    This is my favorite along with Avocado. I saw them for the first time in 1995 (Golden Gate Park). I thought that Jack Irons was unbelievable and really gave them more of a true rock band sound and feel. I listen to No Code all the time. Classic.

    Love this album!!! It's always in a battle with YIELD as to be the top PJ album.
    but lately, N.C. is winning! :)

    I really didn't 'get' No Code when it first came out, probably cos it was so different from Vitology which I loved......but when I finally rediscovered it after a few years (I know YEARS! - *hangs head in shame :o* ) I couldn't believe what i'd been missing. Now its one of my favourites :)

    the best of the best IMO, slightly edging YIELD. I remember buying this the day it came out and loving it from the first play. Sometimes, Hail, Hail, Who U R, IMT, Smile, Off he goes...............that is a way to start an album.

    No Code is my favorite album. Dont get me wrong, Matt is AWESOME, but Jack brought something cool to the band...

    Actually, I don't have a favorite album, but No Code is one of my more frequently listened to albums.

    Yeah, the epicness of No Code has just started to sink in. :D

    I think No Code was designed that way, not to reveal it's true genius and masterpiece all at once but rather a slow process sometimes taking years to fully appreciate how fuckin good it really is

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It is my favorite of the albums.

    It just shows that you rock! Sometimes hit me like a bag of bricks the first time. Hail Hail still kicks me in the face. But Who You Are is the one that drew ME in. The flowing rhythm, the harmony in the music. Then the bass comes sliding in. All I could think was WOW!

    It drives me crazy to try to give them an order of significance, though. They all have good points and have touched me in different ways at various times in my life.

    Present Tense is just beautiful and Smile makes me do just that :D

    I genuinely dont think that Pj have released a duff album yet, the closest being Riot Act, we all have favourites but Ten, V's, Vitalogy, Yield, No Code, advocado and Pearl Jam mare all top notch in their own way.

    I'm maybe biased, but I really think we could drool over all of them all day long.

    My fave,, still ten. A masterpiece, and a true 5 star album. Its hard to think of a proper 5 star album from the last 3 years or so......and I mean like Ten, like master of puppets, like Automatic for the people, the debut RATM record, throwing copper......I'm talking records that drip with qualityb there isnt a track to skip. Sadly as records have gotton longer they have lacked the consistancy, just my opinion, when things were on vinyl and time was limited records were often awesome.

    and I am aware that the 5 star records I mention were all in the era of the compact disc before you start!!!

    It was just a point on quality and how its not anywhere near the consistency of say a 35 minute beatles record. Some bands seem to put so many fillers out theses days that are just utter shit
