PJ makes MySpace's 50 best albums of 2009
I don't think this has been posted yet, and if it has I appologize, but I just thought I would share. Backspacer came in at 42 on MySpace's 50 best of last year, here is what they had to say...
"A funny thing happened to Pearl Jam as they began writing their ninth album together: The world that they spent most of the ’90s rebelling against had practically disappeared. Think about it: In 2009, there was no finite version of what “selling out” or “corporate rock” actually meant. So what did that leave Eddie Vedder and company to cry about? Not much, really. But it turns out that was actually a good thing because, throughout Backspacer, the lyrics are more optimistic and the guitars are once again cranked up to 11, especially on rollicking tracks like “Got Some” and “The Fixer.” Granted, Pearl Jam weren’t the only grunge Gods who mounted a comeback this year. (Unfortunately, we also had to suffer through Alice In Chains.) But in the end, Eddie and the boys were the only ones who actually got it right. "
