Good read. Nice to see a reviewer who knows they band a bit, and it is clear he has actually listened to the album before writing.

Sounds like a fan

I agree...I've read several others that make me wonder if the people writing them have ever actually listened to the band!

"When Pearl Jam first began (guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament founded the band after singer Andrew Wood of their previous band, Mother Love Bone, died of a heroin overdose) they were lumped in with the dozens of bands that sprung up from Seattle like weeds as just another Nirvana wannabe. Although their sound was remarkably different from their Northwestern predecessors some people still cannot use Pearl Jam in a sentence without evoking the spirit of Nirvana"

What a fucking hypocrite, lol.

its was a good pearl jam review but he didn't speak too much about the album other than what songs are on it. Most of the article was about pearl jams carreer, which he held a bias on. if i were to grade it i would give it a B-

Being a greatest hits album, there wasn't much new material to analyze. Greatest hits albums are a reflection on the career of a band, so I thought the review was appropriate.

Agreed...too many reviews of the band have been neagative in the past. Plus, the deaf critics line definately rings true. How many times have true PJ fans complained that the comparison between them and Nirvana are ridiculous?? And I love Nirvana...but the 2 bands NEVER sounded anything alike!

Another Rearview Mirror review...
