Re: RANK THE ALBUMS
That's fair. I just can't get past the fact I really only like about half the songs on the album.tragabigzanda wrote:more than any other PJ album, the sheer energy of their playing makes up for any lack of great songwritingMonkey_Driven wrote:I like your style, though Vs. is much lower on my list.tragabigzanda wrote:Vitalogy

Re: RANK THE ALBUMS
But wait! Insofar as compiling studio recordings in the form of an official release, there are at least 12 (Lost Dogs and Rearviewmirror). I have never included them in my rankings but maybe I should...knee tunes wrote:yo Pearl jam has just 10 studio albums ya'll

Re: RANK THE ALBUMS
This is pretty much my personal list - exactly - but I put Yield below Ten/Vs cause it just seemed weird not having Ten/Vs higher. But I prefer to listen to Yield.Kalevi wrote:No code

Re: RANK THE ALBUMS
There are albums I don't play much, but none that I'm actually mad upon hearing.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Re: RANK THE ALBUMS
I think S/T is an excellent album. I even enjoy Big Wave which I know is derided around here. I generally agree that the production wasn’t great but I enjoyed the songs. I also enjoy the studio version of Gone *gasp*.durdencommatyler wrote:It is, yes.chewm wrote:S/T is good.

100% agree on all points. Big Wave and Gone are both fantastic.liebzz wrote:I think S/T is an excellent album. I even enjoy Big Wave which I know is derided around here.

I agree....Backspacer and Lightning Bolt are clearly their worst two albums but I don't think either one is necessarily "bad".durdencommatyler wrote:Hot Take: Pearl Jam has no bad albums.
