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.

    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 )

    Yield by far. I know I'm in the minority here, but No Code is just kinda..meh for me.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.
