Pearl Jam

In an era when pop nihilism fulfilled its dark promise all too regularly, Pearl Jam not only survived, but thrived to become one of rock's greatest bands. This 33-track double-disc career retrospective documents the arc of a career that went from arena and radio triumphs in the early 90's (while Nirvana's promise imploded in the wake of hype, Pearl Jam's crowd-pleasing fame only burgeoned) to the uncompromising, core audience-focused tack that carried the band into the 21st century. Shrewdly compiled by the band into an "Up" disc that chronicles the band's driving, Stone Gossard-Mike McCready fueled hard rock dramatics (including such early career landmarks as "Jeremy," "Alive" and "Even Flow" alongside more aggressive fare like "Go" and "Spin the Black Circle") and a "Down" side that focuses more on Eddie Vedder's brooding, often dark ballads ("Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town," "Yellow Ledbetter," their unlikely hit cover of the oldie "Last Kiss"), it's a collection that underscores both the band's range and musical integrity. Though centered largely on the band's pre-Vitalogy studio era and containing no new material, longtime producer/collaborator Brendan O'Brien contributes remixes of "Once," "Alive" and "Black" that offer new insights on the familiar, while non-album tracks like "Man of the Hour" and "State of Love and Trust" considerably enhance the overall listening perspective here.

Dark Matter

迈入第四个十年，PearJam是如何做到历久不衰的呢?2022年，艾迪维达十分享受与制作人AndrewWatt合作第三张个人专辑《Earthling》的过程，便向团员分享了这份喜悦，还邀请他们到Watt位于洛杉矶的宅录工作室。大家没有带任何设备或预先写好的素材，只是沉浸于玩音乐的乐趣中，而这次经验再度证明维达对音乐的直觉依然敏锐。正是这种成员间的热烈交流和新鲜制作活力的注入，使得这支资深摇滚乐团至今仍保持旺盛的生命力。
Pearl Jam 只进行了两次录音就完成了第十二张专辑《Dark Matter》，第一次是在Watt的家中，第二次是几个月后在马里布著名的录音室Shangri-La。此辑的风格直接、朴实与2020 年精雕细琢且充满实验性质的《Gigaton》形成鲜明对比。Watt出生于1990年，正值乐团首张专辑《Ten》即将发行之际，从小便听着乐团早期作品成长的他，这次不仅为本作献上了真挚且新颖的吉他演奏，实现了多年来的梦想，更跨越了年代间的差异，以粉丝般的热情为 Pearl Jam带来了不同的视野。
成员们也趁势施展各自的优势与影响力:大气摇滚曲〈Scared OfFear〉开头的宽广音效，让人回想起《Ten》，(Wreckage〉中的抒情民谣调性似是在向摇滚传奇人物Tom Pett致敬，而〈Won'tTell〉演绎了一段中速的魔幻氛围，〈Running〉则重现了典型的庞克摇滚。他们透过创作新曲来让我们回味乐团过往的经典，也在之中流露出油然而生的满足感:维达的歌词展现前所未有的流畅和自由，Matt Cameron的鼓击更加震撼且真实，若细听〈SomethingSpecial〉的第一个和弦，甚至还能发掘老友间的笑声。
