I love Vitalogy. Always have, always will. Aye anf foxymop are great in my opinion. The bass in Aye hits extremely hard and the bass line in foxy mop is just plain sick. Half a bottle of tequila and a hit of some good trip makes foxy mop a spiritual experience. Wait....those make everything a deeply spiritual experience. Love it!

Loved it from the first note I heard. That's why I call it GORGEOUS BEAST.
ps: anybody who knows me, is well aware of the fact that TC is my homeboy.

The album "Ed put together" must've been No Code. I've read an interview where he said the album would've been better if it had been more of a band effort. IMHO Vitalogy is a BAND record. Songs were made during the VS. tour, @ soundchecks etc. and most of the songs were tested in front of a live audience well before they were commercially released.

I agree, Vitalogy gets a bad rap. As far as Ed's voice and the guitar sound it's the rawest i've ever heard them sound on a record.

Too bad I Got Id and Long Road couldn't have been recorded just a year or so earlier and made it on the record. Personally they would have been a great substitute for the filler crap like Foxy Mop Handle...blah, blah and Pry To. I could do without Bugs although at least it's more of a "traditional formatted" song.

Anyway, cheers!

how does it get a bad rap? i'm pretty sure it was critically praised when it came out and even people who don't listen to pearl jam like the songs corduroy and better man.
i agree, i got id and long road would have sounded amazing on it.

In SVT Ed says something to the effect of "it was the third record, I was playing a bunch of songs on guitar myself, but now its a collective effort, everybody with their hammers and claws..."

Third record is Vitalogy. However, I agree that No Code is also an at least in part an Ed arrangement... the main point of evidence is right on the album packaging... "album concept Jerome Turner"

I used to put my Vitalogy tape in my walkman and listen to it while running... even still the album always infuses me with energy.

Vitalogy was critically praised... Spin The Black Circle won a grammy.

I remember being SO excited when I heard that follow up to Vitalogy was coming out...I bought merkinball and was waiting for something similar...but after all No Code didn't do it for me....But oh yeah, come fall 1997 and I found songs from the upcoming new PJ LP ("Faithfull" and "Given To Fly") from internet (can you believe it?!...first time for me) I was all thumbs up. And yep. Yield is awesome!!!
