This is the album where I almost lost track of Pearl Jam. Who knows why? Maybe it's because it wasn't on MTV like the others (I know lame, but read on). Thank God for my best friend in high school who bought it for me for my 16th birthday and said I know they're your favorite.
It took me a while to get into this album. I think it took me even a few years to go back and truly listen to it. Perhaps I had to mature into it. The lyrics on this album I think are amongst Eddie's best and most poetic and powerful.
everybody has a choice. they can hate it or love it. just leave them alone.
just take a moment, without any anger or hate, just laugh at the fuckers (inside)
no code sucks? they should be drag on the street and shot.
ok .. back to the choice theme ..

i was sorta i the same boat on this one when it came out. i just didn't understand it. i think i had some other expectations in mind when i knew a new PJ album was coming out. for some reason i remember thinking that this seamed like an album that was rushed out for the sake of putting out a new album...i never lost my love for the band, just this album in particular....
it wasn't until after yield had been out for a bit that i reexamined no code and figured out that it was part of their progression as a great rock band. i may have not been ready for the change at the time it was presented to me, but sometimes it takes a little for something new to click the right way.
no code f*ckin rocks
After several hundred concerts spanning nearly twenty years of my life, I've finally been to the best shows of my life. PJ at the Garden 6/24-25/08

Let's go for three in a row, no sorry i can't think of anything thats not funny. - Paul Merton
you are corrected sir. there has only been one song cowritten with an "outsider" on any of their albums, that being Army Reserve YUCK!!!!!! YUCK even mentioning the name of the song makes me vomit horrendously
Can't believe you dont like Army Reserve! What the hell's wrong with that song? I love it, one of my favourite's off the Avocado!
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.
Hey, I like your post - NC being Old Testament and Yield the new, love it! I listen to Avocado the most nowadays, but I love the old and new too. All fantastic albums, PJ hasn't come up with a bad one yet and they never will...
I also lost track of pj when no code came out. Pearl Jam was no longer the Pearl Jam I had grown to love. I remember blaming Neil Young:)
Years passed and I didn't think much about the band until I picked up Live on two legs. That was my ticket back into Pearl Jam.
No Code was something the pj crowd wasn't ready for and it chased millions of fans away. The rest became disciples!
But things have changed in the years since. Our quiet lil secret has grown and I see the fan base has significantly grown in the years since Vitalogy even. Vitalogy was the set up jab for No Code's uppercut to the casual PJ fan, and today there are more and more disciples and WAY less casual fans something that makes PJ that much more special in my heart.
"So forget the other boys because my love is real.
Come off your battlefield."
simply put, no code is a masterpiece...definitely listen to it more than any other PJ album, and my favorite to listen to straight thru, without shuffling the songs

I'd love it a whole lot more if Who You Are wasn't on there! Just can't listen to that song! Think Eddie's trying too hard with the lyrics. Bit cheesy.
Also, sorry Stone, but Mankind! Not doing it for me.
Other than that, it fucking rocks. Hail, Hail, Lukin, Habit, Red Moquito, In My Tree......
Awesome album.
