Attention Dimension is the first solo
studio album by drummer
Jack Irons. It was released on September 7, 2004, through Breaching Whale.
Overview
Irons started creating his first pieces of drum music in 1994, but it was not until fall 1999, about a year after he left
Pearl Jam, that he seriously began recording himself for a possible solo album, taking time out to record a new
Eleven album, which the band released in 2003. Attention Dimension includes collaborations from friends and former bandmates like
Alain Johannes,
Natasha Shneider,
Flea,
Eddie Vedder,
Stone Gossard,
Jeff Ament, and
Les Claypool. Vedder contributed vocals to a cover of
Pink Floyd's "
Shine On You Crazy Diamond". The album was produced by Irons. The album was mixed by Johannes and
Adam Kasper. Johnny Loftus of
Allmusic said, "There's no frontman hooting here, no lead guitar prima donna drama. Instead, Attention Dimension is the drummer's chance to be in the bright white klieg light. Give him a chance, will ya?"[1]
