The opinion that Binaual is a "best album" and Vitalogy is not vexes me.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Binaural and riot Act are like...the last two albums Id want to hear. I wouldnt mind hearing Backspacer. At the pace that Pearl Jam plays all their songs live, it'd be over with in 15 minutes anyways, it could be a fun diversion

Riot Act, Binaural, Vitalogy, No Code, Yield, VS, Lightning Bolt.

Those are the complete PJ albums I would like to hear live. In that order. That order does not reflect the order of my favorite albums.

Eddie's vocals on LW aren't very good.

Crazy. LW has great vocals.

Pearl Jam should focus on quieter songs.

Fuck that, from the last few albums especially, the best songs are all the heavier/louder ones.

It's a really boring song. But Ed's vocals are probably the least of my concerns when it comes to Life Wasted.

I detest "Life Wasted". It's probably my least favorite Pearl Jam song of all time. Ed sounds really bad in it, but he sounds really bad through that entire album.

I'd go so far as to say his vocals are the best part of the song.

It's a great fucking song, I'm always shocked when people don't like.
I agree.
