How exactly can we judge whether or not to buy the album based on this? Is this meant to be a critical review or an opinion piece?

At the very least it should be attempted. It's disrespectful to the other bands who come under intense criticism, track-by-track or what have ya. Paul doesn't mention a single song, anything technical in the production, any new developments in the sound or return to old styles. It's what, almost 20 years since Ten? How has Eddie's voice changed, how have the band avoided the disaster zone of Binaural? If it was just an editorial or anecdotal article then that's fine but if most other records on these boards take a fair bashing then this one should too, past glory or not.

You're asking the impossible. You just need to hear and determine your own thoughts. Sometimes music is meant to be enjoyed and not explained. Personally, this record hits me in all the right places too, but I couldn't begin to tell you why. I wouldn't call it mindblowing, but it's great rock and roll by my favorite band. I'm over the top in love with Backspacer but a bullet-pointed explanation is just dumb to someone who hasn't heard it. Nay,

Maybe you like them a lot but it's not enough to just bluff past all the other albums with a mark of infinite brilliance. If you think it's really, really that good, I wanna know why. Cos I am SKINT AS FUCK and I *loved* Ten, so I wanna hear this, but first I wanna know why I should spend €20 on a CD. Seriously if you're gonna rank it so highly, get forensic and tell us what's so mindblowing in each song, what we've never heard or longed to hear again.

And are you saying that without the 'slightest hint of effort', Pearl Jam have recorded one of the greatest albums of all time? Yowza.
