#PEARL JAM ALBUMS RANKER HOW TO#

We were still trying to figure out how to work in a studio.

On a purely sonic level, I think we underachieved on that record, because we didnвЂ™t know what we were doing. Last place is Sing The Greys, our first album.ДЄn album has two very distinct sides to it, those being what you actually think about the album now, and what it felt like when you were making it. Weirdly, the reasons for the bottom two are quite similar. There are five, and the one right in the middle really canвЂ™t be anywhere else. Scott Hutchison: The top two and the bottom two were the hardest.

Noisey: YouвЂ™re starting at the very beginning, which isnвЂ™t too surprising. He starts where fans might expect, but ends somewhere they probably wonвЂ™t. That makes this the perfect time for Hutchison to take a look back at his main bandвЂ™s catalog with a fond-but-critical eye. The Mastersystem project almost feels like a palate cleanser for the next Frightened Rabbit era, which theyвЂ™re already at work on. The drum sound on this record is straight-up stolen from In Utero.вЂќ This was an opportunity to attempt something a little bit meaner. I envy and admire any artist whoвЂ™s got that kind of swagger, because I just donвЂ™t have it, naturally. For me to mention people like Iggy Pop and Nick Cave-youвЂ™re not going to hear that on there, but this is me doing a fairly rubbish, soft-Scottish attempt at that. Making a record is about trying to channel things that you admire and then essentially failing. вЂњItвЂ™s considerably heavier than anything Frightened Rabbit has ever done. вЂњIt was an attempt to move away,вЂќ he continues. Not only a surprise that weвЂ™ve done something, but that it doesnвЂ™t sound like Frightened Rabbit.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s been done since the end of last year,вЂќ says Hutchison, вЂњbut we were very much trying to keep it as a surprise. The bandвЂ™s rollicking debut, Dance Music, just came out. Not long after the Organ Fight shows came surprise news of a Frightened Rabbit side project called Mastersystem, which features Hutchison alongside his brother Grant-also Frightened RabbitsвЂ™ drummer-and the guitarist from Editors.
