No its nots. Burt, they released albums after 1991.

"Not for you" from The Orpheum 94 show is the reason why i'm still on a board like this today

My friend didn't want to buy it even though he was the Pearl Jam fan that turned me on to Pearl Jam. He didn't like Vitalogy very much. So I bought No Code the day it came out. Invited him over and we listened to it on my dad's really nice stereo.

I was in love with it and he was bored out of his mind. I don't think he listened to it again for several months after that. It couldn't stop listening to it.

It is weird to remember how much PJ fans didnt care about No Code in those years.

It's an odd idea for me now, that people didn't like the album. I adored the album right out of the gate, and also didn't have any friends who liked PJ they way I did, so my opinion wasn't ever swayed.

For me, Pilate stands out as the moment that I pretty much remained the only big PJ fan amongst my friends in high school. Everyone basically gave up on them at that point. I remember specifically because it was my turn to choose the music on a basketball team road trip and by the time Pilate came on, the tribe spoke and changed the music.

I listened to it last night for the first time in a long time and that was the random related thought i had. Just felt strange. I dont know.

Maybe thats why you dont like it...i do. Distress is such a cool song....the same with this life or Silver Linnings.

I wonder if some of this comes down to so many of these songs traditionally occupying different positions in live sets than they do on the record. "Oceans" and "Release" in the middle and at the end, respectively, rather than opening; "Porch" mid-record rather than at the end of a set; "Alive" at the beginning, not during an encore.

It's kind of like how when "Super Mario World" came out and you fought the Koopa children in a different order than you fought them in "Super Mario Bros. 3." That messed with my head big time in third grade or whenever that was.

I always thought "I'm lost, I'm no guide/But I'm by your side" was perhaps the only decent lyric in "Leash." But yesterday I listened to the Aladdin show and heard "I'm lost, I'm naugahyde," and now I can't unhear it.

No Code is great.

Naugahyde leashes are the best kind. It is his most relevant lyric ever, maybe.

Was this in honour of the kid being born straight after her husbands 41st PJ concert?
