I’ve been trying to find past interviews or something to figure out what they actually called this album when talking about it, can’t seem to find anything Trying to settle a debate here with a few buddies. I can’t imagine they referred to it as avocado or something. Anyone have any ideas or interviews to share?

    "the brickwalled one"

    "supoerunowned"

    (I bet they have fallen into calling it avocado too). I still don't get why it was selftitled...

    I always assumed it was ST because wasn't it their first album on their own label and not with Sony? SO they named it Pearl Jam. Never heard that confirmed anywhere, was just always my assumption.

    Sounds reasonable.

    Eddie has specifically called it the "no-titled" album.  The thinking behind that was the amount of lyrical content added to the songs (he compared it to 3D chess) made him believe one more title would border on pretension.  In another instance, he has referred to the record as "Nothing" by Pearl Jam, for the reason listed above.  
    Other members have mentioned it as "self-titled", however.

    I thought I heard Stone refer to it as “avocado” on PJ radio.

    The official band website calls it "Pearl Jam".
