Ten (studio album) by Pearl Jam

An energetic album that is an essential part of the history of the 90's. The impact it had is mainly due to the initial 6 track run that opens this release. There isn't a single weak link in this run with it just going from banger to banger. The instrumentation is also very infectious with Even Flow and Jeremy captivating me right from the first listen. Furthermore, while his vocal seems to be a little divisive, I absolutely love Eddie Vedder's style of singing and it suits the crashing guitars and drums perfectly. It also does a great job of filling the listener with energy as the passion and spirit of the group is poured into the music on here making for a thrilling experience. Overall, this is the groups strongest record as it has their best songs and is a must listen for anyone who is into this genre of music.

30 years later....and I still enjoy revisiting this album. I was considering dropping it from my top 100, but after another listen I realise what a poor decision that would be. In fact I will lift it up a few more places. Like fine wine, it seems to get better with age.

This good all the way, sometimes it´s just great.

Solid album

A really cool album that was part of an alternative rock scene that defined the 1990s with this near the very top of that.

My track score for this album is 90 and it is placed @ 13th in my overall chart with a rating of 100

I don’t think I know how to objectively rate this album. It played an oversized role in my high school years, but I probably haven’t listened to it for 25 years until today.

What I believe is that Pearl Jam is well constructed as a band. They do really well blending two separate guitars to make a fantastically complex sound. I also believe that Pearl Jam excels at two different song styles: the slow, brooding build like “Release” and the faster, almost-out-of-control pace like in “Alive”.

Songs in the middle like Even Flow or Jeremy get lost in the shuffle for me.

Great rock album. Very few weak points. My favourite tracks are Release, Even Flow and Black.

There is just so much good material on this album. Even the casual Pearl Jam fan would love this record.

Clásicos combinados con otras canciones de relleno. Aun así hay que decir que es un buen debut. La voz de Vedder es espectacular, sobre todo en medios tiempos.

Mejores canciones: Black es grandísima. Alive, Jeremy y Release.
