WOOOOOOO! *Pearl Jam album news*

Quote:
Pearl Jam Ready Harder CD

Guitarist McCready calls new songs "hard-rocking," with nods to punk and the Who!

"It's a classic Pearl Jam record -- it's got the excitement of Vs. to it," guitarist Mike McCready says of the new CD his band has spent the past eight months recording in Seattle. "There's some powerful singing, and the music is pretty hard-rocking."

Produced by Adam Casper (Soundgarden), the follow-up to 2002's Riot Act will be the band's first for J Records. "It's really freeing to be on a new label," McCready says. "It feels like a brand new relationship and their excitement makes us feel confident about it."

Pearl Jam -- McCready, singer Eddie Vedder, guitarist Stone Gossard, bassist Jeff Ament and drummer Matt Cameron -- have eight songs in the can so far. McCready is especially psyched about "Severed Hand," a "heavy rocker" written by Gossard and "Worldwide Suicide," penned by Vedder. "['Worldwide'] is very punky and Who-ish," Gossard says. "It'll catch your attention."

Other tentative songs include "Marker," "Cold Concession" and "2x4."

"We all came up with different songs for ourselves," McCready says. "We came in, edited and kicked out ideas. Ed's been a hardcore workhorse, experimenting with intense, layered vocals. It's hard-edge with some pop feel."

The band, currently on a North American tour, will head back into the studio to finish the still-untitled disc in October, and hopes to have it in stores early next year. Meanwhile, Pearl Jam will offer fans digital downloads of their live shows at PearlJam.com, beginning with their September 1st concert in George, Washington.

I had already heard the majority of those song names, but its still really awesome to see whats coming up.

I do find it odd that they chose a Metallica song title for one of their songs. Not that this has never happened in musical history before or anything. 2x4 just doesn't sound like the kind of title that would get repeated.

But I have to be excited with the comparison to Vs. If I had to choose my favorites, Vs. would probably be a close second to Yield. My favorite changes all the time though.

The fact that this is supposedly going to be sounding Who-ish makes it that much orgasmworthy.
