    Obviously you don't talk to anyone around here....
    Conversations getting dull
    There's a constant ringing in my ears
    Sense of humor's void and numb
    And I'm bored to tears.......

    Nah, mostly everyone here loves No Code. Its kinda like "your not a true fan unless you like No Code." Which isn't true but you get my point. I happen to like Yield more.

    I didn't mean people here hate No Code.
    I am talking about people I talk to like friends and fellow music lovers.

    sorry. i seriously thought you were fucking with us.

    to your question, no, here No Code is the the old testament and Yield is the new testament of the PJ bible ! lol

    those seem to be the two albums that EVERYONE loves.

    its everything that came out after Yield that is up for debate.

    i love NC and Yield, but as it stands right now Avacado is what i listen to the most. i think someday it will be held in the same regards as NC and Yield. but i could be wrong ;)

    anyway, welcome to the board.

    have fun.
    Peace, Love.

    No Code is one of my favorite vinyls to play. Played it the other night as a matter of fact.

    lol good point.
    The people I speak to rate No Code poorly in terms of its lyrics.
    I beg to differ, the lyrics are brilliant.

    No Code was way ahead of it's time. Much like the great bands before them...it showed real growth and it was a creative departure from what they had done up until then...it was a true mark of how talented these guys are.

    Did the people who you talked to say this, "Pearl Jam's No Code sucks, I would much rather listen to Creed's Weathered"?

    I'll see those people in HELL!!!

    Back when it was released I remember a lot of people hating it. Pearl Jam was still a pretty big deal commercially, and when "Who You Are" hit the radio everybody was like "wtf." That along with several other songs from the album broke new ground for the band, and it didn't have the appeal that the other records did to the casual listener. Subsequently the band has become less and less popular.

    Mind you, none of these things matter. I just know a lot of people my age who were turned off to PJ with the release of this album. I, however, loved it from day one. When I first heard "Present Tense" and "Red Mosquito" I said they were some of the best songs they had written to date. And I still think that
    I am lost, I'm no guide. But I'm by your side...

    All that matters is that you like it.
    To me it is the perfect album, a variety of different styles and sounds.
