Perfect as an opener! "Getaway" is a real crusher with a full-bodied Vedder. Raw rock guitars rock the song structure in unprecedented heights, like a hurricane earthy artifacts thrown into infinity. The windy noise take long drawn out notes and amplifier feedback, buzzing with gentle melodies in the middle.
PLAY NOW!
Mind Your Manners
Mind Your Manners
Pearl Jam
SONG 2 - MIND YOUR MANNERS
Her first single released shows Pearl Jam are still the rebels before. Only just a little meek, since their criticism numero uno aka George W. Bush had to leave the pitch at the presidential desk. A certain socially critical irony is unmistakable in "Mind Your Manners" when Vedder urges to the customs chatter. Hard, raw and with a message. The single accesses the rock 'n' roll charm of the 60s in the riffing, distorted him like Motorhead or later - somewhat hidden - Metallica thrash with their tirades. Today, take Volbeat .
SONG 3 - MY FATHER'S SON
With "My Father's Son", Pearl Jam lean back a little, let air to breathe, show wistfully vulnerable, but at the same time open like an open book. In peace lies strength: their songwriting bursting forth before stichelnder jaggedness.
SONG 4 - SIRENS
A ballad from the picture book, only much better. What Eddie does with its powerful because touching voice, can not be human. Transported during the beat of the bass, Ed pushes the drive conditions trembling high voltage busbar. Spreading, but not long-winded.
SONG 5 - LIGHTNING BOLT
The title track closes after O'Brien addition to the first two songs on the record, the trilogy of the Pops to "Lightning Bolt". A metaphor for Pearl Jam, bursting with the forcefulness and strength. A plump charged "Booooooolt" Vedder supported by the realization that hit!
SONG 6 - INFALLIBLE
Another song that gives and overview the quieter second part of the plate initiates. Only clarifies the economy even more, such as Pearl Jam skillfully with minimal resources can heat a captivating and energetic drama.
SONG 7 - PENDULUM
While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast. Brendan suggests, the song was actually written for previous album "Backspacer".
SONG 8 - SWALLOWED HOLE
Great covered song, not immediately jumping in the face, for it consistently and forcefully pulled through. Repeated "down down down" words depict soulful rock with plenty of space.
SONG 9 - LET THE RECORDS PLAYLIST
The track exudes a blues vibe that sniffs the scent of the good old school from the 60s. Not far-fetched, but Pearl Jam demand on the board hearing.
SONG 10 - SLEEPING BY MYSELF
One-and-bred Southern ballad, although the band still comes from Seattle, the westernmost northern United States. Their oldie-country charm they could often play towards the end of their albums.
SONG 11 - YELLOW MOON
With the bright "Yellow Moon", Pearl Jam feel to their old grunge dejection. Eddie whispered in the gloom away endlessly syllables.
SONG 12 - FUTURE DAYS
Their retirement remains an emotive ballad that brings to help the serene contemplation piano and strings.
RÉSUMÉ
Here musicians stuck firmly in their own Grandesse, not worrying about could-would-could. Music with a volume of whole oceans flows from the South, the Pearl Jam as concocted in the studio. In Vedder's unparalleled voice, a thrilling songwriting musicians and O'Brien's crystal clear as fuller production, which allows wide room and play any sound body, any references and comparisons are superfluous. Although "Lightning Bolt" is not as bleak as Vedder describes, and not as conceptual as "Backspacer", but pushed closer to the individual parts, with each part flows into batching About Trump Fung.

I could try to translate that review tomorrow (I'm too drunk right now and want to sleep) but I can't top that wonderful translation right there. :haha: But it's not saying anything interesting we haven't heard before. A lot of music journalist big-word blah blah.

I'm guessing this is written by one of the guys at the listening party who were talking over it the whole time. He's just gone home and written up an industry standard thing full of generic cliches that could've described a number of songs in each category.
