Pearl Jam Announces New Album, Debuts 'Mind Your Manners'

YouTube is quickly becoming Pearl Jam's (and Pearl Jam fans') best friend. The band dropped a couple bombs (in video form) on the video-sharing site today when the countdown clock on the band's website hit 00:00:00:00.

With the gaggle of digital goose eggs came word of Pearl Jam's 10th studio album, Lightning Bolt, which will drop via Monkeywrench Records on Oct. 15. Produced by Brendan O’Brien, the new album will mark the group’s first studio album since 2009's Backspacer. The record is available for pre-order on iTunes and Pearl Jam's site — so is an album trailer (below).
