March 2, 200620 yr Pearl Jam announced Wednesday that it will release its eighth studio album - and first since 2002 - in early May. The self-titled CD is also its first release on its new label, J Records. The album's first single, World Wide Suicide, will be made available to radio stations March 8, and the same day the song will be available as a free download from the band's website, www.pearljam.com. Tour dates in support of Pearl Jam will be announced later this month, the band said in a news release. Pearl Jam was formed in 1991 and rose to prominence during the Northwest's early 1990s grunge movement. The Seattle band has sold nearly 60 million albums worldwide. http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/2006/03/01/1468677-ap.html Woot.
March 2, 200620 yr I'm really guilty of not giving their albums a fair shot in recent years. I was as big a Pearl Jam fan as anyone in their early days. But their albums seemed to tail off through the years, although there were still some good individual songs. I'll give this one a try.
March 2, 200620 yr Their last album, Riot Act, was a piece of garbage. But I am looking forward to hearing their new stuff.
