Pearl Jam album cover revealed, and sweet pre-order deal
So, wow, one of the best things about being a music blogger is that people representing PEARL JAM (who, as you all know are probably my favorite band) send me stuff regarding the new album! I am so excited, this is fab. Here is the cover of the new album. Why is there an avocado? Jury’s still out on that one. But they are a fabulous source of healthy fats in your diet.
A few related tidbits that I’ve found:
- World Wide Suicide debuted on Billboard Modern Rock Audience Chart at number 1 and number 3 overall on the format’s chart. Check out this Billboard article. Go boys!
- There is a sweet pre-order deal goin on right now at the pearljam.com site. If you pre-order the album you get a free DVD of their epic 1992 New Year’s Eve show at The Academy in New York (opening for Keith Richards and the X-Pensive Winos). Read the SPIN article here about the show, and download the audio file of Wash from that same show (and read more about it). Sah-weet! For $14 bucks you can’t miss.
- Rolling Stone recently had a listen of the album and offered up some more tantalizing details about the music: “The title, Pearl Jam, reflects the group’s most collaborative effort yet: It produced the album together, along with Adam Kasper; each member will receive writing credits; and, for the first time ever, guitarist Mike McCready contributes lyrics, to the album closer ‘Inside Job.’ Gossard’s two musical pieces, ‘Parachutes,’ an island-flavored beauty with acoustic guitars, a Wurlitzer, and shifting time signatures, and ‘Life Wasted,’ which features a bridge reminiscent of Pink Floyd, are among twelve or thirteen tracks that made the final cut.”

I love PJ, but the last three records were really just a trudging out of the same stuff. If this record sounds “different” that would be a huge step forward for me. And, on a side note I cannot believe that Alice in Chains is touring!?

Avocado is full of monounsaturated fatty acids ie “The good fats”. When eaten, these fats can actually help to reduce cholesterol by helping to remove the rubbish ie “bad fats”. Is PJ album the “good fat”…..I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.
