One of my least favorite in their entire catalog. It really does nothing for me. And I like magicwhoanelly15 said:
Haha. You must have. Only reasonable explanation, really, cause it's magic!HesCalledDyer said:I really, really don't get the mass love for Marker? Did I get a different version of this song than everyone else?

When it came out, and still to this day I think it's the best album they've put out post yield. Love this album. Sure there's a song or two I'm not hugely fond it, but as a whole it's really really good.0

At the Cincy show in 06 it seemed everyone knew every word of the Avocado songs... Not like that for the Lightning Bolt and Riot Act shows I saw. Could have been the Yayo but that felt like the most energetic concert I ever seen. The only time I been apart of that loud/energetic of a crowd was Pantera concerts at Louisville Gardens.0

The Avocado tour was amazing. Everyone was on their feet watching and singing along with the band with their eyes not through a cell phone.
Times have changed with this generation. Unless a band has an immediate #1 out of the gates they are doomed.
What a ride. Thanks Pearl Jam.

Avocado too political. I don't like politics.0

Mike's, Jeff's, and Ed's movement in that Letterman performance makes me want to rock out so hard. Awesome version0

I agree Mignelli14 - loved Mike and Ed in that performance. Magically!0

I can't, for the life of me, figure out, how Parachutes became such an underrated song. It´s clever, it´s melodic, it´s haunting. The melody/chord structures are intelligently written and it has such a nice flow. It´s a winner in my book!

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
I really love many of the songs on this album but I can't ignore the horrendously painful, ear-bleeding inducing production. It's like the mastering was done by a handful of dudes locked in a control-room and weren't allowed to leave until they finished both the album and their keg of I.P.A. It is beyond me how a band as talented as Pearl Jam can put their final stamp of approval on this kind of production. Please remaster this thing!0

I keep reading that, but I think it sounds good. It is definitely mastered loud, but I think it actually really suits this particular album, and am quite happy with how the vinyl sounds.EBowie said:I really love many of the songs on this album but I can't ignore the horrendously painful, ear-bleeding inducing production.

Perhaps it sounds good in certain contexts---like blasting through a boombox while playing beach volleyball or something. It reminds me of Californication---both fantastic albums song-wise that are really hurt by brutal production. Try listening to either of these with quality headphones and see if you make it past the second or third song.PJ_Soul said:

I don't know, lol. I spin it in my living room through a good sound system. Sounds good! And I am reasonably discriminating. I just think the mastering fits the music in this case I guess.EBowie said:

All good. It's just that, for me, I want a balanced mastering job not one that "fits the music". If I want it louder, I can turn up the volume on my stereo, etc. The loudness problem in modern production is very real and well-documented and I just find it a shame that one of PJ's albums fell victim to it.
