Just listened to ST from front to back 3 times in a row for the 1st time in at least 2 years. HOLEY TOLEDO! Do you know what bands would give to make an album like that today?! Andf it's not even a top 5 Pearl Jam album IMHO.
I'm so grateful (and proud) that I picked this band as my chauffeurs through life. They have made my world a better place to live. That's all anyone can ask of 5 dudes who have no knowledge of their (my) existence.
I love how music plays the role of a time machine. This album came at a crucial time for me. My love life, my career, my self search ... ect. From Life Wasted to Inside Job ... it's a journey through truth, justice and the PJ way. Avocado has really stood the test of time for me.
Life Wasted
WWS
Comatose
Severed Hand
Marker in the sand
Parachutes
Unemployable
Big Wave
Gone
Wasted Reprise
Army Reserve
Come Back
Inside Job
We are the luckiest fans in the world!

2010 WATCH IT GO TO FIRE!!
Right on, man!
It's weird, I'm almost afraid of playing full albums these day's. Reliving the emotional jouney is tough sometimes.

I think almost every PJ album has aged really well. I think one could argue against Ten and Vs b/c the overall sound, but they're so full of great songs they attain a timeless quality. Backspacer was instantly accessible, but the lack of depth, musically and lyrically, has made it easy to wear on.
I relate to that 100%. Happened to me totally unexpectedly with Nada Surf's The Weight is a Gift. A band i had never heard of except for (crappy) song, and that album really grabbed me and spoke to me about loss, relationships, maturing, and letting go. I should probably listen to it again right now actually....
i wish a PJ album would hit me that hard again...No Code was the last one to hit me as a united whole of an album, for me personally. I love Yield and all of the rest after, but none of 'em have been life-changing (tho many of the songs alone are...)
cheers
This!
It's the last studio cd that I actually will play along side live boots only.

can't help but play it loud. its completely brickwalled. good tunes though!
Amazing passion! I Love it! and might I just add, that Inside Job might be my all-time favorite closer of any album that they have. I love Release, but I love it as a stand alone song, Inside Job is just an amazing way to end such a flawless album as Avocado...if that makes any sense haha. I also really love All Those Yesterdays from Yield, that's a great closer too
Definitely a rockin album. I wish they would play it in its entirety at shows!
Sir Mike McCready is....THE MASTER!!! WAHHH!!!

I smiled at that description too.
I need to put on S/T soon - its been too long..
Hey there, Sen!
Ha ha ... could you imagine any of the boys with a suit, tie and that little drivers cap on?!
The term just seemed to fit what I wanted to convey at that moment. I also might have had two 24oz Coors lights in me.
Dude, that is a FUNNY thought! I can see Stone all nervous and not speaking at ALL and using a Thomas Guide instead of a gps!
and HI!!! Need to message you, lost your digits when I got a new phone :shock:

Stone AND Eddie would so use a Thomas guide.
Yeah, hit me up. 2005-06', is when we began to communicate. So, it ties in well with this thread.
Wow! Pearl Jam albums or all albums?
How about just hoping that you personally enjoy the new album more than you did the ones of the last ten years?
I personally absolutely LOVE Binaural, Riot Act, and Avocado a lot, and think that every PJ album is uniquely and noticeably 'Pearl Jam'.... whatever the fuck that means.
Oh, and no. Not liking some music doesn't make you an asshole.
If you have a way to play this through speakers (not pc speakers) the Ed Sullivan theater show is awesome.
The band sounds SO tight and the avocado songs all sound awesome. Love marker in the sand, severed hand.. I love all of them. I've been listening to this over the last few days.
This is a great way to hear avocado.. It's a live show but sounds like they are jamming In the studio.
Can't reccomend this enough...
