I know I’m a little delayed in reacting to Pearl Jam’s debut of “Got Some” from their upcoming album “Backspacer” on Conan O’Brien Monday night.
Maybe I’m delayed because I needed time to think about it, or maybe I’m delayed because I didn’t want to say what I feel I have to.
I’m a huge Pearl Jam supporter, have been for years – but I was not impressed at all with this song and Eddie Vedder’s performance for that matter. The man is 44 years old and sounds like it.
I’ll give him some leeway as he has been on tour supporting his solo work and TV studio’s are not always a flattering place to play. The fan in me wishes he was just having an off night, but the critic in me thinks he should stick to mellow, low tempo songs as clearly his voice cannot handle it anymore.
What do you think?

i couldn't get past the 45 sec mark but i didn't really notice much of a difference from the way he's always sounded. he's never really been a singer though-his strength has always been his growl-but they just seem tired.
ReplyDeletethey've faded into obscurity and it's totally deserved. seems like they've done everything they can together and have no ideas left. oh well, nice career.
Perfect. Just perfect daniel.
