Pearl Jam - Binaural [2000]
This album more than met my expectations…Although it may be a fruitless effort to compare pearl jam albums with one another, I can’t understand why people have such negative things to say about Binaural. The tracks on this album individually show more development than those on any other album. Just because there isn’t a song that sounds like Even Flow or Alive, does that make it a bad album? Does that make it "fall short"? What other comments have I heard? "Not fun"..what are you talking about? If any album isn’t fun, it’s Ten (not much variation between songs and very little risk was taken). "The songs don’t stick in my head"..isn’t that kindof a good thing? The less developed a song is, the easier it will stick in your head. Example: Green Day -vs- Soundgarden. 3-chord junk songs versus actual skill. Give the album a few more listens. In addition, if the songs don’t stick in your head, then they will age well as a consequence. You won’t get tired of them as easily as you would "Jeremy."
