I'll no longer sit idly by and abide this opinion-bashing culture we've cultivated here. It burns my soul. You all need God's love.

It was only missing 4 magical words to get me fully pumped:
A RETURN TO FORM
Best since Vitalogy

Extracted the text from this one and used Google Translate to get this:
With Andrew Watt, Pearl Jam finds its way back to its old strengths
The twelfth first Pearl Song Jam studio album has a title that your fans can probably immediately understand: "Scared Of Fear" There was a bit of fear recently when a new work was announced: Will Is it just a decent rehash of the old great deeds again? That was the case with "L_ightning Bolt" (2013) and "Gigaton" (2020), although there were always good to very good songs. But the last consistently great album was " Yield" (1998). Even "Dark Matter" doesn't measure up. Maybe that would be too much to expect in the 34th year. Pearl Jam supposedly only spent three weeks in the Shangri-La Studios in Malibu with Andrew Watt, then the eleven songs were finished. Why they next Watt nor Josh Kling hoper, remains their secret. "Five guitarists are better than three" sounds a bit like Spinal Tap, but luckily Pearl Jam never come across as that wide-legged. Watt, who has recently produced practically everything from Miley Cyrus to the Stones (and Eddie Vedder's "Earthling"), creates a powerful, beautifully unswampy sound for them. After the solid start, they sing a heavy grooving song with "React, Respond". Paean to impulse control. This time the melodies are bigger, the arrangements and execution more sophisticated, but here, as especially with the more delicate pieces, "Wreckage" or "Won't Tell", the singer is always the clear star of the show. Of course he has a lot to complain about again: "Visited by thoughts/ And not just in the night/ That I no longer give a fuck/ Who is wrong and who's right." This is about a love, but it's certainly accurate towards the desolate present. "Running" sounds like a lot of anger, "Got To Give" like a last desperate gasp in the hope of community. Nevertheless, overall it doesn't get that dark The title song is initially reminiscent of Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You", which can only be a joy. In "Upper Hand" Vedder sings: "I hope the people are smiling/ And I hope that today and every day is great." At least they are Pearl Jam. The last words: "Let us not fade."

i had to stop reading that classic rock review, I always have a hard time when a journalist (?) keeps putting fucking scott weiland in the grunge bag, yet manages to omit mark arm or buzzo. Mudhoney is quite possibly the epitome "grunge" band now, they keep releasing solid records and yet they still get no recognition.
oh, and since he likes to list dead guys maybe he could have included andrew wood too.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

Does this deserve it's on thread??
Here's a new review (Classic Rock Magazine). Let's share all we can find in the coming weeks.
Thanks for sharing!
The first paragraph’s mention of Eddie being the last man standing from the original Seattle grunge scene has me wondering about the lyric in Got To Give “I’ll be the last one standing”
Also, the writer seems to think Running is nonsensical and literally about plumbing.
