General Pearl Jam Bitching

[harmless]

I don't think they're experimental. I do think they're eclectic though even if it's by classic rock standards. You could argue that they fit well in the rock context of the late 60's trough the early 70's in that regard and Ed as a singer mirrors that perfectly.

Yep, eclectic is a much better argument. They've been eclectic enough to put some fans off, and they're still doing it.

i am a little happier with eclectic than experimental. i am mostly on board with everything lament said except perhaps for including tool on his boundaries list.



No one brings up the Smashing Pumpkins here. The seem like a fairly obvious point of comparison, pseudo longevity aside. Could you argue that a record like Adore is a much greater departure from anything else in their catalog than No Code or Binaural were for Pearl Jam

Adore left a taste of vomit in my mouth. I've never disliked a band so quickly after hearing a new album. It took many years for me to respect TSP again.

I've never heard Adore. But it sounds like what happened after I heard 'If Not Now When' by Incubus.

It is a good album but pretty far from the 3 previous records. All down hill from there

[Jorge]

Haha, Adore is my second-favorite SP album (behind Siamese Dream). Love it.

[stip]

it's my third. some great stuff on there

Same here.

[VinylGuy]

i love Adore. At the time it was a very difficult album, very challenging and different from the previous one. I dont think SP fans appreciated that, the backlash was pretty big, but its really good.... To Sheila, Ava adore, Perfect, Daphne Descends, For Martha, Behold the nightmare..Blank page..all great songs.

I see the relation between MCATIS and Adore with Vitalogy/No Code, but i think PJ always worked more as a real band than SP.

I'd like to diss Pearl Jam for the track reveal thing, because its making our forum lag

[Jorge]

It's not lagging for me.

[harmless]

Me neither.

[Lounge Lizard]

I should restart my router.
Hold on a minute, PJ, dont reveal any more tracks while I'm gone

It wouldn't lag if you just closed the 7 chatroulette windows on your browser, man.

Let The Records Work or Let The Records Study would have been so much more in depth!
