Negative Positive
Title: Songs that Go Nowhere
Review: I don't normally write reviews, but I feel giving this album 4 stars is completely out of step. I am simply writing this review to possibly balance the diehards. I am a big Pearl Jam fan, and I really enjoyed Yield. I just didn't feel like there was any direction or drive whatsoever on this album. The songs will build to what is hopefully a dramatic plain, but just don't seem to reach their ultimate destination. Maybe I'm rating this too low, but I expect much, much more out of a Pearl Jam album. It almost seems as if the band recorded this album with other thoughts on their minds, and missed the mark with the music. I see the potential in many of the songs, but that is what is most disappointing about Binaural. It seems as if they had just spent more time preparing themselves for this record, they would have undoubtedly produced a gem, like most of their previous work.
Is the review positive or negative?
