There are only two bands currently I will pre-order albums from, knowing that neither has ever disappointed. The Black Crowes (or Chris Robinson Solo) and Pearl Jam. Both have been going for over 20 years and started around the same time and both continue to get better with age and give incredible live performances. The first few times I listened to this album, I just wasn't feeling it. I was thinking, finally- maybe Pearl Jam will put out a bad album. After some more listens and especially after seeing them live again, I have changed my tune on this one and definitely like it. I felt the same way when Binaural, Riot Act and other PJ albums were first released. There aren't many immediately catchy tunes (like Worldwide suicide, Life wasted, Just Breathe), but they do grow on you after awhile. Chalk some of that up to Eddies unorthodox lyrical writing. His Lyrics have never been standard. Getaway might be the first tune that I got into...and slowly I started liking the rest. It took some listing as background music while driving for the short time I've had it. Now having seen them live last night (34 song set!), I've really become fond of Yellow Moon, Pendulum, Sirens, Infallible, Lightning bolt, Mind your manners, my Fathers son. The raw emotion, tension and tempo changes are there that I've come to love...even in the slow songs you can feel every ounce of emotion Eddie gives in his singing and echoed by the guitars. The rest of the songs I'm starting to enjoy too, but haven't had enough time to just sit and listen/read the lyrics as every Pearl Jam song deserves. I already know there is definitely enough here to love though and am already plotting to see them live again. Every concert I've seen has been a highly memorable and special experience. They play every show like it's their last. I've always been a Pearl Jam fan. Many "fans" ditched the band after Vitalogy as "grunge" faded. I never bought into the grunge thing so much as a category. It was always rock n roll to me. Grunge was more of a marketing term and Pearl Jam is more than a grunge band, just as Led Zeppelin is more than a "heavy metal" band. I remember after Binaural, people were saying "Pearl Jam is still around?" when I brought them up. Yeah, and they still are going strong today. As a band I don't think they ever take their lives or success for granted. I'm not sure where I'd rank this in the PJ catalog. Every album is so different (and that's a good thing). I'm surprised at some of the reviews on here that disliked Backspacer, Avocado and Riot Act. I like all of them. As an entire album goes, it's hard for me to rank...but Yield, No Code, Ten, Vitalogy and Avocado rank higher than this one probably. I'd have a hard time ranking any as a least favorite. Every album has something to remember. It's not something I ever felt compelled to do. If you are a real Pearl Jam fan, what are you waiting for? Just get it. If you think Ten is their only good album, well I feel sorry for you. It has to be mentioned that PJ always gives you a quality CD package with lyrics, images and artwork. Not just some cheapass jewel case. That never goes unappreciated. Review: Love this Album - Great shipping, item etc. Still have this today in original wrapping (given as a gift). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DW1WR14 | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,008 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #29,618 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,797) | | Date First Available | July 12, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 3749367 | | Label | Monkeywrench / Republic Records | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Monkeywrench / Republic Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2013 | | Product Dimensions | 4.96 x 5.59 x 0.55 inches; 4.09 ounces | ## Images ![Lightning Bolt - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61H7udj0EsL.jpg) ![Lightning Bolt - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61X6Qk3RacL.jpg) ![Lightning Bolt - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/B1DeXCQ8J+S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the few Great bands left on the planet. *by W***E on October 23, 2013* Firstly, I will state.
