I heard a few other tracks on Youtube and I was pleased with all of them. I actually liked that avocado album and Riot Act as well. The first time I heard fixxer, it was weird because it is kind of a happy song for them...but it grows on you in a major way. Interested to see what the rest sounds like!

The last album was actually back up to their standards as well. I think this unsigned thing actually has the band reinvigorated. All I've heard off of the Backspacer is the Fixer and it rocks!

I gotta be honest, its been a long time since I heard a radio DJ say, 'I've got some new Pearl Jam' and I actually enjoyed the next five minutes or didn't simply change the station.

This lead track "The Fixer" actually has me enjoying Gearl Jam again for the first time in, I guess ten years, no pun intended.

Vedder's voice seems alive for the first time in years, and they're instrumentation has a beat new but old, I can't put my finger on it. All hail the returning Pearl Jam to their former presence? To be rated another time...
