Pearl Jam Album A ‘Tight, Concise Rock’N'Roll Record’
gbarton / News, Top Posts / 10/07/2009 11:26am
Pearl Jam plan to release their ninth studio album, entitled Backspacer, through Universal on September 22.


Coming in at a tight 36 minutes the record has been produced by Brendan O’Brien, who last worked with the band on 1992’s Yield.

Among the songs set for inclusion are The Fixer, Got Some, See My Friend, Just Breathe, The End, Supersonic and Amongst The Waves.

“I’d sum it up as kind of a tight, concise, rock’n'roll record with kind of pop or maybe new wave elements to it,” guitarist Mike McCready told Classic Rock. “It’s a really quick record, but I like that element to it. I like the sparseness of the songs and the way that Brendan pulled us together and made us play as good as we could.”

McCready joined with guitarist Stone Gossard, bassist Jeff Ament and drummer Matt Cameron for some initial writing sessions at Ament’s house in Montana last year, before taking the ideas back to Seattle and singer Eddie Vedder, who brought in a batch of his own tunes too. At Brendan O’Brien’s suggestion, the album was recorded in LA.

“[When] we got together with Ed and it really started getting more cohesive, we took that momentum down to Los Angeles with Brendan,” says McCready. “It was a great idea to get us out of Seattle. You’ve gotta get out your comfort zone, and we’ve talked about doing that for the past ten years and kind of haven’t, so we trusted Brendan’s judgment.”

Pearl Jam will play two UK shows this year, at Manchester MEN Arena on August 17 and London 02 August 18.

Director Cameron Crowe has begun work on a Pearl Jam movie, tentatively set for release in 2011 to coincide with the band’s 20th anniversary celebrations.

“We have thousands of hours of footage of ourselves, going back maybe even to our first show,” says McCready. “We’ve known Cameron forever and we just trust him. He’s a rocker. He was on the road with Zeppelin. We hope to put up a cool movie of our highlights and lowlights.”

    Not a fact checking error, more of a typing error. Look at a numerical keypad. The 2 is in the same pathway as the 8, just on the opposite side.

    I suppose that's possible. But then it's just bad editing.

    i miss synergy. i miss all those articles. this place just complains about album lengths and not getting "ALL" the info in the world about the band. i think we are completely spoiled fans and get more then any other band gives. we get a new setlist EVERY SHOW pj puts on. not too many bands do that. you can go to 70 concerts a year and its different EVERY time. plus we get posters. i can go on and on all day how spoiled we are. lighten up people. enjoy the music. keep on jammin

    Like I said in another post, I would rather have 36 minutes of 11 great, rocking songs, than 50-60 minutes of 5-6 rocking out songs, 4 mellow-slow ones and a few fillers mixed in. Ten and Vs. were 11 and 12 full rocking songs, but then Vitalogy started the filler/spoken work tracks...pry,to, bugs and aye davanita (which were cool in their own right). No Code has a very short Lukin (which rocks) and I'm Open, Yield has * and the spoken word Push Me, Pull Me, Binaural has Soon Forget, Riot Act has Arc, and Pearl Jam (ST) has Wasted Reprise.
