    I was working in BAJA mexico on a dig. It had been a tough week, I think we worked six days straight in the desert winds...and I had a day off.
    I spent it sitting on the beach watching the waves bust against the shore listening to YIELD over and over again. To this day every time I hear a song from this record I am brought back instantly to where I was then.

    This is a classic YIELD memory and a perfect setting to listen to it, and appropo for the albums 10th anniversary!

    If I had to describe Yield in one word...it would be WARM. The album just feels warm.


    Vitalogy is still my favorite...as quircky as it is.

    Low Light is the most beautiful song ever written by anyone ever. Also, when I think of Yield, I think of optimism. It's definitely their most "glass half-full" album.

    Yield was also a turning point in Pearl Jam's vision and tone of their songs...as someone said before, they became more comfortable with themselves and their ability to express different things...so many lyrics point to this..."The whole world will be different soon/The whole world will be relieved," "It's funny when things change so much, it's all state of mind," "I'll find my way from wrong, what's real/Your dream I see," "Let the rain wash away all those yesterdays."

    To me, it's the last of the classic albums...Ten right thru Yield were great, front to back.

    Also, Ed's voice was still in peak form here...it sounded different on each song and added so much. I don't get that feeling anymore.
