Pearl Jam lowered its profile after becoming a worldwide musical phenomenon in the early ’90s, pulling back from the touring, radio, and press fronts. And this diverse 13-song outing, lacking another “Alive” or “Better Man,” isn’t the album to thrust Pearl Jam back into the limelight. Binaural kicks out the jams with a grandiosity worthy of the Who, as Pearl Jam roars through the loose, raucous two-minute-plus opener “Breakerfall” and into another brief rave-up, “God’s Dice….

This has to be the most boring album of all time. Right up there with Yield, Riot Act and No Code. I don’t know what it’s going to take for this band to finally call it quits. They have no talent and their lead singer just mumbles into the microphone — you can’t understand a word he’s saying.
If you’re looking for a fresh sound, you can’t go wrong with a band like Creed. They’re talented and they have passion for their work — not like these washed up has-beens. Pearl Jam has no real talent. Warning: this album is horrible. Listen to the song previews and you’ll agree with me.

This album SUCKS!
I have listened to it Stoned, Sober, Drunk, Drunk & Stoned, Sober & on a Fast.
It Sucks.
The Kings have No Clothes.
Wake Up!

Once and for all, Pearl Jam has proven that they have lost the edge and anger that made them a phenomenon in the alternative music world in the early 90’s? It seems as if they haven’t been able to put together a solid album since Vitalogy (even that was less than spectacular) and this new album is further proof of their slide. Binaural is 13 songs that are nothing more than variations of the lollipop hit “Last Kiss”. Where are Eddie’s electric vocals that were a beacon for listeners on tracks such as “Alive”, “Jeremy” and “Rearviewmirror”. Some may say this is the evolution of a band, but I say no, this is the unraveling of what was once the best band on the scene. If I could give this CD less than 1 star, I would….

This is without a doubt one of the most depressing albums of all time. I also seem to notice that there’s no direction to this album either. I have to wonder if this was the group’s way of protesting against thier label, or if they wanted to keep up with the new alternative bands as far as using the machines to keep modern, and if there was just nothing new to write about as the songs were weak, and so are Vedder’s vocals. I have to ask the group’s mental state at the time they recorded this; were they depressed, were they angry? Did they even care thinking that nothing was going to change for the better? This sounds like someone doing this like it’s a chore, and not what they want to do. If this is true I want them to know I was depressed in 2000 also. I know I had the best thing happening to me as I was engaged, but at the same time I felt like I was dying because I was struggling spiritually, I was working more hours, and at a place where they make work a chore, and not a pleasure. I’m still there, but am working to get out. I wouldn’t have played this six years ago, but I felt like I had to because it’s hounded me all this time, and now I want to set this free as it’s been a hard last 8 years, and now it’s time to free the depression the hurt, and the shame. This wasn’t too bad, but it’s below par for PJ.
