im sure this has been discussed but im starting to lean towards no code.
personally think they could have been a double disc cause i get the same feel listening to both albums..
really splitting hairs here but thats what this board is for right?

    yield. the real trouble is when you ask yield or binaural
    "Ah, life is a gate, a way, a path to Paradise anyway, why not live for fun and joy and love or some sort of girl by a fireside, why not go to your desire and LAUGH..."

    I am going to have to say No Code for now. Who knows a few months from now it may be Yield.
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    i gotta go with No Code here... my favorite PJ album.... the most diverse, in my opinion (hard to argue when you put "Habit" and "Around the Bend" up next to each other.... very very different tunes!!!) i really really love so many of the tunes on this album. Yield is great, don't get me wrong.... but No Code made me feel proud to be a fan of the band...

    i was glad that at the time the album was poorly received..... considering how many albums Britney sells, it reassured me that Pearl Jam made music for music-lovers, not music-video lovers.... if that makes any sense.

    plus..... c'mon.... Present Tense. seriously. sooooo awesome!!!!!!

    As a whole album, I prefer Yield, though No Code has a couple more songs that I would consistently put in my top 10 PJ songs.

    It's so hard for me to rank all of PJ's albums. The first 6 albums are ridiculously good, and No Code-Binaural the genius is so readily apparent.

    Riot Act is pretty solid too, but it seemed to lack some energy, and it didn't seem to have the musical depth of the other albums. I know they were going for something immediate, and I like pretty well every tune on their, it took seeing pretty well the whole album live to really start diggin it.

    I think S/T was a step in the right direction. There was some new sounds and it had a makeup similar to Ten-Binaural.

    I'd rank Binaural dead last of all PJ albums.

    Yield takes the cake over No Code. Both great albums though.

    I was pondering doing this as a poll recently. They seem to be the albums that most of the diehards forget... it's where the casual fans disappeared and the devoted were convinced to join up for the long haul.

    I vote No Code.

    I can't think of a better run any band has had than PJ's run from Vs-Binaural. Maybe Rubber Soul-Abbey Road.

    I totally agree with your point, soulsinging.... No Code was definitely one where the "casual" fan gave up, which I think makes it great... it really felt like they were putting the songs on there they wanted to, and if people didn't like it, there was always Creed.

    Us diehards, on the other hand, recognized that the genius behind their music knew no boundries with this album... we realized that they could rock in the same old fashion, but the mellower songs on No Code made us see a whole new side to PJ...

    This is incredibly hard. I love how different and inventive No Code is, totally love it but.............
    I think Yield just pips it for me. It's just......I don't know..........It just makes me smile :D
    In Pearl Jam we trust!

    No Code was the first album I heard after Ten and i was blown away at how dynamic of a record it was but still had an overall tone. I assumed all other PJ records were this good and and wasn't disappointed only by Binaural and Vs. Since then I have grown to love all PJ albums but No Code, Ten, Bianaural, and Vs. will always stand on top. :)

    No Code! Yield is OK but No Code is better :)
    In addition, I hate Wishlist.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    No Code hands down.

    I love Yield, but No Code is just a step above.

    Just checking in as a member of Team Yield. FFS, we have our own Yield Night!

    No Code is my second favorite though. But Yield is just too special for me, will always be at the top.

    P.S. Wishlist is better than Dissident and Bugs or any of the oddities on Vitalogy. ;)

    well said. Yield and Binaural are so great it's hard to pick one of those two. I give Yield a sleight nod over Binaural and an easy victory over No Code.
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
