Pearl Jam
The first time I listened to the new Pearl Jam album a few days ago I wasn't sold. The second time I was. I've probably listened to it over thirty times now. There's not a single standout song but they're all really good (except for maybe Parachutes which is taking me a bit longer). If you haven't already, and have been a Pearl Jam fan in the past, you really should get it.
On a related note, it seems they're actually trying to market this album this time and the band is out making a ton of appearances. The best I've seen so far is the show at the Ed Sullivan theater (Dave Letterman) where they even played some tracks off of Ten: Why Go? and Porch. The AOL Sessions were also pretty good.
