Vs. has so many great songs. Rearviewmirror is probably a top 2 or 3 for me. The ending of that song is the best thing Pearl Jam have ever done imo. Yet, there are lesser songs too which are not as good as some of the lesser songs on Ten (Garden, Oceans, Deep, Why Go are better than Glorified G, Rats, W.M.A., Blood, Leash). Hence, it ranks below Ten for me but definitely a top 3 album.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

To make it clear, I feel the ending of RVM is the best thing they've ever done as far as a song part is concerned, followed closely by the ending of Black. Overall, Black is their best song. Corduroy and RVM fight for the number 2 song slot and I'm not sure I could ever pick one.

Looking forward to march madness next year

listening to Vs and two random thoughts:

Eddie’s performance on GG is sharper than I remember.

It is weird that in many ways Dissident feels like the template for generic Pearl Jam even though there are barely any Pearl Jam songs that sound like it

Yeah there's probably some of that. It just sounds like the year 1993

WMA looks more impressive from the year 2020 in terms of subject matter

yeah, i agree with this. Might be the first of many songs were the bridge sounds like a classic PJ bridge too.

Glorified G has a bad rep on RM for absolutely no reason. It’s fucking awesome. Same with Leash and Dissident.

GG has a bad rep here? Bonkers.

Leash is a beast. One of my white whales live along with Oceans.

I’ve only seen PJ five or six(?) times and I’ve gotten both of those. I’ve always loved Leash. I get that it has juvenile lyrics but I couldn’t possibly care less. It’s so musically fierce. And Ed is so damn powerful. I love it.
