"Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder has admitted that he imposed a half an hour time limit on writing lyrics for the band&amp;#039;s latest album.  The singer revealed that the technique had been inspired by his bandmates, who wrote sections of the group&amp;#039;s new record Backspacer without him. &amp;quot;What they did do, is put a lot of work into it,&amp;quot; Vedder told Radio 1. &amp;quot;The musical ideas were presented a lot closer to song form.&amp;quot;  The singer stated that this allowed him to &amp;quot;throw a vocal on [the songs], and a meaning to them immediately&amp;quot;.  He added: &amp;quot;Having written for a number of years, a number of records and a number of different reasons, I just can&amp;#039;t handle taking more than half an hour.  &amp;quot;If it&amp;#039;s not gonna happen quick then I don&amp;#039;t wanna do it, because it means there&amp;#039;s another one out there that is gonna happen quick, and is gonna hit you like a lightning bolt.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
