Feeling everything about these albums. Everything. The artwork, reading the lyrics, following along with the booklet as the album progresses, musical fucking genius, these two albums feel similarly superior to me, and I absolutely love them both.
The Undeniable Classics
Ten
Vs.
Vitalogy
These three are absolute classics for a reason. Wherever you rank them amongst your favorites, everyone agrees they are staples and classics, not just for PJ, but for classic rock.
Awesome Albums, Amongst the Best
No Code
Yield
Riot Act
Creativity in spades. Classics in their own right. An argument can be legitimately made these are top albums. We’re eight albums deep folks.
Good Album, Awful Production
Avocado
The songs are there for a pretty damn good PJ album, but it sounds like shit on the record. Every single song was better live.
Please Ignore
Backspacer
Lightning Bolt
These are so, so, bad. Ugh.
Nine wonderful albums and two stinkers.

I think that's the first time I've ranked Yield over No Code but it's how I'm feeling right now

1. Binaural
2. Yield
3. No Code
These top three trade places by the hour.
4. Backspacer
It feels good to be in the minority with this.
5. PearlJam this album has climbed more than any other. It helps it is summer time.
6. Vs
Glorified G and Wma drag this down.
7. Ten
8.Vitolgy as a critical listener I would say this maybe one of the crowning achievements in rock music.
9. Riot Act hate the first three. But the middle 4 5 6 7 8 are aces
10. Lighting Bolt
11. Gigaton I see a route up for this could supplant Riot Act.

With WMA it ia the placement for me that run in the middle derails the whole whole album. There is also something boring about it sonically. I will say Ed has a really strong moment with WMA. Glorified is just a stupid song on all levels.

I think the song structure of Glorified is interesting, sinister lyrics with a really catchy chorus too. All time PJ song imo.

Ditto. I can understand maybe not liking the song but at no point does Vs. get derailed.

What an odd time to talk negatively about WMA. Song has never impressed me more, or felt more powerful.
