Yield or No Code?

Which Jack Irons era album is better. Each arguably is their best album.

For me it's like pulling teeth, but I give the slim edge to Yield.

    don't get me wrong, i love Yield. it's in my top 3 for sure. but i love the vibe on No Code. the songs are so different & i think that it really shows all sides of the band. for some reason, i just really connected with that album from the first listen.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Really tough choice, but for me it No Code. The first time I heard songs like In My Tree, Smile and Present Tense I almost passed out. :lol:

    No Code... a close 2nd is Yield for me... In My Tree, Smile & Present Tense on one album... can't say much more.

    No Code...easy.

    Yield barely makes the top 5. ;)

    I did make mine 16 minutes before he made his though. ;)

    It's one and two for me. The power of Given to Fly is undeniable. Although Yield has no song that compares to Present Tense, but you could make that same argument for Wishlist (Which I seem to be the only person on this board to actually take an interest that song :D )

    no code - sometimes - hail hail - lukin = game over

    Yield by far. I know I'm in the minority here, but No Code is just kinda..meh for me.
  • Sleep.With.InnocenceSleep.With.Innocence Posts: 607
    You're not a minority. I assure you a lot of people love Yield. :)

    Think the moral of the story here is that Jack Iron's kicked ass!

    wow its actually really hard to say

    though i have been listening to no code alot lately
  • DewieCoxDewieCox Posts: 11,430
    Yield... front to back PJ's best overall album..... combines the rockin PJ with the experimental

    No Code doesn't flow that well, imo. HailHail and Habit stick out like a sore thumb. I don't think they really belong on the album. I

    Yes, No Code and YIELD are like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

    Tough decision for me as well. I give the edge to No Code.

    No Code

    Yield is my favorite album of all time. Followed in this order: No Code, Vitalogy, Vs., Binaural, Ten, Pearl Jam, Riot Act. LO2L was the first PJ cd I ever owned and is the reason I love this band so much!
    Straight down the center for a hot chicken dinner!
  • lukin14lukin14 Posts: 287
    Yield - it flows so well as a whole album. It has been my favorite since it was released, taking the crown from Vs.

    Ironically (maybe?) my favorite song, Present Tense, is from No Code.

    Still going with Yield.

    NO CODE,,,YIELD FOR COVER
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    Yield is a more solid record. It flows better, but what if you could only pick three songs? Then I have to give the edge to No Code.

    In My Tree < Given To Fly
    Present Tense > Do The Evolution
    Off He Goes > In Hiding
  • satansbedsatansbed Posts: 2,139
    today its no code, im just in love with in my tree and present tense at the moment, although if you asked me last year no code would have been way way behind i didnt really rate the album till recently, im not sure why i think i bought a few pearl jam albums at the time and that just kinda got lost in the mix for a while, now id say its tied with pearl jam as my favourite

    for some reason i think backspacer will be up there tho, i just got a feeling in my bones

    No Code takes the cake on this one.

    Yield pour moi. It's their closest thing to a concept album and it deals with concepts that I find appealling. Lryically, I don't think Ed has had a better record.

    Now Lyrically Riot Act is pretty impressive, and it makes a pretty good case with songs like I Am Mine and LBC.

    As far as concept albums nothing comes close to Yield. (Well you might be able to make a slight case for Binaural)
