Maybe the addition of a new drummer, former Soundgarden member Matt Cameron, has kicked the band to life, but that unfairly dismisses Jack Irons’ worthy contributions.
#PEARL JAM ALBUMS BINAURAL CODE#
This should come as no surprise, since that’s what they’ve done since No Code and, perhaps, Vitalogy, but the real surprise about their sixth studio album Binaural is that it finds the group roaring back to life without dramatically changing the direction they followed on No Code and Yield. Not surprisingly, they chose to persevere, ignoring trends, completely in favor of being a classicist rock band. No peers, and too sincere to even consider fitting into a pop scene dominated by ‘N Sync on one side and Limp Bizkit on the other. They were the only one of their old grunge colleagues still standing intact, and they were genuinely alone. Even with “Last Kiss,” their first big hit single since Ten, under their belts, they were an anomaly on the pop and rock scenes. If anything, Pearl Jam was even more in the wilderness – at least as far as the mainstream was concerned – at the beginning of 2000 than they were in the second half of the ’90s. The album received positive reviews, and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. The music on the record featured an experimental sound, evident on songs that used binaural recording techniques.
During the production of the album, the band encountered hindrances such as singer Eddie Vedder’s writer’s block, and guitarist Mike McCready’s entrance into rehabilitation due to an addiction to prescription drugs.
