Music reviews of Binaural
Music Review: Good album from a great band
Rating: 4 Stars
This isn't Pearl Jam's best, but I still love this record. They have produced perhaps their best mix of power and atmosphere since Vitalogy, and this work really accentuates what the band is so good at: taking a simple dynamic (picture the riff of Tremor Christ, or the accented beat of gods' dice, found here) and weaving a subtle and complex platform around it. It's like riding a wave, taking that visible part of the song and letting it take you somewhere, while the rest of the band is the force below, just driving the wave along.
Not every song here is fantasic... I found Evacuation somewhat forgettable, but there are plenty of gems(gods' dice, of the girl, rival, grievance and more.) Beautiful rock music, nothing more or less. This album, and Pearl Jam in general, is the sound of driving down the highway with the stereo cranked. It's the soundtrack to personal freedom.
Description of Binaural
Pearl Jam lowered its profile after becoming a worldwide musical phenomenon in the early '90s, pulling back from the touring, radio, and press fronts. And this diverse 13-song outing, lacking another "Alive" or "Better Man," isn't the album to thrust Pearl Jam back into the limelight. Binaural kicks out the jams with a grandiosity worthy of the Who, as Pearl Jam roars through the loose, raucous two-minute-plus opener "Breakerfall" and into another brief rave-up, "God's Dice." Quickly, though, the loud MC5-style guitar outpourings that begin PJ's seventh album (and first to feature former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron) morph into the edgy, taut "Evacuation" and the midtempo "Light Years." The spare, mournful "Nothing as It Seems" (with lyrics and music by bassist Jeff Ament), "Thin Air," and the lilting "Parting Ways" all reflect romantic introspection. Eddie Vedder's poignant ukulele-accompanied "Soon Forget" is an affecting aside, and the rollicking "Insignificance" and Middle Eastern-tinged "Of the Girl" are all noteworthy. That's a strong lineup, but Binaural nevertheless falls short of the heights this talented group scaled in the past. --Katherine TurmanGeneral CDs
