What does /mu/ think of Pearl Jam?

Would be ok if the singer didn't sound like he is choking on semen

Ten was great at the time

Most of it sounds horribly dated now.

Ten is a 9. They don't have an album over a 6 after that. However their two best songs, Better Man and Daughter, aren't on their best album.

HEY JEWEMY, HOW WAS CWASS TODAY?

>ten is a 9
No. its clearly a 10

They have moments of brilliance on almost all of their albums, but the only album that's consistently good all the way through is Ten.

only nu males hate pearl jam, vitology, vs, ten, even binaural are all certified bangers

Even Flow is a damn great song.

Best song on San Andreas too. Very atmospheric, very fitting for every locale in that game.

>>71628679
Wait never fucking mind apparently it's not in the game. Thought it was. Maybe it was just on my playlist.

>>71628679
were probably thinking of STP- Plush. It sounds just like Even Flow

>>71628679
>San Andreas
radio x ma nigga

They're ok, just never ever read any interview with Eddie Vedder ever.

my work here is done

Horrible buttrock. Anyone who unironically listens to them should leave /mu/ at once.

>>71628342
three of my favourite songs from them were Garden, Given to Fly and Indifference.

They're a competent rock band, they have some moments but I believe they've become a victim of their own success. All of the imitators they spawned resulted in them becoming very cliche.

>Insignificance*

Indifference is a nice mellow jam, but nothing spectacular

>opening track of Vs. is a song about bestiality
Noice.

Had a Yield CD as a kid. Listened to it almost daily from the age of 5 to 8 because I was autistic. Now it's so ingrained into my mind that it's a 10/10 for me.

Ten [Epic, 1991]

in life, abuse justifies melodrama. in music, riffs work even better ("Once", "Even Flow"). *

Vs. [Epic, 1993] *bomb*

Vitalogy [Epic, 1994]

It's getting hard to hate Eddie Vedder--his struggles with stardom have a concreteness missing from more mythic epics of resistance. But it isn't his MTV boycott or TicketMaster stand that make his third album his best--it's his need to live up to Kurt's musical example and expiate Kurt's mythic pain. Three or four of these songs are faster and riffier than anything else in P. Jam's book, token experiments like "Bugs" are genuinely weird, and in an era of compulsory irony his sincerity is something like a relief--a Kurtlike relief at that. A-

Really the only major grunge band I could never get into, even as a kid. They always just seemed kind of dull and shallow compared to AIC and Nirvana and whoever else

Ten and VS are top tier. Vitalogy is a little strange but still up there. Everything after that is an order of magnitude lower on the scale but there are still some scattered diamonds. Even their worst records have salvageable songs.
