“Unemployable” by Pearl Jam

"Unemployable" is on Pearl Jam's self-titled eighth album, the 2006 record that ended a gap of almost four years since Riot Act and turned out to be their only release on J Records. Matt Cameron and Mike McCready wrote the music, and Eddie Vedder wrote the words and sings them, while Cameron also plays drums, percussion and guitar, Stone Gossard and Vedder add guitars and Jeff Ament holds down the bass. Kenneth "Boom" Gaspar chips in organ and piano, with Gary Westlake on organ as well.

The band produced it with Adam Kasper, who also recorded and mixed it. The album, begun at Studio X in Seattle in November 2004, was greeted as the band getting back to basics, heavy on fast, aggressive songs whose lyrics mostly speak through characters caught up in the politics of the day.
