There are few bands as long existence keep as Pearl Jam. After 23 years, the rock band from Seattle might not be as hip as in the time of the album Ten, but certainly still relevant. Pearl Jam has been a few years back even unprecedented popularity, partly due to the focus on the deluxe edition of Ten and the success of frontman Eddie Vedder's soundtrack for Into The Wild. Lightning Bolt is the tenth studio album from the band and, like predecessor Backspacer on its own label Monkeywrench Records. Obviously there worked with regular producer Brendan O'Brien. The result is more than three quarters of music, the first half largely past as an express train thundering and the second half a lot more subdued and text centered. You can't speak of real innovation but that bothers nowhere. opener Getaway and title track Lightning Bolt had to stand in style of Backspacer First single Mind Your Manners grabs further back and reminds Spin The Black Circle of Vitalogy. Sleeping By Myself we know all of Vedder's solo album Ukulele Songs, but is now equipped with additional packages. Also lyrically we get from Eddie Vedder what makes him such a brilliant songwriter: texts about observing feelings and the outside world, and by trial and error to find your own place, be it in terms of love (Sleeping By Myself ), family (My Father's Son) or yourself (Pendulum) is. With Lightning Bolt Pearl Jam once again proves its own timelessness. 8.0

Gotta be honest, I was hoping for more than that.

How big was ITW in Holland? I know it was still in the top40 in Italy when BS was released and it must be getting Ed a considerable amount of money in royalties considering how often i hear it as background music of all sorts of Italian TV shows.

if that was a long review or an interview I'd say please. But I'm not sure this one is essential. If she gets to it that'd be great, but I think we should reserve our 'you must translate this' credits for something more substantial
