songs for the ‘Avocado’ album. where are those tunes?

these guys are simply incredible! i went to lollapalooza last summer in chicago and they really blew my mind away. i hadn’t seen them since a st. louis vote for change show in oct 2004 and i really thought that they blew everyone away!

fucking awesome man, i love these dudes.

Great News!
The Giants from Seattle have made my day sunnier today…
Hope they may evoke some of the brilliance of their earlier work such as Ten and Vs. Avocado was ok, but I’m still optimistic the band will bring us more of the early 90’s sound and vibe!
Anyway, I’m a PJ FAN-atic! Let’s hope they do a complete World Tour to support their new rendering - going from Australia to South America!
Cheers!

Buenas nocticias, me han alegrado el día!!

yes!! so super excited!!! can’t wait! and like all the comments before! YIELD will and always rox my world!

Hell yes,

I can’t wait. Yield was their best effort for me personally. The album was fantastic.

Its werid how Duff is friends with Mike now. Back in the day they would’ve probably been ripping on each others bands.

Awesome!! I am stoked… I remember losing sleep waiting for the last album… and a new album often means NEW TOUR!! Welcome back to Oz…

Its on!

viva la vinyl & viva la pj…i’ve got every note they ever recordied on my hard drive and aching for more…17 years and going strong!!!!

Can’t wait, but am still getting plenty of long and loud listening to the 2006 release!

Kudos to Mike for the Crohn’s work. I’ve run in a couple of CCF’s 5ks in the Emerald City. You gotta love folks who put up with all the lousy stuff they do with that condition, yet have the sense of humor to name their teams Got The Runs (and worse).

New album…. that’s all I need to hear. I’ll be getting it the day it comes out, cause with Pearl Jam you know it’s gonna be a quality album. Good luck to ‘em. I’m all excited now.

And it’s nice to hear about Mike’s charity work, I’ve spoken to a few people who suffer from Crohn’s and it isn’t a nice thing. Mike is a great man and I hope the gig goes well for him and all involved!

“wishlist was my fave track on YIELD and”

wow… that’s a top 3 bottom of the barrel track in PJ’s catalog by far

EVERY Peal Jam album is worth buying!
Can nver ever go wrong with these awesome musicians.
wishlist was my fave track on YIELD and Brendan will make them sound grand!

Awesome!! I already can’t wait.

Every time a new Pearl Jam album comes down the pipe it is a lock to be good. Whether they know it or not, these guys are legends in their own time. Great news. I’m kissing ass, but I fucking love this band.

GREAT news! That is awesome that This news is out exactly 2 years after Avocado came out. east coast tour here I come!

Best news I’ve heard in weeks.

Glad to see them working with Brendan again, as Yield was their last truly GREAT record.

last one was pretty good overall, but still had some spotty patches (just much less than Riot Act).

It will rock, as usual.

I happy to hear this news. Brendan O’ Brien is an awesome producer. I guess the next story will be how they decide to sell it to fans.

Screw the labels, use the iterwebs!

I can’t wait for the new album. Yield was great. Considering it’s been ten years since they last worked with Brendan O Brien, i wonder what the new album will sound like. The last album, Pearl Jam, was excellent as it brought back some of the vitality from the early days. If you remember, those rock songs were influenced by vedder’s friendship with the ramones. There was also a nice balance between the rock songs and the mellow tunes. I’d personally like an all rock album this time out though instead of half and half even though that last album was great. Well, whatever the band decides, i’m sure it’ll sound good and who knows if it will recieve the same positive reviews from critics and fans as the previous album but i’m sure it’ll be worth buying when it comes out.
