Seriously, Joey. You've got a lot of growing up to do.

Every little thing, when it falls, if falls in its right place.

Vitalogy
Yield
No Code
Vs.
Binaural
Riot Act
Ten
Lost Dogs
S/T
Backspacer

[Norah]

Mmmm... Let's see...

1. Vitalogy (this is pretty cemented, for me)
2. Ten
3. Riot Act
4. Yield (this has gained a lot of ground over the past year; may move up even more)
5. Vs
6. Backspacer
7. No Code
8. Pearl Jam
9. Binaural

Some of those have actually changed a bit since the last time I ranked them. That's interesting to see.

Backspacer over no code? That`s unique.

No Code is probably my 2nd favorite PJ album until Habit. From that point on it's touch and go. Super uneven, to these ears. Couple that with the sort of muted underwater quality to the production and I have to rank it beneath Backspacer.

But be glad, I used to have it ranked under S/T as well. Only recently did it move up to the 7th spot for me.

This is absurd. The production on No Code is the best of any Pearl Jam album.

No Code

Vitalogy
Yield
Ten
Binaural
Riot Act
S/T
Backspacer

Ten's moved up a few spots. I like Binaural, but they left most of the best material from those sessions off the finished album. If I were including those songs, it would easily sneak up at least one more spot.

Yeah, this is quite a jarring revelation, Joey.

[tommymtcom]

The first 5 should be the middle records. 6 and 7 should be ten and vs in any order, 8 and 9 should be backspacer and self titled in any order.

Nope. It's Riot Act and you know it.

Riot Act is up there, but No Code sounds damned near perfect.

I just calls 'em like I hears 'em. If No Code was only 9 tracks it would be my #2.

No Code has a distinct underwater quality to me.

Riot Act is so full. The sound has so much room, so much depth. It's warm and round.

In fact, I'd say Riot Act and Yield and Vitalogy sound better than No Code. Maybe Binaural too.

[Norah]

Someday you'll get it.

[epilogue]

I hope so. Yield took a while, but it finally clicked this past year.

[Norah]

Then it's the next logical step.

[darth_vedder]

I hope so. Yield took a while, but it finally clicked this past year.

It's about damn time.

[Jorge]

the sort of muted underwater quality to the production.

huh

[Norah]

Yeah, No Code is crisp and vibrant.
