Pearl Jam Is So Aggressive About New Album
November 15, 2005 08:11:50It feels so great to have something new in your life. Pearl Jam also is feeling the same way right now as they are going to release their new album. They're so excited or maybe aggressive about their new studio set, which is due next spring via J Records.
As the band's frontman Eddie Vedder said last week during a Brazilian radio interview, "It's easily the best stuff we've done but also some of the hardest stuff. It's very aggressive, because, again, it's kind of a product of what it's like to be an American these days."
