Yield: Official Album Thread

No Way is top 10 PJ

No way is it a top ten PJ song. Ed sounds off, the No Way part is just strange.

All the static in my attic-a
Shoots down my sciatic nerve
To the ocean of my platitudes
Longitudes, latitudes, it's so absurd

[Jorge]

I love that verse.

[PHATJ]

No code and then Yield are both great. But both records do that U2 thing of top loading the record and put the hits up front.

Discuss.

Some of my favorites on No Code are Present Tense, Red Mosquito, and Lukin. All second halfers.

Discuss.

DTE, Low Light, In Hiding, All Those Yesterdays all in the second half. Vs Brain of J, Faithfull, GTF in the first half. That's quite even.

I love the second half of No Code, but I agree that the first half is amazing.

I would have said No Code and Yield are pretty constant the whole way through

[Norah]

No Code's fatal flaw is I'm Open.

No Code's fatal flaw is I'm OpenOff He Goes.

No Code's fatal flaw is I'm Opennot Off He Goes.

Off He Goes is a top 20 Pearl Jam song.

[LoathedVermin72]

Off He Goes is the worst song of all time

[Norah]

Off He Goes is a perfectly fine song. I'm Open was named poem of the month by a junior high creative writing club.

[PHATJ]

Off He Goes is unquestionably better than I'm Open, but it is still mid tier PJ at best.

[LoathedVermin72]

Off He Goes is unquestionably better than I'm Open, but it is still mid tier PJ at best.

I QUESTION I QUESTION!

[Anders]

The lyrics from Off He Goes really speaks to me. Both with people I have known (like my father), and what it meant to Pearl Jam at the time. Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit. The music is simple but beautiful, and Ed's vocals are perfect. Some of his very best.

Sad (Lost Dogs, 2003)

Yknow.

If happy when I'm crying was on Yield? It would be the greatest fucking record of all time.

It would eclipse all the blindspots and elevate the whole record.

[Norah]

I'm so into everything Happy When I'm Crying it's sickening.

[Birds in Hell]

RE: Low Light:

Maybe bottom 20 (for non-PRAMG)

Agreed.

Off He Goes is the worst song of all time

I love, love, love Off He Goes. One of the band's very best - Jack's drums on that song, Ed's voice, the way the guitars sound...

[dimejinky99]

I'm so into everything Happy When I'm Crying it's sickening.

I know pal. I posted that for you. I know.

[Norah]

I'm so into everything Happy When I'm Crying it's sickening.

I know pal. I posted that for you. I know.

God you're sexy.

[chewm]

Happy When I'm Crying would be the worst song fom Yield.
