Album Notes
Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder (vocals, guitar); Mike McCready, Stone Gossard (guitar); Jeff Ament (bass guitar); Matt Cameron (drums, percussion).Additional personnel include: Boom Gaspar (piano, Hammond b-3 organ, pump organ); Gary Westlake.On its self-titled 2006 album, the band's first for J Records, Pearl Jam offers up a vital and assured set of songs that nods to the Seattle-based group's early-1990s heyday while revealing a slightly updated and streamlined approach. Whereas some previous releases were marked by experimental moments that employed Eastern instrumentation, programmed loops, and other adventurous flourishes, PEARL JAM finds the ensemble sticking to a no-frills, riff-centered sound that's bolstered by some of the quintet's most engaging melodies since TEN and VS. Though much of the record is comprised of propulsive rock tunes ("World Wide Suicide," "Comatose") that feature impassioned performances from frontman Eddie Vedder and blistering lead lines from guitarist Mike McCready, tracks such as the chiming, Beatlesque "Parachutes" and the melancholy "Gone" showcase Pearl Jam's range without resorting to unnecessary bells and whistles. Much in the way that U2 reignited its career with ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND, this album finds Pearl Jam successfully going back to basics while still moving forward.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- [A]s big and brash in fuzz and backbone as Led Zeppelin's PRESENCE....The politics on PEARL JAM are not those or left but of engagement and responsibility.Entertainment Weekly (p.136) - [T]hey stand and deliver on this belatedly eponymous barnstormer, the seriously hopped-up effort fans have been pining for since VITALOGY. -- Grade: B+Kerrang (Magazine) (pp.46-47) - Gossard and McCready's molten guitars mesh electrifyingly for an opening brace of rockers shot-through with air-punch hooks and Eddie Vedder's valiant howling-into-a-hurricane croon...

  Pera Jam...what else
Review created: 10/07/06

What can you say... PJ are back at their best. After a couple of only good records (Binaural & Riot Act)they bring their 8th album and it rocks from the first to the last song. Life Wasted, World Wide Suicide and Comatose and Severed Hand gives a great start and it just remind me why did I became a PJ fan.
I love Parachutes, the lyrics and the slow balad very neat.Then we gt a very good unemployable and we go back to an electric Big Wave.
Gone (one of my favourites) and Come Back just shows that they can still bring you those beautiful slow rocky songs. Inside Job another pretty good song.
Personally I have to say that this one of the best albums I bought this year.
This guys still rock.

This album is simply brilliant! Don't miss out. Pearl Jam continues to reinvent modern rock and this record is no exception. Buy this record and listen to it at least a few times right off the bat before passing any judgement. Five stars, the best album in years!!!

  Not as good as expected!
Review created: 07/07/06

It's been a long time since I listened to any Pearl Jam but an appearance on Jools Holland's, 'Later' inspired me to buy this latest album.

Unfortunately for me it doesn't live up to their earlier material. This is obviously subjective as many rate this album highly!

Standout track 'World Wide Suicide'.

I was going to give it a 2 but naaagh, I'll give it 3!
