Pearl Jam Pearl Jam

Pro-Social Content
Singer Eddie Vedder cautions a despondent friend that refusing to move on will lead to a "Life Wasted." Similarly, the optimistic "Inside Job" finds a man refusing to let disappointments destroy him ("How I choose to feel is how I am"). "Army Reserve," "Parachute" and "World Wide Suicide" all decry war while mourning its casualties, especially the heavy-hearted families and friends fretting back home. Songs also caution against drug abuse ("Severed Hand") and eulogize a victim of corporate downsizing who is left to support his family without a paycheck ("Unemployable").

Objectionable Content
It's one thing to hate the prospect of war, another to vilify those burdened with the task of fighting one ("World Wide Suicide"). Vedder lambastes people of faith on the live-and-let-live diatribe "Marker in the Sand." Other lines appear to buy into evolution ("Big Wave") and the right of gays to marry ("Comatose"). Grotesque liner photos look like something out of a Uwe Boll movie.

Summary Advisory
Pearl Jam captures the band's passion for social issues. In some cases, that's great. In others, listeners who prefer the moral high ground will feel ridiculed.

Overall, not as good as the other ones, but good enough. The translations of Big Wave and Comatose in particular cracks me up.

hahahaahah. no kidding. lol.

'like something out of a uwe boll movie'?

Uwe fucking Boll?

I want to be high on Jesus, too.

wow, those people got it more wrong than Pearl Harbor

smoke a bible

I don't smoke. I'm a good boy.

Haha

Haha, that's a great review.

My favorite line forever will be from RA:

"1/2 Full" says some men are "half full of s---" and wants someone to "save the world," oblivious to the fact that Christ already has."

This one is good one though.

How on earth did they conclude that Comatose is about gay marriage? Did they take the lines "Blood on all the pistons" and "If it's illegal to be in love" and let their decrepit imaginations do the rest?

funny how they think that for a family to be decent, needs to be christian.

I love this people...

""1/2 Full" says some men are "half full of s---" and wants someone to "save the world," oblivious to the fact that Christ already has."

Those reviews are great...! Especially like these lines:

"Do the Evolution" is unsettling due to the unclear context of lines such as "I'm at peace with my lust/I can kill 'cause I trust in God" and "I'll do what I want, but irresponsibly."

" A half-dozen f-words mar the generally positive "Save You."

Vedder is unfair and unkind in his criticism of President Bush and his party ("Bush Leaguer").

From the No Code review:
"Since storming onto the pop scene in 1992,"

Some nutjobs must have written those reviews!



That's under 'objectionable content'.

And since whe nwas WWS 'villifying' "those burdened with the task of fighting" a war. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Religious nuts- the cancer of society today.
