While that may be less true these days when it's not unsual for artists to spend two or more years on a new record, traditionally sophomore albums haven't always gotten the respect they deserve. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/sophcds.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/sophcds.html?16316 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:42:00 CST Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder plays a show tonight at the Riverside Theater.
