Given Backspacer a listen - first pearl jam I've heard since Dark Matter. I wondered if Dark Matter would change how I think about it. Still a great album, but it certainly feels a bit more sedate. You can feel the livewire energy in the Dark Matter performances is missing. It would have really helped blow up a few of these songs, which I've always really liked (or loved) but feel like they are editing themselves
they were, they wanted to cut out a lot of what they did in ST right? a more direct and pop album. Its been a while since i listened to it and after DM i dont really want to, specially because i really dont like what Brendan did with the production and mix.
I truly believe part of this is due to keeping the integrity of demo ideas and essentially polishing turds that had the potential to be diamonds if they could have just been fucked with a bit.
yeah, im not sure really what happened, specially with the mix. But i do think, specially because the band talked about it, that his presence looms over LB a bit more, telling the band were to cut o what to do. Thats more his album i guess. And sounds awful.
Backspacer at least have the songs, and its different from the previous ones.
