...since their last studio album and 72 live albums later, Pearl Jam is back with its seventh studio album, Riot Act. Going on 40 now, these dogs are not very interested in new tricks and so much the better for all concerned. Riot Act plays to all of Pearl Jam??s strengths, in particular Ed Vedder’s majestic voice, which goes from leonine rumble on the lead single “I Am Mine” to vulpine howl on “Save You.” Matt Cameron, the longest standing drummer Pearl...

...Baldwins are proud to display the rampant eclecticism that is widely accepted as the hallmark of talent. They wind between genres with sinuous ease, never entirely shedding the lithe upright bass lines and high-hat/scratch duels that are their signature sound. “The Bionic Jam?? verges on techno, with its driving samples and “Better, faster, stronger/ We have the technology” sloganeering.

...could be any van ride with a bunch of Harvard students. Up front a couple guys are debating the merits of different types of urinals, while in the back the question is whether or not to nickname some guy Bruce. Jam??n 94.5 dominates the stereo.
