This is music that means something from one of the last few classic bands to give us some credit by believing we deserve some.

great line

and welcome to the board :)

i don't agree, but it's nice to hear someone gave a PJ song 5 stars!

That was quite indeed a great way to end a piece about not just this song, but any Pearl Jam song in general. Excellent piece of writing.

great review for a change, does anyone think that "pearl jam" will become a classic rock album?

Only time can tell that, but my initial feeling is "no." That doesn't mean I wouldn't mind seeing it happen, though.

i also think that, but in my opnion pj has better albuns that diserve that status a lot more don´t you think? i think "pearl jam" is like a new life, a new stage, and for that matter it definitely should have it´s place in the history of rock.and i say this because it´s clear for me that pj is and it will be a great rock influence in the future, standing aside great names like, rolling stones, led zepellin, pink floyd and others.

I agree but career-revitalising albums are often overlooked. Take Neil Young, for example. In the 1980's, he was considered a joke for most of the decade. Then in 1989 he released Freedom, one of his greatest albums ever. He then went on to make a string of other really strong albums which were critically acclaimed. But how is he remembered today? From his early work. I foresee the same thing happening to Pearl Jam.

Just to point out Satan's Bed was not played at Leeds or Reading and Rockin' In The Free World was played at Reading not Leeds, so a bit of a muddle by the reviewer here.

it needs at least one more mega hit. It likely won't be gone.
