(probably will be reprimanded for this one) But the new album sucks period! It is as if the entire band came out of the closet to announce they're all gay! I miss the jams, I miss the almost psych rock, and most of all I miss the reverb. This album reminds me of the village people or something that gay! I think JJ has let the critics get to him. The Radiohead comparison possibly was the downfall to this band, Urges sounds as if the band is trying too hard to be too "one of a kind". it works for radiohead but this album reaks of gayness!

thanks for your input veddarhoon and welcome to the board! and thanks for steering clear of any homophobic references! your post is spot on! hopefully we'll get more posts like yours in the future b/c one thing this board is surely missing is objectivity! old timers like me will pretty much like anything MMJ puts out, but I believe fresh faces like yours will allow me to really put some perspective on what the new direction is all aobut!

thanks! and keep those posts coming!  we love it! we love you!  :)

Hahahaha ;D ;D ;D

So?

 i fucking love Evil Urges and cannot wait to listen to it on vinyl (the way both bob ludwig and jim suggest).

When/where did they suggest that? Something in the CD booklet?

it was in the newest issue of Rolling Stone...the guy that mixed the album said it sounds better on vinyl.

Vedderhoon-  you gotta watch your mouth.  People here will hold missteps against you.  Also, you should probably give it a few more listens.  you may not be ready for the metamorphisis.  I say this because your title consists of 2 bands that really haven't been on top for 15 years.  

Embrace the change.

Shut your mouth.

Love, shocka

This is a little ridiculous don't you think?  Everyone posts on here how much they love the album, then the dude does have the right to post why he does not like the album.  We may not all agree with him (I clearly don't) but he has the right t osay his piece without being ripped apart.  It is a little bit different for the Jacket... me personally I don't get Highly Suspicious... but I commend the band for not being stagnant and trying new things... and pretty much all of it works.  The album to me is fantastic.  But if this guy doesn't like it, then he should have the right to express why he doesn't like it, just like we express why we love it.
And seriously, saying Pearl Jam is not a band that has been on top for 15 years?  You couldn't be more wrong with that statement.

[shockadow]

Dude, Pearl Jam hasn't been important since grunge ended and Shannon Hoon has been dead since the 90's.  Additionally, i never bashed the guy. I guided him.  
His opinion is also one of his 1st 2 posts and because of this, he doesn't hold alot of validity.
I could care less about the gay bashing.  I've got pretty thick skin.
He should listen to me.  I have a knack for pissing people off.

What was the last good Pearl Jam album?  Animal?  Vitology?

The last good album?  It was their last self-titled one... and Riot Act before that was incredible as well.  And if they weren't important they wouldnt be headlining festivals like Bonnaroo and selling out MSG shows in seconds and playing a benefit for a good cause at the Beacon Theater which also sold out in minutes.  Come on dude now you just sound foolish about PJ.
We do at least agree that the Jacket album is great.  Come on lighten up today's a good day!

[shockadow]

AGREED!!!  Today is FANTASTIC.  You probably don't dig alot of my favorite music and that's cool too.As far as Pearl Jam goes, your points are correct and I am wrong.   You can't headline the best festival and sell out MSG without being current.  My buddy, Orsyn, and I debate this all the time.  he usually wins.  

I retract my Pearl Jam statements.


Evil Urges Day 2008!!!!

Evil Urges Day 2008!!!!

Hey man you never know... my tastes are about as diverse as it gets!  One thing is for sure... there is no other band I listen to more these days then the Jacket.  Hell I just renamed my Fantasy Baseball team Evil Urges!!!  People from my league started emailing me asking what the hell that means?  I just said Evil Urges baby, they're just part of the human way!
They didn't get it... lol.   ;D

I agree their self titled one from 06' is brilliant....they are currently working on another one and gonna test some new material at Bonnaroo.........I personally love Vitalogy and No Code........PJ is a great band but this thread and website is devoted to MMJ.........and this is their day!

Agreed and well said!  It is ripping me apart that I don't have a ticket for the Radio City show!!!! :'(

[blueskyink]

I'm gonna have to agree with PJ still being relevant, their last album (S/T) was one of their best.  Just because they are a grunge band from the 90's doesn't mean they are not relevant now, especially since they are one of the few bands out there pushing for change in the environment, helping out people by putting on benefits and still making excellent music.

And Melon will always be relevant to me, but thats not true to everyone, your right he did die in 95 and since then have faded out of the limelight but No Rain still gets love from just about everyone.

[Jaimoe]

I don't have the album yet and haven't heard any of the songs in studio save for "I'm Amazed", but I liked what I head when I saw MMJ do Evil Urges cuts live, and in that context, the new stuff works extremely well.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Sorry, Meg. Apparently I'm gay.

I still love you. :-*

I own 20+ of their live CDs all of their studio albums and have seen them over 10 times........Pearl Jam that is..........monumental band no doubt..........however the last 2 times I have seen them they have put on very lackluster performances and have lost a little of their edge live imo..........still love them but one is quietly retreating to immortality and the other has really just begun imo..........hard to compare the two really in my book as a crazed fan of both.........i do however think your posts are angst ridden and juvenial. 8-)
