So Sony/BMG played 6 songs yesterday to some people from http://www.mariskalrock.com in a private advance listening. These people run both 'Heavy Rock' and 'Kerrang' magazines here in Spain, so you can trust this source. Maybe someone else can traslante this one better than me (my englis sucks hard).

PEARL JAM

Escucha exclusiva

Esta misma mañana en las oficinas de Sony/BMG en España hemos tenido acceso exclusivo, como único medio de comunicación acreditado, a la escucha de seis temas ya masterizados del que será el próximo disco de Pearl Jam.
El álbum, del que todavía se desconoce el título,

estará en las tiendas a partir del 2 de mayo y es uno de los lanzamientos más esperados para este año por parte de la multinacional, junto a AC/DC, del que todavía no tienen información, y Tool, que estará disponible el mismo 2 de mayo.

De las canciones que hemos escuchado se desprende la idea de que Pearl Jam vuelve a ser esa poderosa banda que embrujó en los ’90. Parece que será un lp que se retrotrae al sonido de los primeros trabajos. La producción de la guitarra y la batería vuelve a ser muy cruda, las canciones muy roqueras, con muchos riffs de guitarra y solos, y Eddie Vedder recupera su tono agresivo. Así, “Severed Hand”, la primera canción que hemos podido escuchar, cumple todos estos requisitos. Es un tema con mucho groove, con ese feeling que desprendían en canciones como “Alive”. Es un derroche guitarrero constante mezclado con un gran estribillo donde Vedder vuelve a lucir como antaño. De las que hemos escuchado, hay más temas en esta línea. Por ejemplo, sin ir más lejos, la elección del single sorprende por no ser para nada un single al uso. Se llama “World Wide Suicide” y, aunque todavía no está confirmado por completo, sí podría ser el definitivo single. En este tema Vedder se sale cantando con todas sus fuerzas y con mucha garra eso del “World Wide Suicide”. Es un tema que desprende sudor, como también desprende sudor “Comatose”, una canción rapidísima mezclada con ese toque de locura y desenfreno que ya caracterizó algunas composiciones de Pearl Jam a comienzos de su carrera. Los solos y la manera de desgarrar la voz de Eddie te dejarán atónito.
Las otras dos composiciones se podrían acercar a sus últimos trabajos, sobre todo “Unemployable”, más calmada en cuanto a ritmo, con Eddie jugando con coros y dobles voces. “Parachutes” recuerda melódicamente a los Beatles, acompañando las guitarras con acústicas y una línea de bajo muy marcada.
En cualquier caso, desconocemos si nos han pinchado estos seis temas de forma premeditada, pero, si ha sido casual, este nuevo disco de Pearl Jam podría volver a traernos a los Pearl Jam frescos que todos/as disfrutamos en los noventa. Así sea.

PEARL JAM

Exclusive listening

This morning in the offices of Sony/BMG in Spain we've had exclusive access, as the only accredited media, to the hearing of six songs already mastered from what will be Pearl Jam's next album.

The album, of which the title is still unknown, will be in stores beginning May 2nd and is one of the more awaited releases for this year from the multinational, along with AC/DC, of which they don't have information yet, and Tool, which will be available the same May 2nd.
Of the songs we've heard is where we get the idea that Pearl Jam goes back to being that powerful band that bewitched in the 90's. It seems like it will be an LP that retroacts itself to the sound of their first works. The production of the guitar and drums goes back to being very raw, the songs very rocking, with a lot of guitar riffs and solos, and Eddie Vedder recovers his agressive tone. Thus, "Severed Hand," the first song that we were able to listen to, fulfills all these requisites. It's a tune with a lot of groove, with that feeling given out by songs like "Alive." It's a constant guitar flow mixed with a great chorus where Vedder goes back to shining like the old days. From the ones we've heard, there's a lot more songs along those lines. For example, without going any further, the selection of the single is surprising for not being a usable single at all. It's called "World Wide Suicide" and, although still it is not completely confirmed, it could indeed be the definite single. In this tune Vedder goes out singing with all his strength, and with a lot of guts that “World Wide Suicide” thing. It’s a tune that gives out sweat, just like “Comatose” does, a very fast song mixed with a touch of insanity and recklessness that has already characterized some of Pearl Jam’s compositions at the beginning of their career. The solos and the way Eddie tears apart his voice will leave you astonished.
The other two compositions could compare more closely with their latter works, especially “Unemployable,” more calm with respect to rhythm, with Eddie playing around with background vocals and double voices. “Parachutes” reminds melodically to the Beatles, accompanying the guitars with acoustics and a very marked bass line.

In any case, we don’t know if they have leaked these six songs to us in a premeditated way, but, if it has been casual, this new Pearl Jam album could bring us back the fresh Pearl Jam that we all enjoyed in the nineties. So be it.

Wow, thanks! I hope this means we will be seeing some news soon if they are letting some media in on this. Thanks again for translating

nice read..thanks

thanks.

now i'm REALLY excited about this

Thanks for the translation; very good job

If this is indeed legit and the album does sound like the earlier albums, it sounds like it could well be an Adamdude wet dream

“Comatose” - "a very fast song mixed with a touch of insanity and recklessness that has already characterized some of Pearl Jam’s compositions at the beginning of their career" - perhaps another STBC?

Oh, and let's hope "Eddie Vedder recovers his agressive tone" means he puts as much effort into this album as he does with his live performances.

Interesting read, and thanks again for posting

If this is true, holy crap. I'm practicly jumping up and down in my seat. I may have a wet dream tonight with Adamdude in it for christs sake.

As much as I love their later work there is an epic sweep, grandeur, intensity, and sense of importance that the later works can only hint at. It's about fucking time gentlemen!

thanks for posting

Signature quality if I ever saw it.

If this review is accurate, wow.

If this is true, then THANK GOD. I was worried the whole album was going to be rockers, and I'm glad it's going to have a few slower songs on it.

I'm excited, now let's get some official news.

This is very exciting news, if true. I was dreaming of a blend of Ten and Vs. with a splash, just a tiny splash of the new stuff.
Wow.

Ok, now I'm officially excited about this album.

It's going to suck waiting outside on May 1st if it's coming out the same day as Tool's album. I'll be getting both for sure.

That's pretty cool.

Tool? I think I'd go Pearl Jam over Tool any day of the week, just my opinion.

I don't know ... the whole "looking forward to the new AC/DC" makes me question their credibility.

Well, I would too, but if they're both coming out the same day, there's going to be a lot of people waiting.

Tool is really that popular, and good?

AC/DC rocks.
