Lightning bolt is the new album from rock band, pearl jam
Pearl Jam, you may recall, rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone in the early 90's and found prominence on the back of their hit grunge album "TEN."

It's going to be tough. 2013 has been a musical monster year.
I'm sure I'll forget some, but here's a quick stab at my faves so far:

The Strokes
QOTSA
Arctic Monkeys
NIN
Jack Johnson
GRMLN
Josh Ritter
KOL
Elvis Costello & The Roots
Really? I heard about 30secs of a clip the other day and it was bland. My 2 yr old son even yelled turn it off. So proud.

But yeah it'll be tough to crack the ten this year.

Full bodied Vedder?

Lightning Bolt will be a return to form. I am more excited about its long-term cultural impact than I can describe.

Has Slavoj Zizek made a prophecy about this album yet?

Jesus man those questions to Ed about his father, and Gleasons project for his young son brought tears to my eyes. As a father of 1 (soon to be 3!!) this is the kind of stuff that just brings me to my knees.

I have not heard Ukelele Songs, so this will be a Pearl Jam song for me...if that makes sense.
