A Mature and Amazing album, that still rocks!

Review Score:

(10/10)
When i first got this cd i was amazed by the artwork. Everything in the world paralized, except my eyes drifting through each line of printed cardboard, and recycled paper. The photos were awsome, the doodles were great, and the lyrics were poems.
When i listened to this cd i was full of joy and gladness. "Breakerfall" Rocks!!!! It is the continuation of one of Pete Townshends songs. If you listen it has the same chords and format, but its still awsome.
Here are a few things that make this CD great.
1. An Electronic chorus on breakerfall
2. Strings on Parting ways
3. Ukulele on soon forget
4. The piano arrangements in Rival
5. Grievance
With Binaural Pearl Jam have managed to defy music and prove that their style goes far beyond the limitations of rock, grunge,alternative etc. This cd comes out as:
1.A mature recording where criticism is not important anymore.
2. The end of the Ticketmaster trials angover
3. A creative success where the band plays in beautiful harmony
4. the exploration of the band memeber's search for stability.
All in all this is probably the best sounding and most coherent record Pearl Jam has made, yet it still comes out as third on my list of Pearl Jam studio records.
The production is simply brilliant. And the Binaural recording style does give the record a whole new feel.
the songs are powerfull and deep without loosing their simplicity. In the songs you will find a 70's rock edge style that sound like the Pearl Jam everybody loves.
I love this record and i will never get tired of it.
