Very brief review below:
''If something's old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it,'' Eddie Vedder howls on ''The Fixer,'' the first single from the band's ninth studio album. Backspacer — named after a defunct typewriter key — is an ode to analog bygones, the sort of sweaty rock & roll that belongs in a bar with cracked-leather booths and $2 beers. The album grows same-y, but tracks like the surfing-as-life-metaphor anthem ''Amongst the Waves'' do indeed make something old feel, if not new, good again. B
