I love all PJ albums but if I have to rank

VS
No Code
Yield
Vitalogy
Ten
Backspacer
Binaural
Riot Act
Lightning Bolt
Pearl Jam

BUT ALL ARE 5 STAR ALBUMS

There are 2 supersonicy punk songs (never destination and take the long way)

There are no bluesy tracks like Half Full or Let the records play.


I had Buckle Up pegged as my fav song based on the title. It was not the rocker I thought it would be.

I’ve never been able to experience a PJ release without the bias of reading reviews on boards. So that was a treat. Fuck. that opener. Once it starts it does not let go. The crowd was floored. So much energy. You can feel every single band members footprint on it. It’s huge and fun.

I see everyone enjoying this album. And Ed seems super proud of it. For very good reason. But as I’ve said before. Fuck. I gotta retool my top 10.

Cheers!
Is DotC indicative of the other songs on the album, or is it a clear outlier?
Also, does it sound DIFFERENT, or does it nestle itself comfortably next to Lightning Bolt? (E.g. is it as different as Binaural and Yield are, or is it more like Lightning Bolt?

Yes. It’s save you mixed with getaway.

Jonathan Cohen has described Mike McCready's solo in that song as 'sizzling' ?

How sizzling would you say we are talking here?

A) Low and steady enough to heat a sunnyside egg
B) Hot enough to cook a philly cheesesteak but not burn
C) Hibachi Onion Volcano Fireball

Buckle Up,” written by guitarist Stone Gossard, surfs a dexterous major-key guitar line and is one of the more abstract songs on the album, but serves as the perfect lead-in to Vedder’s “Comes Then Goes,” sporting Pete Townshend-worthy acoustic guitar aggression and the memorable lyric, “We could all use a savior from human behavior.”

It sits alongside with lightning bolt. If there were more tracks like DotC it would have been that type of departure. Had I not heard DotC it would have stuck out like a sore thumb... PLATED WITH GOLD.

But this album is closest to lightning bolt if I had to pick.

Way more “radio friendly” than NAIS. More of an anthem.

Is Buckle Up still a good song in your view?

it was described by Cohen as follows, which leaves things open to the imagination:

Buckle Up,” written by guitarist Stone Gossard, surfs a dexterous major-key guitar line and is one of the more abstract songs on the album, but serves as the perfect lead-in to Vedder’s “Comes Then Goes,” sporting Pete Townshend-worthy acoustic guitar aggression and the memorable lyric, “We could all use a savior from human behavior.”
