PEARL JAM TO FINISH NEW ALBUM EARLY NEXT YEAR

By: 28 September 2012 25 Comments

Thanks to Ben Chapman for letting me know about this.

The new issue of Rolling Stone has a blurb about Pearl Jam’s next album with some quotes from Jeff Ament. The band plan to finish the new album in early 2013, Ament had this to say about the sound of the album compared to Backspacer, “Hopefully the next thing is something more out there. I think we’re about due for some songs that are way outside of where our comfort level is.”

    Why is it taking longer than expected? Because Vedder is too busy planning his wedding to his favorite boy toy tool Theo Epstein. They finally decided to come out of the closet and make their relationship known to the world, shedding off all the pretentiousness and hypocrisy that they’ve been staging to the public. They were spotted together in Europe during Vedder’s last tour and were secretly hobnobbing at the Obama fundraiser in Tampa. Yes, Eddie Vedder is actually homosexual.

    Hoping Pearl Jam will pull one out of their hats, but after hearing Ole, I have little hopes for the album.

  • lol said:

    Ole, I have little hopes for the album.

    TRUTH, I am discouraged “OLE” MUSIC SHIT, BUT LAST HOPE IS TO DIE, THAT COME FAST THE NEW ALBUM in 2013.

  • lol said:

    is missing attitude and more rock n roll album in the PJ. I hope this is cd in 2013. Backspacer album and avocado = Fail :(

  • John said:

    Thats great news. Its time they step outside the box for once. Hell, incorporate some electronic stuff for all I care, just do it right. Backspacer was a polished pop turd. It had some great songs, but it was toooooo poppy. Johnny guitar sort of stepped on a different sound, but not quite. (and thats thanks to matt, the most creative one in the group)

    Stone’s quote on Binaural is so true and they should embrace that type of completely unique sound for them to put EV’s amazing vocals to. I loved Backspacer but am ready for them to expand it similar to Binuaral in that sense.

    I heard it will only available at Kmart with the purchase of a hotdog & drink.

  • John said:

    Fuck you, ‘be’ aka ‘lol’. You don’t even like Pearl Jam anymore, and when you did you only liked them for Ten.

    Eddie is God!

  • BlownUpWorld said:

    Finish the album in early 2013 then go through another 9-12 months of post-production & random delays, so we’re talking what … mid-2014 before the next album is released? Slackers.

    Can’t wait to hear the new album! Unlike others, I enjoyed both Avocado and Backspacer a lot. Best records since Yield. I hope Pearl Jam deliver another promising effort.

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    Pearl Jam and Soundgarden have shown so far, they want to make rock music outside their comfort zone, so what does that really mean?? STOP MAKING FAST PUNKY ANGRY GRUNGE ROCK ALBUMS?? PJ, the magic to your success lies in your roots ok ?? GET BACK TO GRUNGE, BRING BACK THE OLD SOUNDS OF EVENFLOW, SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE, HAIL HAIL, AND SO MANY MORE CLASSIC PEARL JAM SONGS

    I hope Pearl Jam does a slightly more raw punk like 1970s sound on their next album. If only Soundgarden would of done that with King Animal from hearing Been Away For Too Long :)
