Parece que lo de cantarle a Bob Esponja es algo que se lleva dentro del mundo del ruock

Y "Of The Earth"? Creei que iba a entrar...

El domingo a la noche volví a ver el documental de Cameron Crowe, "Twenty".

Que traicionera es la nostalgia.

Aqui esta el videoclip de Mind Your Manners

Eddie Vedder imitando a Biff Malibú?? salvo en el estribillo el tema suena muy Gluecifer.

Pues llevas razón...El tema me gusta por eso, me gusto desde el principio y cada vez me gusta más.

Es que el tema es muy punk/hard-rocker de esos con riffs directos al mentón.

A mí me gusta pero no me mata (aún)..no la he escuchado demasiado...eso sí, la prefiero a the fixer de largo

Siguiendo su trayectoria, con sus altibajos lógicamente, como todas, dentro de las 10 mejores, pero no soy imparcial.

Esta tarde hubo una escucha del disco en Berlín, ya salen las primeras 'reviews' por ahí.

Mañana hay lo mismo pero en Amsterdam, creo.

AlternativeNation.net representative Joost Konersmann attended the listening party in Amsterdam for Pearl Jam’s new album Lightning Bolt. He has shared the following track by track first impression review of the album:

Getaway:
Ed sings about ‘Dark stormy weather’ over an pounding bass driven riff. It sounded ‘contemporary’, heavy and light at the same time. Dark lyrics but incredibly catchy melodies. The song boasts two blistering Mike solos and really strong vocals by Ed. A rocking pop tune akin to The Fixer or Breakerfall (not that they have much in common) but less classic rock. It leans more contemporary (like the Arctic Monkeys and The Killers had a lovechild).

Mind Your Manners:
A good hard punch after a “Getaway” rounding out a strong combo to start this record.

My Father’s Son:
When they tried ‘new wave’ type songs on Backspacer they only succeeded on “Got Some”. They also succeed here with tight playing, heavy bass, and a weird bridge (a ‘typical’ Matt bridge). There’s a lot going on in this bridge. It was not an experimental song. I already want to hear it again. Another dark heavy pop tune.

Sirens:
The song that some already say is the best the band has ever written. Well, it could very well be a sleeper and the one I will like the most in about a year or so. But on first listen it didn’t do much for me. Until Sirens, Pearl Jam never came as close to an ‘eighties’ power ballad. Mike wrote this song and is very proud of it, he said on the EPK (which featured interviews done by: Judd Apatow, Carrie Brownstein, and more). Not impressed with this one on first listen.

Lightning Bolt:
After being slightly disappointed by Sirens, Lightning Bolt felt like a celebration. We’ve all heard the live version of which I was not too keen. But it does sound much better on album. It reached higher than “Unthought Known”. Still, a song that Eddie could write in his sleep. But it’s not a nightmare.

Infallible:
My first notes say: YES, YES, YES!!! This is exactly what I wanted from a new Pearl Jam record. They cover new ground here. Another bass heavy track (probably written by Jeff who owns this record). Excellent use of keyboards and weird effects. Lots of harmonies in vocals and instruments. Did I hear a cowbell (not sure on that)? It was the song I liked the most and their most experimental one in a decade. It’s hard to describe. If you have heard Jeff’s latest solo record While My Heart Beats, you can get a feeling of what to expect here. Think Incubus goes Achtung Baby, for the lack of a better description.

Pendulum:
Remember that tour announcement video Pearl Jam posted some time ago with a mystery new song clip? If you liked the weird sounds you were hearing then you will love this song because it’s the mystery song “Pendulum”. Some nice piano played for the intro. Another atmospheric and experimental track (it was at this point where I started to believe that Pearl Jam really made that record I ‘wanted’ from them). What’s that high sound? High Pitch vocals? Wow! It’s Ed! He has never sounded like this before. The harmonies again sound great. Lots and lots of dubbed vocals. Tight compressed drums. Another excellent track!

Swallowed Whole:
Another Ed track and nice counterpart to ‘Lightning Bolt’. This is actually a great pop song, some jangle jingle REM like guitars with some Who-like chords under it. Another song that Ed could write in his sleep but on first listen I liked this one more that LB.

Let The Records Play:
Ladies and Gentlemen…it’s time to kick out the jams and twist and shout. Roll over Beethoven, Jack White and Dan Auerbach…This is Pearl Jam’s take on a blues rock featuring hand claps and tube-screaming solos. A light and fun song, much better than “Supersonic”. Not the best track on the record but I had a huge smile on my face. Nothing original but new for Pearl Jam. Will be fun live.

Sleeping By Myself:
Why? Why Ed? Why Brendan? Why is this on the record? It doesn’t belong. Basically it’s the same as the ukelele song only with some arrangements. The arrangements are nice but they don’t add much. I liked the ukelele version much much better. That was its home. Feels out of place here. Uninspiring moment for the band. But who knows, it could very well be the next single and become a hit. But “Of The Earth” or “Cold Confession” would be a much better fit here. Fuck even “Olé” would have been better.

Yellow Moon:
Another dark and atmospheric song. This will definitely be a sleeper that grows on me. It has weird time signatures, some great vocals, and a really nice solo by Mike. Another song that I already want to hear again.

Future Days:
Much better than the live version. It still has that Springsteen sound. Nice touches with the violin and no drums. The cheesy piano out-ro actually works here. It fades out. Not the best track on the record but a good way to end this record.

So, it’s impossible for me to go beyond my first impressions. But I think it will be better than Backspacer. It’s a darker and more atmospheric record with some great gems. It’s half of the record I really wanted from them (Getaway, My Father’s Son, Infallible, Pendulum, Let The Records Play, Yellow Moon) and half of what you have heard from this band before (Mind Your Manners, Sirens, Lightning Bolt, Sleeping By Myself, Swallowed Whole, Future Days). The latter would be the logical extension from Backspacer but the first half is 50% of an incredible record – the record they didn’t make. They could have gone Achtung Baby or Yankee Foxtrot Hotel on us but didn’t. This will be a great record but I already have mixed feelings over what could have been.

Otra review más:

Getaway (+/- 3:00)
I brought a stopwatch to time the songs, but I was too excited so I
forgot to time Getaway but it's about 3 minutes long. The song itself
sounds hip and fresh and could easily been written by one of the
current rock bands. The song started with the lyric "Everyone's a
critic", which I guess will prove itself once the record is out.
Other lyrics included '"Find a lighthouse in dark stormy weather",
"it's ok,....make your getaway". The song had a start/stop feel to it
and ended with a guitar shredding outro.

Mind Your Manners (2:40)
The sound on this was much clearer than Getaway to me, but all the
songs were in a compressed format anyway so it was hard to tell
exactly what caused the difference.

My Father's Son (3:02)
This song begins with some spoken wordish lyrics a la 'Bushleaguer'
about insemination and getting a release. This song had a pleasant
rhythm (my notes read tadadadum), and halfway it descends it something
a bit slower and with more bass. The way the lyrics were sung here
reminded me of 'Johnny Guitar'.

Sirens (5:37)
It starts off with the line "Hear the Sirens" x 3 and something about
a circus profound. I liked the start of the song but later on it
becomes a bit more like a power ballad, but the "Hear the Sirens" line
might save it. Need to hear it more to make a better judgement. It
ends with a guitar solo that reminded me of something you would hear
on a Guns N' Roses song.

Lightning Bolt (4:35)
This song features a piano and a guitar fade out. It felt to me like
this song will work better live than on the album somehow.

Infallible (5:15)
This is the song that was played during the soundcheck in London,
Ontario this year, only it has a different intro than the way it
started live. Lyrics featured lines such as "Keep on locking your
doors", "Won't get you this time", "Ships coming in and sinking",
"Thinking we're infallible, we're tempting faith instead". It features
a guitar solo and ends with a fade out.

Pendulum (3:36)
This one starts with some drums and lyrics "We are here and then we're
gone", "My shadow left me long ago", "Understand what we don't know".
Later in this song the guitar sounds a bit like a slide guitar. It's
definitely a darker song, also because of the lyrics which further
include "Into the fire but still I'm cold", "Nothing works for me
anymore". Ed later on starts singing "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" and singing over
this as well. I liked the different layers of this song. Could become
one of my favourites on this album.

Swallowed Whole (3:49)
I pictured this song to be more somber but it actually is quite a lot
more happy sounding. It begins with some nice strumming guitar sound
and the lyrics seemed to be more darker than the song itself. It
features some rhyme repeating words like drown, drown, drown and loud,
loud, loud, the currents pull me down, the songs are like wind,
breathing forgiveness. Thinking back on it, it could have the same
meaning as 'In Hiding' and it definitely features typically Ed ocean
imagery. Enjoyed this song as well, also because of the way it was
sung. Ends with a guitar solo.

Let The Records Play (3:42)
The most blues rock song on the album but with a fun feel to it and
therefore it stands out from the others, like someone in a party mood
suddenly enters a room where others are having a serious discussion.
Typically a goofy Stone song. Lines include "When the kingdom comes,
he puts the records on", "Shaking but waking, wisdom in his bones".
Features a Stone solo and handclaps (according to my fellow companions
but I did not notice them myself) and ends with a fade out. This song
could go any which way after a few listens. Difficult to say if it
stays with you or not.

Sleeping By Myself (2:59)
Considering the reactions this song got from the rest of the company I
was in, most people are going to shit all over this song. Brendan
O'Brien even said they had a hard time making this song sound less
commercial, which makes you wonder you even more about what the other
versions of this song sounded like.
This is definitely the Speed of Sound of this album. I actually still
kind of liked it. It's as if they made a happier sounding version of
this song, like it is actually quite swell to be sleeping by oneself.
I wrote down that this version reminded me of 'Soon Forget'. It still
features a uke as well. Looking forward to people's reaction to this
once the album is officially out.

Yellow Moon (3:47)
Here we arrive at my personal favourite song on the album. I was even
singing along halfway into the song, which prompted Mirella to shush
me. Not really sure what made me like the song so much but it was just
like seeing a great jacket in a shop and when you try it on it fits
like a glove. It could have been the words as well, which went
something like "Here far away, feel the earth vibrate, the moon
chasing shape", "Round we go, where we stop no one knows", "As the sky
grows dark, we're falling stars". The chorus goes "Yellow moon on the
rise" with the rise part being sung as riiiiiiiise. Looking forward to
hearing this song again soon.

Future Days (4:20)
The album version opens with a piano, at least to me it sounded like a
real piano and not a keyboard. A lot of different instruments can be
heard on this song. A mandolin, a violin. I asked Brendan about it and
he said that only the violin was played by someone outside the band
and the rest was all played by the band itself and Brendan. The
beginning is just a single guitar with Ed singing. The song itself has
a Springsteen feel to it. It ends with the piano as well and
eventually fades out. Lots of fades on this record. There were two
songs which sort of seemed to blend into each other but I cannot
remember which ones these were.

So that is my take on these songs. It seems I enjoyed the second half
of the album more, and it looks like I will be in the minority on this
one, judging from other people reviews so far. Let me just that I
found it very difficult to describe what I was hearing. The album is
not easily digestible in one go, which usually is a good sign. Time
will tell how all these tracks will hold up and how they will stand
when played live. I think we are in for an interesting ride to say the
least.

Por mi bien.

A ver si me gusta más que el de NIN

Pero vamos a día de hoy me espero un disco digno con alguna canción destacable, que es lo que vienen a ofrecer PJ últimamente.

Que no tendrán fotos estos tíos con Vedder como cara visible en los últimos 20 años...

El disco sale el 15 de Octubre, y se comenta que el segundo single va a ser Sirens, de la quqe hablan generalmente muy bien. Yo las reviews no me las tomo en serio, pero según comentan el cambio respecto a Backspacer es claro, con bastantes canciones tirando a oscuras y poco digeribles (Pendulum, Infallible, My Father's Son...). Lo que me temo es que se van a quedar a medio camino de hacer el disco que me hubiese gustado, o sea, uno con todos los temas en ese plan.

Veremos.

Desde que Eddie mete más baza en la composición de los temas PJ han perdido muchíiiiiiiiiiiisimo, EMHO.

Pero si Vedder lleva saliendo en las fotos en primer plano toda la puñetera carrera del grupo.

Y me apetece escucharlo lo mismo que una toba con cuchara de helado en el huevo izquierdo.

Sleeping by myself es la canción que tiene en el disco del ukelele, y es parecida pero con algo más de música metida por el grupo. Según Brendan O'Brien, fue él el que insistió en que la metieran en el disco, y según los que lo han oído, el tema chirría que da pena en el conjunto del cd.

Ya te digo. A mí que después de 4 años sin sacar nada nuevo metan esa canción en el disco me parece demencial, pero bueno, es lo que hay.

Parece ser que se han filtrado 4 temas del disco, a ver si doy con ellos.
