Lyric of the 'Hard Sun' is well written and the music is also good. This song definitely talks about the journey......

"the songs are the combination of the lyric and music. It's good as a whole or it's not." So, you are basically reducing the hard work penned by the musicians down to what ever the song is about? For f*cks sake, there are plenty of killer Pearl Jam jams where the lyrics suck but the music f*cking rocks. Honestly, your statement is a line of shit. Face it, Eddie Vedder can't sing for shit anymore and Pearl Jams music is no longer the electric drenched blues it used to be...Old F*ckin News, Move On!!

Greetings, Eddie Vedder fans! Thank you for bringing to my attention the error in my review, which incorrectly (until corrected by El Bicho) claimed Vedder wrote all the lyrics in the soundrack. In fact, the CD booklet says "All songs written and performed by Eddie Vedder." Of course, the next sentence, which I didn't read, says "Except the following songs..." In any case, I stand by my review, namelly that all the lyrics on the soundtrack pretty much suck el gran culo, with the exception of the following song, Tuolumne, which has no lyrics. And I thank you.

TJ, I will pass on your comments to El Conquistadorko. "What's that have to do with the music Vedder created?" Do you really need it explained? Seems rather obvious. Have you read the book? The author is pointing out where the pretentiousness might have come from. The change of this scene makes Chris look more like a noble figure rather than the tragic fool he really was. Just because you can't separate the music from lyrics doesn't mean others can't.

It seems to me the reviewer just has an axe to grind with Penn and Vedder. Seriously, an entire paragraph about the decision to change a canoe to a kayak? What's that have to do with the music Vedder created? And I don't buy this "album is great, but the lyrics are dreadful" nonsense. You can't separate the two, the songs are the combination of the lyric and music. It's good as a whole or it's not.

El B's dead-on about this one - the music's great, the album is great, but the lyrics are dreadful, and he's exactly right that it doesn't ruin the album as long as you don't pay much attention to them. You then spend five paragraphs trying to talk your way out of it. He doesn't "talk his way out of it," he gave great background about the story, since that was the impetus for the album in the first place - it's kind of nice to know what drove Vedder to do this outside of Pearl Jam, regardless of whether he wrote good lyrics or not. ALL reviews boil down to basically "it's good - buy it" or "it's not good - don't buy it." Don't be silly - you know this. I guess this is pointless - it looks like some of the more sensitive Pearl Jam fans are going to be attacking this one. Sorry, El Bicho. I thought it was a good piece.

Just for your information, Vedder didn't write the lyrics to Society - it was a cover. I think you should get your facts right before writing about him.

brutal review... Ed's lyrics were thoughtful and perfect for the movie....and he didn't write all the songs, hard sun and society are covers...do some research if your going to take the time to review the soundtrack...

It seems your entire review boils down to this one line "Anyways, the music is solid stuff and if you're a fan of Vedder then it's a good buy." You then spend five paragraphs trying to talk your way out of it. Odd.
