I’m really not impressed with this Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Elizabethtown) directed music video. But then again very rarely will I enjoy a music video that just shows the band performing the tune. On the other hand, I am really enjoying this song. It’s the first single off of Pearl Jam’s 9th studio effort, Backspacer, which just came out about two weeks ago. I’ve yet to hear the rest of the album, but I really enjoy the energy and feel of this song. It’s very “fun” and that isn’t something that I would’ve thought that Pearl Jam could pull off. Let me know what you think.
