"no code" feeling

lukin10

i was listening to pearl jam the other day and i was wondering if maybe i'm just weird or other people do this also.

i was listening to pearl jam and like i was listening to this a couple songs and all of them i couldn't put my finger on their title at first, but i always got this like feeling like this sounds like it woudl be from no code.

it just seems to me that the songs on no code have this "feeling" to them that some of the others don't like it sets them apart from everything else. its so hard to explain but its weird.

totally agree with you, but i also feel that there is a vitalogy-ness, and binaural-ness, and yield-ness....riot act-ness, ten-ness and vs-ness....



but honestly, i totally get what you mean, but i get it with all of them

i think that each album has its own feel too... i know that listening to lost dogs i tried to guess which albums the songs were cut from when i was listening and i did pretty damn good

Pearl-Fighter

I get this with all albums. every band too, pearl jam, nirvana...etc.

yeah i get it with all of their cd's but the no-code ness seems to be the most apparent.

the next strongest is the riotact-ness

I know where you are coming from.
By the way out of interest Do you or anyone else think thataround the bend is really like a Jim Reeves song? Let me know because I really do.

It's called progression. If every album sounded like the last..PJ would just be another boyband. These men are artists. ARTISTS!

No Code is special! I new straight away that All Night was taken from the No Code sessions.

No Code has an auroa about it! I reckon it is down to Jack Irons.

He gives such great energy to songs and his style of playing was so different to what we had been hearing.

Jack definetly helped create a masterpiece.

BTW check his new solo album out http://www.jackirons.com

Vedder, A Kiedes and Flea from Red H C Peppers all appear on it. As does Stone and another guy who I have forgotten at the moment. Cant wait to hear it. Out mid August I think

i could not agree more! thats why i wanna smack all those people who wanted ten more 'ten's.

i just remember being younger and a girl i was babysitting for asking me who my favorite boy band was... i said 'pearl jam' and she just looked confused :-D

Oh I hear ya lukin10! I also agree that all albums have a feel of their own, but yeah...this No Code feeling is just something else. It digs deep. I like to call it the "Nature album". It really just takes me places like that and puts all these amazing images in my head. The songs all have this earthy, grounding feel to them. They just intoxicate me like the clean, fresh, alive smell of the redwoods on a rainy day. I don't know, the No Code feeling is just definitely one that stands out to me. This album just feels SO damn good.

I agree. I can best the No Code feelings as a feeling of warmth. You feel a very close connection to the music as if you were sitting with some good friends around the camp fire just hanging out, having a good time. It's a great feeling to put No Code in the cd player, press play, and getting reacquainted with an old friend.

yeah..

No Code (comfort) has it most then
Binaural (peaceful darkness)
Vitalogy (confusion)
Ten (anger, confusion, mania)
Riot Act (stuff)
Yield
Vs.

whatever


I think Jack Irons plays a big part in them, but so does matt...he creates a lot of the riot act and binaural sounds...and butchers in my tree, but that's another thing
