Pearl Jam - Spin the Black Circle

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that I'm not a particular fan of Pearl Jam. Nothing against them, I'm sure they're talented musicians and nice guys, but they're just not my cup of tea. Still, when they're playing what sounds like a vintage '83 skatepunk record (with a singer who can actually carry a tune) paying tribute to the greatness of vinyl records and smothering the whole thing in shrieking feedback, I can't help but feel that they're trying to break into the lucrative Chris Oliver market.
