I'd compare them to Animal Collective harmoniously computing complex math problems with Trent Reznor as their professor.

Name sounds somewhat familiar, but I don't know them. I guess I should look them up.

Pearl Jam - Backspacer

Overall, I think that's a great review. I really like the album as well. I might even say it is their best since Yield and a lot of similarities
Any good? That new song by them being used on ESPN is decent.

Fantastic record. First three songs are good rockers. 5th song is a good slow song, somewhat similar to the solo stuff EV did on that movie soundtrack, but better. 6 & 7 sound like outtakes from Yield. 8 (Supersonic) is a fantastic upbeat number. 9 and 10 are decent and 11 is solid. Best record since Binaural. They sound somewhat at ease and in a groove for this record. I did not like Riot Act. The Avacado record was a nice comeback off that, and this record takes it up a notch from there and all sounds right again with Pearl Jam.
