[M]any of the Seattle grunge bands from the 1990s have come and gone, but not Pearl Jam. With total album sales of 60 million, Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Matt Cameron are not just one of the most successful bands of their era, they are one of the most successful acts of all-time. A new studio album is due out in 2008, and you can bet that a Pearl Jam concert tour will follow. It’s been a while since the last major Pearl Jam tour, so Pearl Jam concert tickets are going to go fast. If you want them, GoTickets.com can get them for you.

If its debut album 15 years ago made Pearl Jam apprehensive with success, the Seattle quintet better buckle in for a return to eminence. On its eighth studio release--and first since 2002--the band socks away the adventurous experimentation that dogged some of its most recent records to investigate a post-September 11, war-ravaged world overflowing with urgency and significance. "It's the same everyday in a hell manmade/What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?" lead singer Eddie Vedder wonders in "World Wide Suicide," one of several contemptuous rants on the Bush administration. Yet the album's spark is more than political. Songs like "Life Wasted," "Comatose" and "Big Wave" embrace the garage-rock past, as guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard play off each other with the primal lucidity of a decade ago and drummer Matt Cameron, one of rock's best, adds raw backing vocals to Vedder's polished craft.

After years of silence (if you don't count the five jillion live albums) the anticipation generated by a new Pearl Jam record says a lot about the band's stature. Despite their long absence, they still remain one of the most widely-respected bands. And with good reason. On their new disc, Pearl Jam definitely bristles with an energy that has been missing for years. The anger and pure volume doesn't let up for the first four songs, and when Eddie finally does sit down to sing ("Parachutes"), it's a revelation and quite a departure from their usual ballad style.
