Maybe I missed this somewhere but when was rearviewmirror renamed "Essential Peal Jam"? I was killing time in the Barnes and Noble music section tonight and they were selling the renamed version of the CD.
yeah, they renamed it "essential Pearl Jam" but I have also seen recent copies called "Rearview Mirror" Totally weird. Threw me off for a second when I saw it titled "Essential." Thought maybe they added more songs or something, but it's the same.
They shouldn't have renamed it though because it generic-sizes (new word?) The album as it does all the other "Essential" albums that are out there for $4.99.
The essential .38 Special The essential Pretenders The essential Hall & Oates etc, etc.
Not that I mind any of the bands, just cheapens the album. I even think "Greatest Hits" sounds cheap. Rearviewmirror fits the album in my own opinion.

When I had a 'band' in college, we wanted to name our record Steal this record... Oddly SOAD eventually named one of their albums, Steal This Album!! Weird coincidence!
