Here are the full song descriptions from German music mag Visions as translated by me:


THE NEW PEARL JAM: HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT

Four mountain ridges, a canyon, a copious green valley, a steep rock, a jungle, veld - and an almost punchline ending. Pearl Jam's ninth studio album "Backspacer" is the first one since "Yield" that has been produced by Brendan O'Brien.

See My Friend: Pearl Jam as you expect them today: straight rock, strong lyrics, hands-on and aggressive.

Got Some: Also rock, also straight and almost angry but with some distinctive guitar licks by Mike McCready.

The Fixer: The first highlight. A tight, almost classic rock tune but clever at the same time. Slightly odd, and with cool vocal melodies and rhythms this track is a mini anthem.

Johnny Guitar: Fortunately not as bland as the title suggests. Also a rocker, but with a remarkable amout of lyrics and sincerity. Grows above average but still a very classical tune.

Just Breathe: The first break and a moment to take some breath. Lovely acoustic ballad. The fingers fly over the fret board, an unobtrusive string arrangement and lyrics about love - mature, wonderful, terrific vocal delivery.

Amongst The Waves: Finally there's not only pushing forward but in all directions with a song that tries to reach the sky. The positive build-up reminds of "Given To Fly" as well as the fact that you just can't point at the root of "Amongst The Waves" (Is it the lyrics? guitars? drums?).

Unthought Known: First very climatic, then a passionate mid-tempo rock song. A slightly blurry ending but still more palpable than anything off the last album.

Supersonic: The obligatory wild song that you can find on every Pearl Jam album since "Vitalogy". Almost cheerful, driven by Matt Cameron's fast pace, in the beginning reminiscent of Soundgarden. But Soundgarden were better at creating those angular bundles of energy.

Speed Of Sound: Exotic. A strange pop song with a different sound than the rest of the album and its clear-cut production. Still: piano, tingling, suspense...

Force Of Nature: A rock song like a Pearl Jam concert: An innocent beginning, but it grows naturally and expands and has you totally in its grip before you know it.

The End: The second acoustic song and to be taken literally. One of the strongest ballads by the band since a long time, amongst other things because its urgency manifests in Vedder's vocals. Even the end of the end needs a worthy ending.

OH BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. thanks for this!!!


i really hope this shuts everybody up!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you... I know how tough it is to translate...

I'm really getting curious about "Among the Waves". I really like this title, very poetic. Beats "Sigarette song" IMO. And is there anyone else here who thinks there might be a link between song 4 and Johnny Ramone?

You're welcome!
I hope everything comes across. The English is not perfect in some places but it took me an hour to do that so this is all you get...

I also think "Johnny Guitar" is about Johnny Ramone but I was really curious about "Cigarette Song Part 1 and 2"...

I like what I'm reading...

sound like this is going to be a decently experimental album. Seems like we got a slow acoustic No Code-ish song, a Yield-ish song, a soundgarden-ish song (SWEET), and some wierd pop-ish song (which obviously will not be liked by all most likely) Unthought Known sounds like a good song for the middle of the album too

The only ting I'm not too psyched about is the whole 11 songs and 36 minutes, but oh well. (didnt i just say before that i dont believe this article?)

I don't have the interview - I was working with the pictures posted here... What I could decipher of half the page that was in the photo there wasn't anything that we don't already know...
But I might buy a copy when it comes out on Wednesday (The OP is a subscriber and received the mag earlier than anyone else).

I really hope for some B-sides this time!!!

you my friend, are awesome! thank you so much!

this album sounds fantastic! i am sooo pumped!

Stephen Flow

Not gonna quote the translations but...

THANK YOU FOR TRANSLATING!

Does anyone else think that this might just be MOST of the tracks off of the album and not all of them?

Think about this... if you only let people sample a portion of the album... they can't leak the whole thing... I know I'm probably wrong but there might be a few more songs on here that haven't been sampled yet.

Plankton

Translations make it sound awesome. Still got two or three months to wait!

I just thought of it now, but do you think that working title "cigarette song" might be "Got Some"? Would def. change the meaning of the song

You're welcome, skyvalley!
Maybe you should edit the first post of this thread and quote my translation so no more people call bullshit on the Visions article... it would also make it easier for people to just read the first post and not go through 15 pages... I don't want to start a new thread...

skyvalley

for a better overview - i just put the pictures and the translation in the first post...

huck_5

"The End" is awesome.

Thanks for this post. The pics were cool to look at. Hopefully we get a similar preview in an English publication soon - maybe RS or Billboard...
