Uncut review:

"Like a grunge version of A Christmas Carol, 2009 has seen Pearl Jam be visited by a ghost of an album past. Instead of rattling chains and terrible foretellings of misfortunes to come, however, the handsome reissue of Ten sees instead to have pointed to a positive way forward for the band. Perhaps some aspects of the album - the big shorts, the hays, the heavy metal production - needed to be left behind. Others - the energy, the agenda-free simplicity of a band making its first album - seemed to warrant a revisit. After all, wasn't it these that got them where they are today?
Backspacer, Pearl Jam's ninth album, is a record that would seem to bear out some of these ideas - resulting in what you might called a meticulously contrived spontaneity. A bright, breezy and at 36 minutes, refreshingly short album, it's a collection that shoots for, and often attains, a kind of sonic innocence. Much as, say, R.E.M. attempted to do with last year's Accelerate, Backspacer is a spirited attempt to find the kind of energy that accompanied the band's earliest days, when the musicians played without baggage or expectation. Don't think of us as the stadium-filling rock filling rock band of conscience, or writers of such impressive ballads as Given To Fly, it says. Underneath it all, after all, we're just a band. Whether you buy into that idea completely or not, certainly, the best feature of the album is the charming naivety it creates. Rather than the raw thrashing that announced the arrival of Vitalogy - also produced by Brendan O'Brien, and an earlier example of the musical self medication on display here - this seems to hark back to an idealized new wave, nostalgic look back, perhaps, to some of the band's formative, late 70s pop memories. A track like Got Some meanwhile, connects the band with the kind of primal, Blue Oyster Cult branded guitar soloing that the younger and hairier Pearl Jam would use to fill every vacant space on their debut. Sketchy it may be at times, but the intention seems to blow away the accumulated cobwebs of 15 years well-intentioned, high level, rock music.
Undoubtedly the opening of the LP does just that, the sequence of four tracks from opener 'Gonna See My Friend' to 'Johnny Guitar', via enjoyable single 'The Fixer' all delivered in a fraction over 10 minutes. What happens next, though, is probably a more honest to God reflection of how things truly are in the house of Pearl Jam. 'Just breathe', a touching ballad, with stirring strings, finds an emotional Vedder effectively counting his lucky stars, and pondering mortality. The mid-paced 'Amongst the Waves', meanwhile, finds this emotional surfer contemplating his lot: 'Remember back, the early days/When you were young/Suddenly the channel changed'. To be honest, it's more of these contemplative, forty-something man with a young family-type songs you'd imagine Pearl Jam to be writing right now. As it is, the achievement of Backspacer is to satisfactorily accommodate them alongside what sounds as if it's otherwise been a refreshing valeting of their upholstery - one they've managed to perform without, say, the giveaway signs of going to Morocco, or employing Brian Eno.
Certainly, no-one in their right mind would listen to this LP and think Pearl jam were the bratty punk-pop band that at times they attempt to be here, but those tracks (more, like 'Supersonic', follow later) dovetail well with the general mood of reflection on display elsewhere. This, they seem to be saying, is as much about taking stock of who we were then, as much as where we are now. As good as the band performances are here, as with R.E.M., Pearl Jam rely a lot on the
singer's delivery to elevate them into something spectacular. Lyrically, the faster songs here function better as a mood-establishing collection than as actual songs. But the commitment that Vedder brings to all this material, from the rowdiest thrashing to the schmaltziest ballad makes this feel like a unified and ultimately convincing project. Back a space, maybe, but forward two."

Spin Magazine review:

Headline : Alive Again, Naturally (Ed Ved and Crew crank up the carpe diem to 11)

Conventional wisdom marks 2006's Pearl Jam as the grunge outfits reignition point after years without a spark. If that's true, then the first three songs on their ninth full-length are the explosion at the end of an extremely long fuse. The band hasn't put together a trifecta this energized and from the gut in a decade, and though the rest of Backspacer doesn't match that opening salvo, it has terrific time trying.

"Gonna See My Friend", "Got Some" , and "the Fixer" nearly upend each other after rushing out the gate, exploiting Pearl Jam's leanest, punkest tendencies. And those traits carry through the albums 36 minutes. No time to waste and Obama in the White House mean no political bellyaching, so when Eddie Vedder pulls out that indignant yet inclusive snarl and proclaims "When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again", you can probably assume "it" is his bands mojo.

Even the requisite restrained ballads feel renewed: "the End" finds Vedder channeling Cat Stevens, backed by a string and brass ensamble. Then there's the towering anthem "Amongt the Waves", which could bring "Alive" fans back to the fold. It even expands on that song's theme, moving from grudging survival to jubilant exuberance ("I've put away my early grave"). For the first time in years, Pearl Jam are seizing the moment rather than wallowing in it. JOSH MODELL

Q Magazine - 4/5

Grunge’s last men standing lighten up, rock out.
Even within Seattle’s none-more-bleak grunge scene, Eddie Vedder was always considered an overly intense young man. So to hear him yelping, “I need to hear it, need to feel it loud” like a young Gene Simmons on the bar-band boogie of Supersonic on the quintet’s ninth album is something. Backspacer has its introspective moments – Just Breathe could sit on Vedder’s folksy Into The Wild soundtrack – but it’s largely characterised by joyous new wave-influenced rock’n’roll, and for the first time in their 19-year career, Pearl Jam actually sound – whisper it – fun. No, honestly. PAUL BRANNIGAN.

Suggested downloads: Got Some, Just Breathe and Amongst The Waves(also in Q’s top fifty songs to listen to this month).

How to use a ninth life wisely...

"Neil Young taught us dignity," said singer Eddie Vedder, discussing the veteran American rocker's influence on Pearl Jam. The group's ninth album is proof that down the years the Seattle five-piece have learnt their lessons well. While the reissue of their 1991 debut earlier this year reminded fans of their initial impact, Backspacer - wrapped in a warm Brendan O'Brien production - has more in common with REM and Tom Petty than its melodramatic grunge ancestry. The heroic tracks (opener Gonna See My Friend, Supersonic, Johnny Guitar) capture Pearl Jam in pure classic rock mode, but it's Vedder's more considered moments that win the day. Just Breathe (acoustic mysticism and pump organ reverie), Amongst The Waves (anthemic, yet lithe) and The End (a reflective final bow) make this one of Pearl Jam's most satisfying albums. Listen without prejudice.

Lyrically, Backspacer displays a more positive outlook than the band's last few albums. Vedder credited the election of President Barack Obama as inspiration for the optimistic lyrics. Regarding the lyrics, Vedder said, "I've tried, over the years, to be hopeful in the lyrics, and I think that's going to be easier now." Gossard stated, "We've made a couple of political and pointed records, the last two in particular, and just to move away from that is great, because it allows you to go back to that when you need to and it refreshes everybody, and it comes down to a beat and a melody and your friends and a lyric and a poem and something that's important to you."

Vedder called "Gonna See My Friend" a "drug song," but elaborated that the song is about going to see a friend to stay off drugs, and he stated that "Got Some" is about a "drug dealer," but added that the drug the dealer is selling is actually a great rock song. Vedder was inspired to write the lyrics for "Johnny Guitar" after viewing a collage of album covers that is pasted on the bathroom wall of the band's rehearsal space. He noticed the album cover for Johnny "Guitar" Watson's 1979 album, What the Hell Is This?, and imagined a man who becomes attracted to one of the various women on the cover and then wonders why this woman would rather be one of Watson's many girlfriends instead of his only one. Vedder described "Just Breathe" as "as close to a love song as we've ever gotten," and said that the subject of the song is the happiest times of people's lives when they should just take in the moment and "breathe for a minute." He also said that "Unthought Known" concerns the human psyche, and "Supersonic" is about the love for music. According to Vedder, "Speed of Sound" is a song taken from the perspective of a man who is still sitting in a bar after everyone else has left, but he added that even though the song is sad it became more "confident" when played with the whole band. "The End" has been described as an "aching love song

cocasse cet article en italien sur un forum francophone

[Olikatie]

tu as raison, merci pour la traduction

[nighthawk]

j'espère bientôt

en même temps, l'album sort dans moins de trois semaines... on va réussir à tenir le coup, non ?

[Olikatie]

Bien sûr qu'on peut tenir le coup mais je suis toujours très intéressé par un leak en attendant

[yoyo]

en tous cas, toutes les critiques semblent plutot bonne pour l'instant !!! cool !!!

[strummer]

depuis quand on tient compte des critiques ?

[yoyo]

depuis quand on tient compte des critiques ?

au bout d'un certains nombres, moi depuis toujours ...

[Hub.]

Certainement pas des Inrocks, en tout cas.

les amoureux authentiques du plus raffiné des songwriters anglais seront moins chagrinés par le film de Ledger que par la présence en ce magasin de porcelaine du pachyderme Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), dont on attend la reprise avec autant d’impatience que la prochaine guerre nucléaire.

Quel connard.

[Denis]

et il est pas encore sorti, ce disque, en plus. J'aimerais bien entendre Eddie reprendre Nick Drake... Sinon, les critiques, faut pas leur faire confiance, ce ne sont jamais que des musiciens frustrés

[strummer]

je préfère un album qui me plaise et qu'est démonté par toute la critique plutôt qu 'un truc consensuel salué par tous et qui me branche pas un cul, je lis jamais les critiques de toute façon, l'avis des gens sur l'art en général, que je ne connais pas, je m'en bats la race

[yoyo]

je préfère un album qui me plaise et qu'est démonté par toute la critique plutôt qu 'un truc consensuel salué par tous et qui me branche pas un cul, ...

Bah oui, ça c'est sûre ... mais je pense qu'au bout d'un certains nombre de critique positives ou négatives ... il y a de fortes chances que l'album le soit ... mais ce n'est pas une science exact, et je ne vais pas foncer tête baissée et dire que c'est bon parce que c'est soi disant bon ... c'est sûre que le meilleur critique c'est soi même ... enfin bon pour l'instant je n’ai pas l'album, alors je peux me permettre que de fantasmer !
