So, I have my hopes up for PJ's new self titled disc. They actually have something to prove again. Both Riot Act and Binaural had some amazing songs, moments & experiments, but neither were particularly cohesive. It was live where those albums really took off. Not since 1998's "Yield" have they had a record that matched the intensity of their live shows.
The first single, "World Wide Suicide" is a departure for PJ who seem to like to release introspective/difficult first singles to radio. An up-tempo churning number, WWS is a return to form and wouldn't sound out of place on "VS" or "Vitalogy". Vedder gets political again, but it works much better this time than the bloated rant that "Bushleaguer" was from 2003's "Riot Act".
They are letting everyone download the song free for the next couple of days here:
