In 2009, Pearl Jam emerged from the alt-rock trenches with Backspacer—their leanest, sunniest album in years. Produced by Brendan O’Brien, it’s a 36-minute shot of adrenaline: "The Fixer"’s power-pop crunch, "Got Some"’s garage-rock snarl, and "Just Breathe"’s acoustic tenderness showcase a band unshackled from grunge’s ghosts. Vedder’s lyrics flirt with hope ("Amongst the Waves") instead of angst, while Matt Cameron’s drums punch like a prizefighter. Released independently (a first since their early days), it debuted at #1—proof that after two decades, Pearl Jam could still outrun nostalgia. Not a comeback, but a declaration: Rock’s old guard could age without rusting.
