Red Mosquito

All hail the greatest sophomore record of all time. Still stands in there like a great heavyweight, shucking and jiving and grooving, delivering knockout blows over and over again. Much love to the RM board, especially those still grinding it out since the early 00’s!

It sucked then and it sucks now

Still my fav album.

I was working at Target when this came out. It was due for release Monday/Tuesday. But on the Saturday after closing the boss called me out the back and there was the CD display for Vs with about 100 copies ready for sale.

The boss let me take a copy home Saturday and pay for it Monday.

One of the Greatest day ever.

Go/Animal/daughter left me stunned and although I wanted to listen to the entire album.I re-started the album after Daughter due to I had to listen to those first 3 songs again.

I remember jumping around and going crazy to Blood/RVM.

Still the best Pearl Jam album!

it was my number 1 until vitalogy and my number 2 for a decade. an incredible record

Ten - Yield is such an untouchable run, a favorite is impossible.

I think I bought this one at midnight at Strawberries. I bought the cassette version, and I'm sure the album title was Five Against One.

I listened to it a bunch. I wish I still had that tape.

I had the tape that had Five Against One printed on it too. I gave it to my GF when I bought the CD.

My only critique is that this is distracting us from Lightning Bolt's 10 year anniversary

Still back in the old hometown. She works at the hospital in the town I’m in now. Well, she did. I assume she’s still there. It’s probably been 20 years or so since I’ve seen her.

this has all the makings of a pearl jam song

It just may already be on Vs

30 years.

Still listen to this album regularly. Was hoping Ridleybradout and co was gonna drop a 30th anniversary release for it like they did with Ten
