Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that sounds very "90s grunge".
@atzanteol @caos I like the song. But I have to listen to it more often. I always find the comparison with the 90s PJ inappropriate, it's a band with an incredible evolution since then. I'd hate it if it still sounded the same. It wouldn't work, considering everything #PearlJam have experienced and lived since then.
Oh I'm not saying it's bad because it doesn't sound like their old stuff. I'm just disageeing with the article's description. I'd expect them to have changed over the years.
@stbc thank you for saying that!
Iāve avoided PJ fans online for years because of all the insistence on everything equating to Ten, or nothing measuring up. I donāt fit the factions.
Ten was awesome and I still love it. Also love how evolved and relevant Gigaton was. Everything in between - Theyāve never put out a record I didnāt like as a whole record, though I might find one track or another reaches me a bit more (and which tracks can be a mood thing). Very few artists like that, for me.
In my defense I was not criticizing the song. I was responding to the quote in the title about this sounding like a return to their "90s grungy" sound.
@atzanteol Oh, sorry - I DID understand that! Was just continuing the dialogue.
Iām an āinvisibleā fan whoās been nuts for the music since ā¦ uh, well, since Temple of the Dog? Which would have been when when (most of) PJ was first heard on alt-rock radio in my University town. Ten was the soundtrack to my 2nd year.
Iāve only paid attention to āfanā stuff since the pandemic, though and find it kinda funny to read a 30 year old āmusic journalistā either crowing or complaining about āgrungeā.
@Johannab True.
They have not only transformed themselves from a role model for the misunderstood youth of the 90s, but have also created their own hype and survived it as individuals and as a band. I don't even want to talk about tragic events like the one in Roskilde.
