![]() ![]() ![]() Pearl Jam were a vital force in the 1990s and, at a time when Nirvana were defining Grunge, Pearl Jam arrived (their debut came out the same year as Nirvana’s Nevermind) provided an Alternative Rock sound that incorporated elements of Grunge but was unique to them. They do not need to be in the business, and they have recorded music that will be loved and assessed for generations to come. Look at The Rolling Stones and bands who have been around even longer than Pearl Jam. One can argue the likes of Pearl Jam are in it for the money that they have a commercial ear and fans are going to keep buying their albums regardless. After such titanic albums (including their 1991 debut, Ten), what more can they offer? The Seattle-formed band’s last album, 2013’s Lightning Bolt, was well-received, and they have recently announced a new album will be out this year called Gigaton. First of all, there is this age-old, old-age debate as to whether acts like Pearl Jam – who started life over thirty years ago – should still be playing. There are a few subjects that I want to cover that relate to Pearl Jam, and I will get to the review itself a bit later. Some people on my blog have complained about the length of my reviews and the fact they are very positive so, if a thoughtful and positive review does not appeal, probably best to look at every other site out there! With that being said, I couldn’t avoid Pearl Jam because, like so many people out there, they are part of my childhood. Get through in this review but, before carrying on, it is evident there are not too many current images of Pearl Jam, so I may have to sprinkle in some classic shots so that I can avoid any gaps.
