Pearl Jam: stream 'Lightning Bolt' in advance, via iTunes

Pearl Jam's new album, "Lightning Bolt", is due out in a week - on October 15 via Monkeywrench/Republic. But, if you can't resist and want to listen to it right now, iTunes is streaming the whole album in advance: just click HERE and enjoy.

"Backspacer"'s follow-up was recorded with the help of Pearl Jam's long-time collaborator Brendan O’Brien - who worked with them for the whole long and troubled process (the session started more than two years ago, but had to be stopped for a long time due to other commitments).
"We finished seven songs two years ago and we had to take some time to figure out what we wanted to do. And write some more songs. So about four months ago we started up again with a brand new batch of songs to go along with those", explained guitarist Mike McCready. "I think getting away from them and taking the time to do it, and discussing with (Brendan), having many meetings between ourselves about these things, yet keeping it fresh while we were recording it. I think it’s helped".
