The only Pearl Jam I wanna listen to is new Pearl Jam.

Will popular opinion of some of Pearl Jam's music ever change? Will No Code, Binaural, and Riot Act ever be widely recognized for the masterpieces that they truly are? Will there ever be a time that Ten doesn't dominate Pearl Jam album rankings?

I think that's starting to happen a little bit (certainly, at least, with No Code and Yield). A lot of the ten-year anniversaries of those records seemed to have people rethinking them, or at least new critical voices entering the conversation. But will they ever eclipse Ten? No, I don't think so, the album is just too massive and has already cemented its place. As far as their studio work goes, Pearl Jam I think will be remembered for Ten and for other individual songs of theirs that were very popular. I think the main way they're going to be remembered is for their legacy as a live act.

Why are you asking me all of this?

Pearl Jam's career seems similar to Adam Sandler's. Critics didn't like them when they first started out but they eventually came around, albeit begrudgingly. Then, after a few middle years of exploration and creativity(Punch Drunk Love), they got lazy as middle age people do. Or just lost motivation/ changed life priorities etc.

Right, though

Okay, how about Rick Schroeder. Was the pretty boy and then, stunningly, takes a big role on the grittiest tv drama of its time(NYPD Blue). Even the critics had to admit he at least had range(No Code).

It really sucks to have started my PJ fandom in 2006-ish.

Listening to some 1998 PJ. Haven't listened to much PJ at all lately. Still love it. Wasn't sure.

What's the song playing in the background?

Ah, don't think I've ever heard it. It seems I haven't missed much though.

Post by **epilogue** » Wed April 10, 2019 6:38 pm

It was part of the Eat, Pray, Love soundtrack in 2010(?). It's totally fine. I don't hate it but it's not a song I return to much.

My friend says he wants to die
He's in a band
They sound like Pearl Jam
The clothes are all black
The music is crap
