Never listened to this. I like Ten but to be honest I feel like I have plenty of more enjoyable things to listen to. It's on my Deezer's favorite list, though, so I'll definitely check it out some day. I'm just not in a hurry.

I didn't like this album the first time I heard it, but it's amazing what a second listen can do! Great follow-up to the slightly better album, Ten!

[moojakptorei]

Not as good as Ten but that is a hard album to follow up and they did a great job.

Glorified virgin on a pelican


Fine, fine album. Dissident, Daughter, Rearviewmirror, Glorified G. are all great songs.

Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town is on my ever-revolving wheel of fortune to determine my favorite Pearl Jam song.

[Guest]

Meh. I'll stick with Ten.

[pearljammer13]

Absolutely glorious album. Some days I think this is actually better than Ten, but that may also be due to the fact that so many songs off Ten have been overplayed to death. Either way it's right beside Ten as one of the best alt rock albums of the 90's. Leash is an underrated song, and not the only one here.

[ProfessorSquid]

I like this one better than Ten, but I think that's partly a function of the hype. I can remember when this came out that some of my peers were convinced it was vastly inferior. Leave it to 10 year old kids.

This is the first album I remember considering "highly anticipated". After the classic Ten we were all dieing to hear more Pearl Jam.

It didn't quite live up to the hype but how could it? It is still a great album. For a long time Rearviewmirror was my favorite song. Indifference is one of their classic more quiet songs in the vein of Release.

Before the album came out they went on the MTV music awards and performed the following song. I remember wondering "who the heck is that old guy?" Oh my 16 year old self had so much to learn yet...
