    It came out in winter if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure I was cold in Seattle, that ucky wet chill business, when it came out. Wasn't it in December 1995 or so?

    I was 13 during that winter. I remember getting the cd Christmas day and playing it non stop for months. It literally changed the way I looked at music.

    I'm a nostalgic person anyways, but there isn't a time I hear a Vitalogy song without it bringing me back a little to that time in my life. Love it. My favorite cd ever, bar none.

    I must say that I think Binural is the best Winter music. Also Strangest Tribe.
    I'll be back

    I totally agree. Songs like Nothing As It Seems, Thin Air, and the one that says it all to me... Of The Girl make Binaural a great record to listen to in the Winter time

    My memory of first listening to this album takes me back to the summer holidays!

    But in all honesty, it only really spoke to me (sounds cheesy but I can't think of another way to word it) around autumn and one of my best memories is listening to it on the bus, stuck in a traffic jam.

    I love this album and I love that it reminds me of cold, blustery days.

    It's definitely a winter warmer album for me :)

    I agree. I tend to listen to different PJ albums during different seasons. Vitalogy and Binaural are more of winter albums for me. But in general I listen to more PJ in the winter than in the summer. Probably because i became a HUGE fan during the winter so I always listen to them during that time of year.

    It was my christmas present, December 94. It had just came out. I was 17. It's a winter album, alright! I remember listening to Tremor Christ in a stormy dark sunday afternoon... The perfect scenario!

    It was summer here when it came out. But it's a winter album for me too. Specially for those days when the sky covers with clouds, and it gets really dark, maybe at 11am. Thats the perfect moment to play your vitalogy.

    Yes, "Vitalogy" is a winter album. For me, winter is a conteplative time (after the holiday rush of friends and family). I take stock of the year (no, not Jan 1) as it's played out and think about what has been happening in my life and the lives of people around me. Spring, Summer, that's when I go out and have some fun (not that I don't have fun in Winter). It's just that a cold, snowy, dreary day turns one inward. "Vitalogy" is perfect for that.
    Hope that made sense.

    Nice observation. I actually think of Yield as being the 'winter' album. I don't know why, the songs just seem to fit the climate. Cold, crisp, clear and beautiful.

    When it's snowing and I have this playing on my iPod, it's absolutely magical.

    For winter in general though, I prefer "Ten" and "Vs."

    It was so awesome to run outside when it was snowing and "Last Exit" started playing.

    I like No Code better for late December and early January.
    I like Vitalogy around February.

    I can listen to it any time, but the album makes me think of winter. It came out in December when I was in 10th grade, and I remember my aunt bought it for me a few weeks later, the day before the Super Bowl. Through a set of circumstances, I was not able to listen to it that day. The next day, I was at my aunt's house for a Super Bowl party and I was a little anxious for the game to end so I could get home and give it a spin.

    Then, that night, I put it in my cd player and I will never forget how "Tremor Christ" sounded for the first time. I was blown away.

    Vitalogy will always make me think of the winter months of tenth grade, and inversley, when I think of 10th grade, songs like "Nothingman" and "Tremor Chirst" play in my mind.

    I just moved into my own place by myself in the middle of nowhere (NEWMAN LAKE, WA). I went to the CD release at hastings and won a free Vitalogy CD. I had no TV and I Lived in a brand new apartment on the side of a Airplane hanger and I would get high and listen to this CD for hours at an alarming volume. this is also around the time of our Ice storm and I had the only power in a 50 mile radious and I would have this album blasting and people would see my lights on and stop and ask how I have power. GREAT, GREAT Winter. I have always connected this album to winter. Which is funny cause I hate Winter.
    but love this album. Not my Favorite but it has its place in my heart.

    I agree Vitalogy and Binaural are good albums for Winter but I always listen to No Code around Christmas!

    Good stuff. Because of reading this thread at work earlier today, I put in Vitalogy for an entire playing for the first time since the 90's. Much better than I remembered!
