Upcoming Album Track Listing Published
by: Kathy Davis
June 22, 2009
The Pearl Jam world is ablaze with news about the track listing published
in German magazine Visions July 2009 issue. If you’re reading this, you’ve
probably already seen the track list, but here’s an overview of the news
and information that is surfacing about “Backspacer”, Pearl Jam’s upcoming
11 song, 39 minute long album.
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. Rolling Stone Magazine discussed
this in their Feb. 19, 2009 article: One song, a garage-y composition by
Vedder, repeats the lyric “see my friends” over Stooges-meet-the-Who
power chords and loose, Johnny Thunders-inspired lead guitar from
Mike McCready.
Got Some: Also rock, also straight and almost angry but with some
distinctive guitar licks by Mike McCready. Track was performed live on
Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien June 1, 2009
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. Performed for Target commercial shot by
Cameron Crowe at The Showbox in Seattle May 29, 2009. Title confirmed by
Kelly Curtis in Billboard Magazine article of June 1, 2009
Johnny Guitar: Fortunately not as bland as the title suggests.
Also a rocker, but with a remarkable amount 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. Track performed live by Ed Vedder on his 2008 solo tour in New
Jersey- August 7, Montreal- August 10, Washington, D.C.- August 16
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. Though likely unrelated,
the Seattle Supersonics were an NBA basketball team from 1967-2008. The word
itself means “faster than the speed of sound”, which coincidentally
is the title of the next album track.
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. Track performed live by Ed Vedder on his 2009 solo
tour in Philadelphia - June 12, Baltimore-June 14, Nashville- June 18
The magazine lists September 18 as the release date; perhaps this is the
European date with September 22 being the projected U.S. release date.
Short album, you say? It doesn’t need to have a long running time to be
brilliant. If you had a chance to pickup R.E.M.’s latest release,
last years ”Accelerate”, it should help convince you that short, sweet
and to the point is sometimes a better way to go -”Accelerate” turned out
to be a perfect return to form, and clocks in at 34 minutes with it’s
11 tracks. The new U2, No Line On The Horizon = 11 tracks, 53 minutes.
The boys are keeping good company.
