my Backspacer review
My copy of Pearl Jam's latest release arrived in my mailbox on Friday from Ten Club. Since that date I've probably listened to the album 30 times. I brought it into the house and popped it into the CD player for the first listen and ever since then it's been locked in the CD player in my car. The car seems to be my current choice of preferred listening.
The CD/Album starts off with 4 great rocking songs. Especially the track above, Gonna See My Friend. There are one or two more rockers later on the CD. The rockers are my favorite, that's Pearl Jam to me. My favorites are Got Some and Supersonic. The CD follows with a couple of slower songs, almost in the "Into The Wild" type of song. These are good also.
For a lot more information I suggest you check out Two Feet Thick and all of their Pearl Jam information, including Ed's talk about Backspacer Track-by-Track.
I like the deal with Target. It still allows them to sell the CD on Ten Club and sell it with independent record stores. Some of which are getting the limited edition The Fixer single which Pearl Jam is using on their Twitter feed to give away. You need to be the first one to the store to get the single on vinyl. So far nothing in my area.
If you're a long time Pearl Jam fan, I think you'll like this CD. If you've never really heard Pearl Jam, you should like this. My son requests that I play it every time he's in the car and even wanted to me to blast it out for the Face-Off Festival this weekend.

Get it at Target or an indy store. The Target in Waukesha had the Vinyl. I ohhh over that for a bit. No T-Shirts though, the guy there said they were gone in two days.
