that's what I thought when I read the first paragraph but reading further, its main point is that PJ has gone in a bunch of different directions over the past 25 years because they are influenced by a bunch of different types of music. I think that's true.
I've noticed this type of writing more and more, where someone shits all over something, only to come back w/ compliments, but never really outweighs the negative.

yea I've seen that too. Some people might not get past that negative part. And being that everyone wants everything fast and quick nowadays. They might not want to read a long article.
The first signs that Pearl Jam were establishing their own voice came by
way of “State of Love and Trust,” a song the band gave to Cameron Crowe
for the soundtrack to his movie Singles. It balanced the angsty
chorus primed for alt-rock radio with the classic rock riffing that
Gossard and guitarist Mike McCready so freely gave themselves to.
Anyone that still refers to this music as "grunge" doesn't deserve to tell you how to dive into Pearl Jam. I'd also like to punch this guy for continually suggesting throughout the beginning of the article that Pearl Jam pleayed second fiddle. They're the ONLY band out of the early 90's "Seattle Sound" that survived this whole fucking time. No breakup, no sabbatical, no dysfunction, no deceased. Albeit a line of drummers (though for only the first 7 of their now 28 years in existence), but how is that being #2 or second place or whatever this dumbass keeps saying?
Gotta agree with Michael... Chock-full of negativity covered up with come-back compliments that just don't add up to a positive article. Seemed like the article was an assigment for this guy and he doesn't really like Pearl Jam or know much about them and was rather reluctant to learn beyond his predetermined view.
