Greetings everyone, it is I, the Consultant.
I was reflecting the other day over drinks at the local burlesque house that it has been almost a year now since Pearl Jam came out, I have been with my 5th wife, and I have posted on this great forum.
I often compare the album Pearl Jam to my 5th wife. It was really good to start out with, it was played hard and quite often, but got quite boring after 3 days.
What are your thoughts on this last album almost a year after it came out? I often find myself humming a tune from the album while I am being driven home from work in the back of my limo. The girls that are with me have no idea what I am humming. Is this album going to become forgotten like all of my wives? Or, will it's memory induce happy memories and will be appreciated in a number of years; perhaps after the next Pearl Jam album is out?
What are your thoughts 1 year later? Do you still listen to Pearl Jam?

I remember when it came out I thought is was the best since VS. Now thats changed. But I still sing "I will not lose my faith, its an inside job tody" a helluva lot.

Comatose, Marker, Severed Hand, Unemployable and Gone are all on my top rated list on my iPod. I disliked Life Wasted at first, then it grew on me once the album came out, and now it's take-it-or-leave it. I still say one of the above five songs shoulda been the second single.
Winnipeg rocks, btw.

I still frickin' love the album. WWS, Comatose, Severed Hand, Big Wave, Wasted Reprise, Army Reserve, Come Back, and Inside Job are still in regular rotation on my ipod and cd player.
I think it's one of their strongest albums for sure. Up there with Vitalogy, Binaural and Riot Act as my favourites.

parachutes=great great song.
life wasted is great to rock out to if i'm in that mood(like yesterday). so are the next 3 songs. Unemployable, Army Reserve, and Come Back=wow. Inside Job was but I think maybe I wore it out when it came out.
