    No, it's actually kind of weak. But I really love "Comatose" and a few others.

    I do LIKE it, but I don't see the obsession some people have with it. Don't get me wrong, it is still a good album.

    Word. It really is a true showcase and undeniable proof that Pearl Jam is stronger than ever.

    "Pearl Jam" is so great. Not my favorite PJ album, but a close contender. I love the energy and determination that the band has on this album. Every song is a must listen...its definitely worthy of the name Pearl Jam. And that post talking about "Gone" being the worst PJ song is obviously delusional.

    It's better than Riot act and maybe Binaural, but i wouldn't say it's the best. Honestly i can't tell which one is the greatest for me... but surely not "Ten"

    also...i like thinking of "pearl jam" as sort of tracing PJ's career...let me explain:

    Ten-VS-Vitalogy = Hard Rocking (LW, WWS, Comatose, SH)

    No Code-Yield = More mixed between mellow and rocking (MITS, Parachutes, Big Wave, Gone)

    Binaural-Riot Act = More experimental (LW Reprise, AR)

    Last Kiss = Retro sounding (Come Back has that vibe)

    Inside Job= New Sound for the band...the future?

    Im a loser for typing this all out. But does Pearl Jam = "Pearl Jam?"

    Just a thought.

    It's a great album for sure, one my favorite albums of this decade, but it isn't as good as Ten for sure. Ten is in my top 10 favorite of all time
    My god its been so long, never dreamed we'd return.

    it's a great half an album.
    after parachutes it falls apart.
    there's no theme to this album.
    no togetherness.
    it's like they busted their humps and came up with 6 great tracks then were too tired to finish the album. 7,8,9,10,12,13=b-sides
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    I think you're right, Pearl Jam the album really speaks for itself

    Couldnt disagree with you more on Inside Job. It is an unbelievably epic song and the perfect closer to the album. It truly is my #1 PJ song.

    I think its their worst, I like all the songs.. But i think i have too many 06 boots and overplayed many of them.


    But my order o' albums for first to last is very different from most


    Riot Act
    Binaural
    Vitalogy
    No Code
    Vs
    Yield
    Ten
    Pearl Jam


    I hate putting yield so low..

    Wow, to me it seems like the album doesn't even start to come together til parachutes... after that it really gets going. Vs, No Code, and Yield are still better IMO.
    Minneapolis 98, Chicago 00, San Fransisco 00, Fargo 03, Thunder Bay 05, St Paul 06 (night 2), Chicago 08 (EV) both nights

    Don't it make you smile?

    Good album. The first half of the album and Army Reserve are the only songs I really dig.

    Self titled is a damn good album. Its probably my 3rd fav behind yield and nocode. I like the mikes heavy guitar on the album.. That was what had been lacking on Riot Act and Binaural.
