Pearl Jam: Lightning Bolt
"Still flying the flag for independence of thought and movement while
stoically avoiding getting bogged down in the music-biz bullshit that
so plainly jars with their earnest motives, Pearl Jam
have always been admirable, even when their music has fallen some way
short of exciting. Pleasingly, Lightning Bolt finds the Seattle quintet
in a more bullish and spiky mood than usual, as exemplified by the
furious, spittle-spraying punk rush of Mind Your Manners. On the similarly urgent My Father's Son, they pull off the neat trick of sounding like Fugazi and UFO at the same time, as Eddie Vedder
delivers one of his most intense performances to date. ... A few ponderous moments aside, this is
a sturdy return to great form" (Dom Lawson, "Review," Guardian, 10/10/13).
