Ten

Another 90s album that I appreciate and think is good without really connecting with. Lots of good songs on this. Nothing that I consider one of my favorites or even something I ever will want to listen to again.

Not my vibe, a lot of electric guitar

Providing my quick thoughts on this record song for song as it's a friends favourite of all time. I'll provide my overall thoughts at the end. Riff on Once is sweet. I've heard Even Flow so many times I can't pick out anything I want to comment on. It's like asking me to describe the flavour of water. Alive is a better of the popular tracks. Again Even Flow isn't bad - it's just there. Why Go has a couple spooky vocal deliveries, rippin' guitar solo. Surprised upon research why I've never heard of Mike McCready. Seems like he should be more famous based on how well known Eddie is. Black is my fave of the four well-known tracks. Jeremy is so angsty holy. Still remember the angsty music video from 30 years ago. Good Bass on Oceans. Wonder if that's why. Because Bass is also in the Ocean. Porch opening chords kinda remind me of Rush. Probably has nothing to do with them as a grunge band but I mean hey I like it. Sounds like he has a lot to say on this song but I can't really tell. Breaks down into another cool guitar solo part. Wonder if Eddie does any of these or if it's my boy Mike (I know him now). Garden pretty chill song that ends with another long ass guitar solo. Who would have thought. Deep sounds like a song they would have extended jam sessions on stage. Not really my thing. Release has this cool intro thing where the guitar begins and it morphs into EV's voice. That's cool. Little bonus track at the end there. Doesn't really work in Spotify streaming days anymore does it? Anyways, like almost every bonus track, needless, useless. Overall, I will admit I liked this album more than I'd thought I would. Probably because there's more here musically than just Eddie's voice and lyrics, both which I can do without. As I mentioned in the above, it's clear Eddie gets the claim to fame for Pearl Jam but I think there's just as much to be said (if not more, if you don't care for his voice like me) for the other musicians. Like a fifth of nearly every song the guitar solo's are given space. But maybe most of that is actually Eddie Vedder as I do note that he's rhythm? I'm not sure. I guess after this listen I can say, I get the Pearl Jam love - still don't get the EV love though.

Even Flow from back in the Rockband/Guitar Hero days! Alive is a classic. A 3* for me -- can't see myself revisiting, but it is a classic with lots of good tracks. Enjoyed Black, Jeremy.

My review is based solely on how many times I have heard this album already. It is solid. Nothing more, nothing less.

Curiously soulless

Never been much of a grunge fan outside of the occasional listen to Nevermind, but this is solid enough to deserve a good rating. The big singles (which is like half the album) I've heard plenty of times before and they still land well. Songs like Even Flow, Alive, and Jeremy, the opener Once has a killer chorus and guitar riff too. I'll probably give it more listens in the future and it'll likely grow on me, but for now I'll just leave it at I enjoyed it.

Скучно Ровный классический рок, но ухо при первом прослушивании не зацепилось

I’ve tried for decades to understand why people love this album. I think it’s ok. I have it on CD. I play it every now and again. But it’s not even my favourite Pearl Jam album let alone favourite grunge album. The singles are fine, memorable and inevitably overplayed. I tried again today but this record still doesn’t really do much for me. It’s fine. I get people love it.

listenable groovaceous dad rock which i must respect but i just don't care for this dude's voice. i begrudgingly err on the side of not liking it. 3 stars i weep

Rock album, found a few bangers in there which def went on my liked playlist but I wasn’t too excited about the rest of em

I don’t know about this one man. Nevermind they are cooking with the last song. I also like Alive because Kyle likes it

Never been a big fan of Eddie Vedder's voice but this is a solid album to be fair

Listened Before? Surprisingly, No Album Art: 1 / 5 (have always hated this album cover for no good reason. I just think it looks lame as fuck) Of the early grunge acts, Pearl Jam is not among my favorites. I think perhaps because they always toed along the poppier end of the spectrum. Album opens with Once, which actually is pretty cool. Pearl Jam is almost singularly defined by the Eddie Vedder's unique vocal delivery. It is at once passionately gravelly and seemingly able to distort spacetime with its flexibility. Once is a kind of garage rock tune with proggy influences. Even Flow is one of the many megahits this band is known for. Certified jam with that wall of sound effect going for it. Never listened closely before, but there are some trippy background effects going on; glad I pulled out the headphones. Back to back on mega-hits with Alive. Not my favorite of their songs tbh, even though the guitar work is pretty solid. Why Go pulls them into a funkier rhythm. This one has some dance to it; I'm into it. Black stands in stark juxtaposition as it dims the lights and clears the dancefloor for something reminiscent of a slow-dance. I actually love this song and feel like its one of Pearl Jams best displays of range. Damn this album is deep. Jeremy is a jam even though the mixing sounds like shit. Oceans is kind of doo doo TBH. Like it wants to be epic, but never actually goes anywhere. Porch sounds kind of like DMB woke up and said "we can do grunge too." Honestly not a bad song, but it feels particularly campy. Okay... after Jeremy I honestly stopped caring and this all started to slur together. There are plenty of great songs on here. The hits are undeniable and Once is a strong lead into the album. Release, is probably someone's favorite deep cut, but I honestly couldn't care about Vedder's crooning for 5 minutes with a lethargic build. It has a certain fading of the mist effect going for it, but ultimately its a miss for me. The trippy 80s style instrumental following was unexpected, but really not necessary. All said, I'm unmoved from my original position. Pearl Jam has undeniable talent and put out some smash pop-rock hits, but aren't really the act for me. This album was great for the first half with a spotty back half that is at best forgettable, and at worst outright terrible. I'm a soft 3 / 5 here. Added to Library? No Songs Added to Playlists:

Listening to this album for the first time in a long time has turned me from a Pearl Jam agnostic into...someone who kinda likes them now. The first three songs are such an incredible opening and Eddie Vedder's caveman vocals lend every song an epic feel. But, the bubblegrunge sound they pioneered isn't totally my thing. Nobody did this sound better, but the bands it inspired were like Nickelback and Creed. Still my least favorite of the big 4 grunge bands, but at least I understand their appeal better.

Hit machine. I knew most of the songs but enjoyed getting to hear a few more. Like garden and why go, especially now that I’m a parent. Wasn’t magical but solid album front to back.

Yep. Solid PJ album. Not my kinda of thing, but I can dig it.

The thing that really strikes me in listening to this is just how dark the early 90s really were, when songs about kids killing themselves in front of their classmates, or thinly veiled incest, could be mainstream top 40 hits.

A few standout songs but I find a lot of it just kind of exhausting now.

A lot of tracks sounds same-y. I like it more than Nirvana but stilt. Most songs just didnt hit the spot. The outlayers aren't enough to save this album.

It's fkn pearl jam dude, everybody heard this. I missed the craze in the 90s I'm never gonna really get it, but Even Flow and Jeremy fucking bang. STEEEZUSSSSSSSSSS

ok tier sympa

Average Jam

I cannot tell you how much I listened to this thing when it came out. Amazing then, not as good now but them's the breaks.

# 88 : Ten, by Pearl Jam was a Good album. There were some good songs and hits on there. I like Alive and Jeremey but the sound can be a bit repetitive and miserable. Better then average, but not great.... Fave track : Even Flow Listened : 16/10/2023

Once was good

Really good music but I have an unpopular opinion on this very popular album. I don't really like the vocals and the tone of the singer (who seems to be the main reason most people love pearl jam). It just doesn't click for me personally and it feels a bit out of place with the rest of the music. For this reason I can't give it 4 stars even though I enjoy those songs. (77%).

I have explicit songs blocked on Spotify so only listened to about half. There was a period of my life when I really tried to like Pearl Jam. I know Ten is Pearl Jam’s biggest album, and Pearl Jam was one of the biggest groups of the 90’s, but I’m more of a fan of grunge from the same time period like Soundgarden and Alice In Chains. Plus I don’t really like Eddie Vedder’s voice. I’ll give this a 3 star.

Good background music. Not a lot of stand outs but its good

Oldschool rock album with a nice blues/country touch

I can see the appeal, but not a good album nevertheless.

Meh. Never really enjoyed Pearl Jam. Don't think I would listen to this again.

Reminds me of Dave Matthews

so far this website is only giving me stuff I already know

Grungy rock, recognized Even Flow

It's fine. Very similar sounding songs. I get that Pearl Jam was important, but 30 years on, it sounds tame.

sounds like some generic dad rock. I like his voice. im sure this was influential in some way, other works seem the same if not worse

Awesome guitar solos.

I think the sound of the album isn't my kind of music .... buuut there are 4 magnific songs

I absolutely l loved that last song, everything else was pretty mid though. This wouldn’t preclude me from seeing PJ live, but this album wasn’t really for me.

Listened to it at the time and was a bit underwhelmed. Always thought they’ve got promise, but never quite delivered. Decent though

This goes straight into the over played and over hyped pile. It's not bad, just not even close to "one of the best rock albums ever". Eddie Vedder's vocals are not great, a couple of the songs manage to get past that anyway. That's pretty much all I have to say about it. Solid 3 material.

GRUNGE⁉️

Straight 90s rock. Prefer more alternative rock.

Yeah good, not really my vibe

Lots of big hits. Classic sound from the early 90s. Solid album. Although the songs are very good, cannot listen to many of them because they were overplayed on the radio.

Strong skate 3, pretty decent, not usually into this

Very throaty rock. Enjoyed the final track.

Only listened to a few tracks in the car. Was good, not great.

It’s an interesting album with a very distinctive sound. Not my cup of tea, but it’s alright. 3/5

dont like alt rock. 6/10

Very fun to groove to. Couldn't understand any of the lyrics except (generally) the title of the song. But still good songs to hum along to.

Blasphemous but only a 3 for me. I know, I know but there is just something about it which doesn't grab me as it should.

Alright

Debut studio album released in 1991. A good album.

our father who shreads in heaven

HÅRD grunge, ibland mer åt hårdrockshållet. Eddie Vedders basröst passar bra, de långa, djupa tonerna han tar blir som ett instrument i de rockiga melodierna. Väldigt rakt, rättfram rock. Inte mycket utsvängningar eller experiment. Det är intro vers refräng vers refräng gitarrsolo outro. Det låter bra, men är inte alltid jättespännande. Den här hårda grungen blir nog aldrig helt min kopp te, men det hindrar inte att jag kan uppskatta det vid rätt tillfälle. 'Even Flow' är nog bäst. I början av varje refräng, när Vedder går ned i "eEeven flooow" blir hans röst ett instrumet på det sättet jag nämnde ovan. Fett gitarrsolo i slutet av 'Alive'! Älskar drivet i 'Porch'. Bästa låt: Even Flow.

A bit too heavy for me, but it was fine

I don’t think I’ve listened to this album, but I have heard every song. Well attenuated and honesty pretty masterful composition. Not my particular cup of tea, but I see why they were basically top of the rock chart for the 90s

Hahahaha PJ were the enemy! But my brother was fond of them, and was learning to play guitar at the time, so both this record and my brother’s wrangling of the riffs have nostalgic pull on me. Interestingly, for a band named after jizz, their first album has been celebrated as a subtle yet successful concept album on “code for shit” - see the track listing: :”Even flow”, “Black”, “Oceans”, “Deep”, and “Release” sing to the act. “Once”, “Alive”, “Why Go”, “Porch”, “Garden”, and “Jeremy” address the emotional and physical context. When I was told this, my animosity towards PJ melted. “Once. Upon a time. I could control myself.” Knowing what we know now, how can this fail to move the listener? Thirty years removed, I can enjoy some of these tunes. Tails off, and would’ve been better had the title been the correct count. Eddie Vedder seems like a nice bloke, and the grunge politics of PJ being the conservative choice while Nirvana were the revolutionaries seems daft now, though I’m sure my altered opinion will be tested when the Smashing Pumpkins bloviate into our trek. Three!

👍

Solid album but it felt like a lot of the same idea. It feels like something is like to pop up on shuffle sometimes but not great for a full listen through. All in all, Pearl Jam’s great so I can’t complain.

Aardige muziek, goed te luisteren, maar ik ben geen fan.

Singles: --------------------------------- Alive (#16 UK, #16 US Rock) Even Flow (#27 UK, #3 US Rock) Jeremy (#15 UK, #5 US Rock) Oceans (Minor hit outside US/UK) 3.5/5

Top Tracks: - Release inkl. Hidden Track - Oceans

This is OK. NO idea why people love it so much.

Good album, but not really to my tastes. Don't feel the need or desire to re-listen after the first go.

Thick, fulsome 90s rock. Not for me, a bit crusty, but for someone I'm sure.

Much better than i remembered

3/5. Sure, the first half of the album is quite repeatable then the second half is nothing. Plus even the first half are not the best songs, just some good songs.

Very American sound of rock that didn’t quite make it in the UK. Some well known tunes, big sound. Not bad

3 stars

3.7 - Most of Pearl Jam's greatest hits are on the first half of this record, which feels epic. Though I haven't ever listened to this record in full, I know songs like "Jeremy" on a deep personal level. Seemingly overnight, Eddie Vedder became the voice of 90s hard rock, emulated by legions of lesser bands (e.g. Nickelback, Silverchair, Creed...). It's hard to separate the voice from its meme-like status; however, his incredible vocal performance on songs like "Black" remind me why so many people copied his style. I'm also struck by the guitar work on songs like "Alive" and on deeper cuts like "Ocean" - layered, vivid and colorful. The second half of the record doesn't have the same fire power, and songs like "Deep" detract from the overall flow. Still, it's an important cultural touchstone well worth a listen.

I get the landmark status of this album, but the vocals are just not for me.

l’album si le chanteur criait pas

Ten has always disappointed me. I heard Vs first, loved that and still do, every song. So many bangers, one after the other. So on hearing there was this great debut album, and knowing the monster singles Alive, Even Flow, Jeremy, all great, so exciting! But, no. Aside from those most stuff here is just plodders. Just can't see why it's so revered. I've given it so many chances to reveal itself to me and it's never landed. I hear PJ have other really good albums too but I've never got into them, so it's possible that VS just hit right on an impressionable teen, and simply the residuals of that love have sustained that record alone for me down the years. I forgot Oceans, that's very decent. So that's 4 tracks. Release is like Elderly Woman except not as good. There are no bad songs here, just several boring ones, so I'm inclined to edge a 3.

Sadly, nothing new to me on this album stood out to me. Maybe I was distracted. I probably liked it more than the Soundgarden album I got, but it's still a three. Perhaps I don't like grunge that much, and I actually just like Nirvana? I don't know. My favourite song was Even Flow.

listened to it!

listened to half it was good

I enjoyed it, but on a first listen it feels pretty similar to a lot of other rock, honestly. It didn't jump out at me.

Doesn't hit the way it used to, but feels good.

I heard this album years ago and didn’t like it. I relistened and I didn’t really like the first half, but the moment “Ocean” started, it all kinda went uphill from there, culminating in the exuberant “Release.” All in all, while I still think this album is very spotty, I have a newfound respect for its place in rock’s history.

Very good songwriting, feels a bit long/jammy at times. Standouts are Alive, Why Go, Even Flow (obviously). Use of wah on guitars is nice and doesn't feel gimmicky. "Secret" track at the end of Release was a weird way to end the album, unsure whether I like it or not. Other standouts include Oceans, Black and Garden. Eddie's voice is unreal for a debut

I was very pleasantly surprised by this album. I’ve never gotten around to listening to Pearl Jam but I’m glad I did, don’t let this 3 fool you, it’s a strong 3. Waiting for the day we get half stars.

I woke up shaking, my face soaking from the constant stream of sweat pouring down it. A soft whisper left my mouth, so depressed that it was insusceptible to any normal human ear aiming to obtain its echo. I said it again, but louder, and yet it still was but a passing wind to most mortal creatures. I repeated again, louder, “three”. I kept crying out, louder, and louder, “THREE! THREE!! THREE!!!!!!”. I was bellowing it out now, waking up the neighbor’s murderous cat. “THREE!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”. Then, one last time for all the marbles, I screamed until the lights came on and the dawn had aged into a new day, “THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”.

Despite more than a few of these tracks being played to death on early aughts radio, I still found myself jamming along to the gold standard hits and deep cuts on this one. Definitely better to listen with headphones and get the full brunt of the guitar tone on this LP, which is the real star – given that it makes Vedder's vocals tolerable and then some is a notable feat. Avoided this band due to way too much exposure on the radio as a kid, but may have to circle back if the other albums are as solid as this one.

Classic, like many songs and the atmosphere but just not my favorite music

My first Pearl Jam album. I understand all the Eddie Vedder memes. Once is a great opener. I love the drum sound on this record. I wonder who engineered it? Dave Hillis...can't say I've heard of him but he's worked with some big big names. It's slightly become a bit of a "set and forget" album...easy to just put on and not pay much attention to. Still good background music. Notable Songs - Once Black - Mainly for the outro! 6/10

Tough. Thought a lot of the songs were pretty good but I just get so tired of his voice. Why Go had sick guitar. Not sure if ever listen to it again though. High 3.

узнала новый оригинал для знакомого кавера. но не моё

I do like a lot of the grunge coming from this era, but this one feels a little blander and flatter than the others.

Its a hit parade, certainly not my favorite thing to listen to and probably will never listen to Pearl Jam again.

Perfectly average rock n roll music 3/5

Listened

idk i dont rlly like grunge

I buried Jeremy alive in a deep hole under my porch. Blood didn't even flow from his black eyes once I removed them with my garden shears. Why go through such oceans of trouble, just to release some tension? Listen to this album to find out.

Я, к сожалению, вынужден критиковать Ten, потому что полностью в нем потерялся. После первых двух-трех треков альбом идет просто затем, чтобы идти дальше с непонятно какой целью, пластинка постепенно затягивается и к ее концу ты уже не понимаешь, слышал эту песню или нет. Зацепил лишь Even Flow, от него прям любовь словил, остальные песни кажется существуют просто для того, чтобы существовать. При этом от музыки получаешь удовольствие, звучит альбом неплохо и приятно, однако угадывается слишком много ключевых фишек из классического рока: ты их где-то точно слышал, но не можешь вспомнить где именно. Из самых явных сравнений: есть чувство, что такой же рок я слышал у SoundGarden на пластинке Ultramega OK 1988 года, где это звучит гораздо талантливее и смешнее, причем за три года не то что до альбома Ten, но и до Нирваны. Так что после прослушивания Pearl Jam остается грустное ощущение вторичности, которое компенсируется качеством музыки. Если не обращать внимание на постоянное deja entendu (а мне, как выросшему на радиостанции рок фм, человеку, это особенно жутко), то Ten звучит добротно и красиво. Тем не менее, оригинальности не хватает. На фон ставить буду, не более. 3/5

Вроде как все хорошо, на твердую 4 так точно, но чутка не хватило музыкальных/вокальных/текстовых выебонов, чтобы зацепило, поэтому трое4ка. Большую часть треков как послушал, так и забыл. Why Go, Jeremy, Porch (вот он прям топ, добавил в плейлист) Пы.сы. пытаюсь понять, как выстроить норм систему ревьюшек тут Пока рейт следующий: 1 -- еле дослушал (неуд 0-2) 2 -- альбом нормальный, но переслушивать не буду, максимум 10-15% треков в плейлист данного эксперимента (уд 3-4) 3 -- альбом позитивный, имхо заслуженно в топе, но не для личного топофзетоп, максимум 25% в плейлисте (хор 5-6) 4 -- альбом прям хршхрш, прям буду готов иногда (раз в год-два) переслушивать, но для шикардосного не хватает чуточку, максимум 30-35% в плейлисте (хор 7 - отл 8-9) 5 -- матерь божья это реально стоило послушать до своей смерти, мои дети получат травму именно на том, что я заебу их этими альбомами (отл 9-10) Вроде как должно нормальное распределение быть

I always liked the popular Pearl Jam songs on this album but never really got into them. Good band, some cool moments. Interesting vocals and melodys. Eddy Veder has a similar timbre sometimes to Dave Matthews

This is like the espolon of rock. It’s definitely better than the rail, but it still feels pretty generic a lot of the time. Some of the songs are iconic and interesting, but at the end of the day it’s kind of derivative and there’s so much guitar rock I’d rather listen to

Eddie Vedder's voice has always annoyed me to my core. I actually think I would LOVE this album if someone else sang the songs.

I’m not a huge fan of 90s college rock, but this was a good listen. While Eddie’s voice is an acquired taste, he packed a lot of emotion into this one. The reviews were correct that this album leans more toward classic rock in style and composition. Probably won’t listen to this one much, but I will add a few to my library! Favorite Songs: 1) Even Flow 2) Black 3) Garden

It gets three stars because the first half of this album is really recognizable and iconic, but after nearly an hour, it all blends together... honestly all of these songs sound the same.

Pretty good but have this already and never listen.

Extensive build-ups, emotionally loaded vocals overlaid against an impressive atmosphere of impotent despair. It's a shame that the "rough November Rain" aesthetic wears off around "Jeremy" and the "grunge U2" takes over for the rest of the album. Snap the record in half and you'll get an excellent smaller EP focused around "Black" which ends on a contemplative tone with "Oceans". "Excel" out of "Excellent" overall, so to speak.

No longer one of the greatest albums ever, but once was, to me

Not bad, not that memorable though. This was a very influential album in its time. In 2022 though I can't feel too much connection to this album. I've never been a huge fan of the genre regardless though, so it wouldn't really be my jam anyway. A few small highlights. The album opens and closes very well. And the big singles from the album are decent. FAVORITE SONGS: - One - Jeremy - Release 3/5

Now this is rock and roll!!! The first half of the album is very strong, the second-half sort of feels like a slog. It really is a nice gritty albuma nd Vedder's vocals are on full display. I really enjoyed Alive and I thought Release was a pretty good closer.

Yeah, it's OK. I mean, it's obviously better than OK, in that it is structured, performed and produced beautifully. But it just doesn't gripper me. I like to be grippered by music, and this has left me feeling unfortunately un-grippered. Which is a shame.

Good record, but besides "Even Flow" nothing truly outstanding.

Vähä tylsä, muutama iha kova kipale

Good music but I am not a fan of grunge.

Full disclosure: this album came out when I was an impressionable 14 year old and I was never a major fan. Radios then proceeded to overplay this album for the subsequent 30 years. It seemed like every third song played on my radio stations was Pearl Jam. I am beyond bored by this music at this point. So that's where I was coming from listening to the album today. Thoughts: it is just as self pitying and whiny as I remembered; the album is actually very cohesive and every song is strong - there's almost no filler; the musical skill and songwriting are there and I can see why this album blew people away; but basically, I just don't really like it/it was ruined for me by overplaying a whiny ex boyfriends who were obsessed with it. Still, it was an interesting exercise listening to it from beginning to end. All those years of hearing singles, I never appreciated how well the album holds together.

It has some tunes on it, but also a lot of filler. A this sound of the times seems a bit bland nowadays

Classic rock, slightly boring but Black is a 5 star song. (much prefer Badmotorfinger, Superunknown, Nevermind etc but of course, Ten is miles better than all these copycat bands that turned up afterwards).

Not bad.

Sounds like Nirvana butt rock to me, but I get why my dad was into this.

Got halfway through. I just can’t get over Eddie’s voice. I know it works for some people, but not my cup o tea. There’s def some good grungy feels happening, but also feels dad rock at its core… love u dad

Even Flow has me reflecting vividly on guitar hero for some reason. I’m also realizing i’ve never really listened to Pearl Jam and I’m not sure I love the vibe

I still think this is their best album.

Skipped.

The best thing about this was it came out when I was at school and I had a friend called Jeremy! Loads of process echo hadn't noticed before

Pretty generic sounding, they never seemed to hit the spot for me, not sure why?

Classic. That girl at uni loved this and played it over and over and I liked her so I listened to it over and over and agreed it was amazing. It's OK.

okay-ish

It's okay. If I had heard this album in the 90s then it may have become a favourite but it's middle of the road for me.

Competent grunge. Not as good as Nirvana (SORRY NOT SORRY). But I like the hits, and the non-hits were fun to discover.

Not as amazing as I remembered. Some good singing. Some 80s rock guitar and some 90s "grunge" guitar. Quite a serious album with grounded stories - no elves, devils or mysticism!

Cool. Great voice. Pretty depressing. Some uplifting section's. Overall a great sound though.

3/5

Ten by Pearl Jam was everywhere the year that it came out. I remember seeing copies of this album in so many college dorm rooms. I never quite got hooked in by the album back then. I think I have tried to listen to this album before. I've heard a few of the songs many times, and they fit into my list of tracks that I'd listen to again ("Even Flow", "Alive", "Black", "Jeremy"). I think that these tracks are on my re-listen list in part because of nostalgia's sake. After listening to this album again, the music as a whole doesn't hold my attention for each track. I think I like Pearl Jam. I have a lot of respect for their work, but I don't imagine playing this whole album again by my own choice.

3.5 ⭐️

Not my favorite thing in the world but a few of these Alive, Jeremy you just can't NOT listen to.

idk overrated but catchy 3.

Not bad, not always my thing but couldn't really fault it

Surcoté de fou et assez moyen Prefs: Once, Alive, Jeremy, Porch Moins pref: Deep

mid considering how famous some of the songs are

not liking this makes me a bad music listener. i know it does. i know pearl jam is very good. but i will not be listening to pearl jam again.

Was ok. Not my usual jam

objectively very solid but i have no emotional connection to it and cannot imagine ever choosing to listen to it

Never listened so much for this band. Good sound. Need to google what menas the grunge movement or Seattle sound. Love to learn about that type of music and lyrics.

Já já, þetta er löngu orðin klassík. Nokkrir bangerar og restin er fín.

Hey, I don't hate Pearl Jam as much as I thought I did!

I don't really like Pearl Jam, but nobody can deny that this album is an even flow of hits and bangers

I thought I'll hate it, but finally, I knew all the songs and It was kind of fun

3 1/2

3.5/5. Nirvana > Soundgarden > AiC > Pearl Jam. Doesn’t quite hit as hard as it used to 🤷‍♂️

I'm just... not a fan of that voice. It's good old rock and roll, and a real nostalgia trip for my early college years, but not a thing If seek out.

This is good, but not essential to me.

A little bluesy boring at times, but a lot of the slower stuff is quite nice. Really like black and Jeremy (already saved) Strong 3

Album trop écouté quand j’étais adolescent, associé aux souvenirs d’apprendre à jouer de la guitare avec mon premier groupe de musique. Surpris de le réécouter attentivement: beaucoup de détails m’échappaient alors.

An album I listened to a million times at university (back when it came out), and don't really need to listen to any more. Definitely the kind of music one outgrows if one is serious about music appreciation and exploration.

4 great songs, but just didn't grab me. Not really a Pearl Jam fan to start with so kinda of a yawner for me

تجربة لطيفة

Decent, but his voice always annoys me.

With such a loud and passionate sound, it is no surprise than "Ten" is considered such a groundbreaker that triggered the tsunami of alternative rock in the '90s. With casual yet headbanging sound, as well as dark subject matters, I think any young rock fan from any decade would enjoy this. I enjoyed it, but something just don't hit it. I enjoyed the loud instrumental outbursts, the solos, the solid yet raspy voice. But somehow, I felt disconnected with the songs. I don't know, but I might describe it as the lack of "approach" that the songs do to listeners. I get the sound, loud and passionate as it is, but why do I always get zoned out and ultimately get bored after enough repetitions of the same sentence? It felt like a performance from a distance, impressive, but not actually played for me. Or perhaps it's because it's too loud? Maybe. The energy seems over the place sometimes. And the more "mellow" tracks are personally better. "Black", "Jeremy", and "Alive" are personal highlights. But I also enjoyed "Once" and "Even Flow". Still, a great must-listen album. Maybe a couple of re-listens will do for me to enjoy this one.

Pearl Jam is a very decent 90s band

It's Pearl Jam. Not much else to say about it. I knew what I was getting into.

Some of these songs went on for too long. Or were they different ones? Hard to tell, they were all so similar.. Had expected more of this album given that it features the classic "Alive".

7/10

I get it, this is, uh, great rock and roll, music. Nevermind grunge. Edward Severson is an amazing performer and coincidentally was part of grunge mania. This record is great grunge and is unfortunately dated to the era. Mr. Severson is still great in spite of the era. Thanks so much for your gravitas in Twin Peaks!

First Listen. Ok. I know quite a few of the songs, but never really listened to the whole album. It is pretty good. 3/5

Ploddy grunge not as cool as nirvana

The highs are spectacular but a lot of filler.

Rock. Låter lite som led Zeppelin

October 20, 2021 Pretty good! I liked "Alive".

I know this one, no need to relisten. It's their only album I can sit through fully

Can never quite get fully into Pearl Jam, but has their best known songs on there.

I've never been big on grunge and had only had limited exposure to Pearl Jam. This album didn't really change my views, I neither loved nor hated it. It's just... Ok. I honestly found the songs a bit too long and a bit too samey. Porch was the standout track that I didn't already know that I saved as a favourite. Shorter and more musically interesting to me. It might be a great album but a couple of repeat plays was enough. I doubt I'll feel the need to listen to this in full again.

Liked it. Couple of bangers i'll def listen to again.

Listened to this growing up. Didn’t get any better

Grunge is always cool. For some reason, I didn't think Pearl Jam went this hard. It's pretty good, I can imagine hearing this album at like a basement party or something

It’s good, but I’ve never been a big fan of Pearl Jam.

Pretty good

Was not feeling it. Eddie Vedder is great but the songs are lacking and pale compared to Nirvana. Further, far too long a run time.

THREE

Had not heard this album by the band. The usual hallmarks of the band are there, but maybe not as refined as their later work.

Grabbed me at times with some unexpectedly Indian (to my ear at least) musical stylings and there are a couple of stand-out songs but after several listens large tracts made no particular impression.

I like his voice and the slower songs. I feel the energy and the theatrical vibe, but it's not my type of music. (6/10) Favorite Tracks :Black

scuffed nickelback :DDDDDD

I've heard some of these songs before, but not many. The songs are mostly laid back and melancholy, a relatively easy listen despite the off-beat and discordant undertones.

I really enjoyed a few of these more than I was expecting to and I will definitely be revisiting :)

Ah yes Pearl Jam. I've tried many times but their anthemic grunge style has just never clicked for me. One of those bands I just can't seem to ever get engaged with and almost always find myself zoning out when listening to them. Can't really express exactly why either but alas sometimes music just boils down to connection and I just don't connect here even if I can appreciate the artistry.

Good energy. Drummer really hitting those skins. I have a bias against PJ as I thought they were a little cheesy and not as hard as the music I listened to in High School. But not bad at all

Tons of hits and a couple of tracks I enjoyed I’d never done before. I can respect it but at times it’s not for me.

I thought I would be more into it than I was it’s got some classic rock band songs but was just okay

like some songs

Mostly enjoyed this, even flow is a classic.

They were never really my jam (see what I did there?) but it wasn’t terrible to listen to, especially with some familiar songs on this album.

Knew all the songs, didn't know they all came from one album! Still not a fan, but good to hear in context.

A pretty good rock album, I knew more songs than I realised. Still not sure about his voice

Having never been a fan of PJ (or grunge), I have to say that this was better than I was expecting. Eddy Vedder's voice can grate on you after a while, but the song writing is good, as shown by the indie radio play they get, and there's even a decent guitar solo or two. As Sue says, they're ok if you don't have to listen to them for too long, which IMO, is true of many bands.

Pearl Jam ist für mich das Paradebeispiel dafür, wie man teils sehr gutes Songwriting durch die Verpackung versauen kann: Vedders jaulende Werther-Schlenker, die Schwanzgitarrensoli und ein unterirdisches, richtig mieses Artwork dieser Platte drücken das Ganze für mich auf ein Nebengleis der 90er.

Not too bad, dont mind it but not something i would seak out

- Ravaging, growly-er voice - Driving, classic harder rock lines - Not really songs id listen to voluntarily

ooh. lil boring and few songs sounded just dated. some of the them had no oomph. ‘oceans’ v pretty tho :)

ass

perfect

3.25

Album was good. Even Flow, Jeremy and Release were highlights. Three is a holder score as I would like to listen to it more to arrive at a final score

It's Pearl Jam. Some great songs on the album, and some boring songs as well.

Good guitar solos. Alive

A couple of memorable stand out tracks but still a bit to Seattle for me.

I should like Pearl Jam more than I do. For some reason, however, they've never resonated with me very well. This album is full of song with which I am familiar, and I like them all... okay. None of them increase PJ's appeal to me, though. 3 stars.

Some amazing songs some better left behind, so good argument to stick with top songs or greatest hits VS full album, a little like Queen.

1991: Alive, Porch

No, Three.

Nostalgia was nice, but listening to the whole album got whiny and old

I don’t like Pearl Jam. I hate Eddie Vedder’s voice. I hate that they compare Pearl Jam and Nirvana or put them into the same category when Nirvana is so much better. I knew a few songs on this album (Even Flow, Alive, Black, and Jeremy).

2.2/5 This is another album that I've heard a few of the hits so many times that I don't know if I like them or they are just familiar. I don't really like Eddie Vedder's voice so I've never really enjoyed Pearl Jam as much as others do. This was pretty average except for the hits

No thank you. Like a ‘90s version of The Doors. Perfectly competent musicians making self-serious songs that I have zero interest in listening to. The quality and affect in Vedder’s vocals that turns some people off are particularly pronounced on this album. It makes sense that most of these songs are reworked from Mother Love Bone songs - they sound like they are in tension with themselves and feel like a collision of genres that is forced rather than intentional. If someone else put this record on, I wouldn’t go so far as to ask them to turn it off. I can’t see myself ever intentionally choosing to listen to any song on this album again.

I am of the opinion that, had Eddie Vedder quit after his first two professional recordings - Hunger Strike from Temple of the Dog and State of Love and Trust from the Singles soundtrack - he would have left a happy legacy. Good songs both. And had Andrew Wood lived, even if the band had recorded nothing else, Mother Love Bone's Apple would be more than the footnote it ended up being. But Ten is a thing that should not be. A broken fire hydrant of grief and latchkey kid trauma being fed from the groundswell of Seattle's scene. It is a rupture. This is my charitable take on Ten's lumbering butt rock, its wandering, widdling solos, and Vedder's rambling rumblings. If 1991 is "The Year Punk Broke," nobody keyed in Pearl Jam. They seem barely even aware of the glam rock most of them played in their previous band. Musically, it is nothing more than the return of the lank-haired jam band - a bit Grateful Dead, some Neil Young, a little from The Who. A raid on the record collection daddy left behind when he went to get milk and cigarettes. There is a sad oedipal desperation in the emotional outpourings from all players. And goodness the songs all feel long. 2.5 What a grand thing it is to get old and wise, eh? The simple pleasures like an early bedtime and good food and drink enjoyed in moderation recommend themselves to you with regularity. You can sit then, with a nice half glass of red at a quarter to nine with your slippers on and enjoy the delicate pleasure of recalling the follies of youth, a little ruefully and yet with the pleasure of feeling remote from these wicked deeds by time and a substantially improved moral condition. Where shame and self-accusation might follow on the heels of a late night of getting drunk and harassing your friends for being Pearl Jam fans at all and, worse, daring to associate the band with the label ‘Grunge’ - years turn blushes into olive wreaths. ‘Well done you for not being like that anymore’ coos your conscience, ‘aren’t you just the olderest and wiserest?’ I haven’t listened to Ten in many years, but in the interim, in search of enlightenment and the fulfilment of penance, I have indulged at least half a dozen other Pearl Jam albums - some more than once and even, for my sins, recent Pearl Jam. In lockdown in 2020 I learned and performed ‘In Hiding’ on guitar and sent the video as tribute to those of my dear friends to whom I had been ungenerous and lubricated enough to subject to my thoughts on this band they loved. Aislinn got the video of course, as did Henrique - to whom I must give special mention here because Pearl Jam are his favourite band; they mean to him what Radiohead mean to me, quite simply everything. Long confronted with recommendation from such Menschen - thoughtful and passionate about music, humans I love and have great respect for - how could I do less in the end than give this Grunge Band a just, sober hearing and more? I repent again for my foolishness - sorry, my friends. And if either of you ever happen to be reading you can just stop here please. I felt really down when I got home today. Today was supposed to be something like my Confirmation Mass - a celebration of a milestone in spiritual maturity. I knew Ten was on this list and had been quite looking forward to sitting down with it and, however the album sounded now to my more informed, more experienced listening, finding that *I* had changed. Well by about halfway through Even Flow I felt about ready to head down to Voodoo, climb up on to a table and offer anyone who liked Pearl Jam a fair dig. For fuck’s sake. This is not terrible music by any means. What is it about these pricks, and this album in particular, that I continue to hate so much? Well I didn’t enjoy listening to Ten today but I held it together, got home safe and had a good old think, at least, about what is ~my~ their fucking problem. The core issue is, probably, regrettably, the ‘grunge’ label. ‘Grunge’ is, at the end of the day, just a label that the press decided to use. Like ‘Britpop’ it is evocative of particular acts linked by a time and place, a way of dressing, of social attitudes, but utterly resistant to any attempt to resolve musical meaning with the disparate acts involved. In musical terms - even in lyrical terms - what have Blur got to do with Oasis, or Pulp with The Verve, really? Equally the ‘grunge’ label compels me to hear Pearl Jam through the filter of music which shares nothing in common with it. I love Nirvana and they have meant almost as much to me as a band could. I care little about the label ‘grunge’ in comparison to how deeply I care for Nirvana’s music, but at the same time ‘grunge’ has always been part of the meaning of Nirvana and Nirvana in turn give the term ‘grunge’ its definitive meaning to me (and to most people to be fair). And the meaning(s) are far beyond musical and everywhere Pearl Jam grind up unpleasantly against them… There is a famous photograph of Eddie Vedder hanging high above the stage from the rigging during a Pearl Jam gig in the early 90s. He performed this stunt a lot at this time - diving into the crowd after - but there is one particularly famous photograph from the back of a stage in 1992. Henrique once joked/not joked that he would like the photo done up as wallpaper so he could have it occupy an entire wall of his living room. It is part of the iconography of ‘Grunge’ no doubt. It is also emblematic of the divisions that make Pearl Jam irreconcilable with Nirvana, and by extension with the label ‘Grunge’. Vedder’s climb might be superficially compared with Kurt Cobain’s wild stage dives - blindly off the stage or destructively into the drum kit. But the fact is that if Cobain had climbed to where Vedder was the assumption would have been that Kurt was surely trying to hurt himself, possibly kill himself - as he had once threatened to do having climbed to the top of a speaker stack during an early Nirvana show. There was no such concern with Vedder - his climbs were implicitly understood as a ‘stunt’; he was showing off his strength, his agility, and his contempt for danger. Bread and butter for an experienced surfer dude. I am certainly not approving Kurt’s self-abuse over Vedder’s showing off, but the difference between the two acts is significant because it is also written into their music. Kurt played guitar and sang carelessly, sometimes destructively - during a solo he would often attack and twist his instrument anywhere his fingers fell. His yells and howls often approximated a note but just as often it was honest screaming. There was nothing much new in this form of expression in rock music - it was well accounted for in the family tree above Nirvana. They were essentially a punk rock band. Pearl Jam were not musical paisan. Listening today to Ten I found it difficult even to digest it as the sound of a 90s band, never mind a grunge band. The obvious musical pedigree for Ten is, it seems to me, two of the biggest rock bands in the world when Ten was released, neither of whom at that moment had released an album in the 1990s - Guns N’Roses and U2. The lascivious, serpentine bass grooves and the languorous palm-mute picking and the showy-sloppy blues guitar solos point plainly to the asshats from L.A. Vedder’s voice, meanwhile, while it sometimes recalls Axl’s patented contemptuous nasal snarl, evokes Bono in those regular little interjections between lines - ‘ugggh’, ‘ah yeah’, ‘mmmm’, ‘aaaa’ - and in the yearning falsetto coo for the stadium crowds (Oceans, Release) and in the stadium-heroic extraction of extra syllables (Be-ee-ee, Sa-hay-hay-haaaaay) for yearning long notes. Porch in particular strikes me as an almost comically even-blend of Guns N’Roses and U2. The Even Flow vocal is richly evocative of Bono, but Deep must take the trophy as the Bonoist cut here. As I observed of Bono’s singing in our review of The Joshua Tree - those things are there because the singer knows he better do something, otherwise the illusion that anything is properly ‘meant’ will fail. Vedder’s lyrics may occasionally be verifiably personal - as on Alive - but that does not make them in any way poetic. Whatever sense he grinds out of them amid his Heroic vowel-ising they have no rhythmic life or musical colour of their own; Alive is a nothing lyric - although several of the lyrics here are worse than that (Garden, Deep). If the lyric of ‘Jeremy’ strikes observers as the sort of thing that aligns Pearl Jam with the nihilism and body horror of the lyrics of Nirvana and Hole - and certainly helps differentiate Pearl Jam from the stadium rockers above - well I think it’s a little meek. Jeremy shies away from the horror of its subject and is certainly more cautious in making an explicit break between the protagonist and the singer than is Polly, for example. Vedder would sooner have himself read as a bystander (or even a violent bully) than as the weird, suicidal outsider. Again, in any case - the song has less poetry than you’d encounter in a high school toilet cubicle. Pearl Jam, like Vedder when he climbs the rigging, have nothing to express or communicate - it’s just about impressing. There is a puerility to their music - in their conspicuously triumphal chord progressions, their showy solos, in the surliness of Vedder’s singing. Simply, boys looking for mass approval - which is nothing to accuse them of, nothing new in rock music there - and undoubtedly their record label approved. Their music is the ceaseless striking of a fashionable pose, like whatever the fuck is going on on the (full) front cover (that is The Edge standing there at the front with his hat on is it not?) Well…whatever these lads thought was ‘fashionable’ anyway. I haven’t even brought ‘Black’ into evidence yet but regardless, Pearl Jam were ’grunge’ because, eventually, they would wear the appropriate clothes and because they were from Seattle of course (excepting the surfer bro that blew in from Southern California to be the frontman) and they had guitars, setting aside what they actually did with them. Perhaps no journalist and very few music fans meant much more than that by ‘grunge’ in the early 90s. But my problem is that, unlike those people a little older than me (Aislinn for example) of whom I am very jealous, I was not ‘there’. By the time I heard my first Nirvana song Kurt Cobain had been dead for 2 or 3 years; ‘Grunge’ was a closed book and the interpretation of its meaning - or lack thereof - was all. I’d much rather have been a paid-up member of Gen X - who presumably wouldn’t have cared - than an ‘Elder (or Geriatric!) Millenial’ fretting over the faultlines in popular music genres on MSN Messenger and vanilla Napster. But more than that - I wish I could have, and could now, hear Pearl Jam for what they are, rather than as a set of musical and ideological offences to the blessed memory of Kurt Cobain. When Appetite for Destruction comes round I will judge it for what it is, not the ways it isn’t Nirvana. I won’t mention GnR being a bunch of chauvinist, racist, corporate rock shitbags, well… I mean I will but I won’t hold it against the music they made, much. The truth is, probably, that Ten isn’t bad - almost bound to be better than most of U2 - but what can I do? I can only speculate what irredeemable trigger lies in my subconscious. The world told me this was Grunge when I already knew in my heart what Grunge was and so, the first time I listened to Pearl Jam, and it was this album of course, all it was to me was ‘is not’ and that’s all Ten has ever been. Perhaps my revulsion even titillated me as another layer of meaningful connection with Nirvana, with their music, with their worldview, even with Kurt who thought Eddie a nice man, but hated his band. Then again maybe the turn was before I even listened/didn’t listen to Ten. I probably took the cd liner booklet out on the bus on the way home, unfolded the full cover photo, took one look at Pearl Jam and knew. Look at these fucking eejits with their hats and their hairdos and clothes that more-or-less fit them, and their hands in the air. These were not my people. Never would be. Lame. So lame. 2/5

Do not like listening to Eddie sing but the instrumentation is great

Notable Textzeile: I see the world, feel the chill Which way to go, windowsill I see the words on a rockin' horse of time I see the birds in the rain, oh Das ist so boring, ich musste mich etwas einlesen um nicht einfach nur zu schreiben, das es langweilig ist, die Songs sehr ähnlich klingen, die Produktion sehr klassisch ist und es vor sich hin Classic-rock-grunged. Jetzt habe ich mich kurz eingelesen und die meisten Songs sind aus Jams von Gitarrist und Bassist entstanden, bevor Drum und Vocals überhaupt in der Band waren. Das erklärt einiges, macht es aber auch nicht interessanter. Auch in den Lyrics steckt für mich nicht viel, erzählen klassische Topoi in oft einfacher, manchmal pseudo-lyrischer Sprache. Ist nichts dran für mich, nur weil es nicht auch noch musikalisch hart nervt sondern halt egal ist eine 2.

Creed ass vocalist

album vibe churrasco na casa do pai divorciado de 50 anos. Banda legal, melhor que guns and roses so nao acho genial. As animadas servem um rock meio balada

Y'a pas assez de doigts sur la pochette pour que je puisse compter le nombre d'affaires qui me tapent sur les nerfs sur cet album.

Generic rock

Not horrible.

very meh, had it on whilst reading and it really just melted into the background

Pearl Jam is Iconic. PJ was also not my favorite alt band. Good lyrics,

mannnnn thisnone isnt for me. its all the singles and it just has a routinized feel to it. i dont need five singles that are maybe two and a half songs. i dont need this particular brand of big man voice. i dont need it. give me spoon man, give me back hole sun.

eh

Whatever man

Very recognizable because my formative years post high school were filled with Pearl jam, smashing pumpkins, Nirvana, all that stuff, but it's all time locked and doesn't resonate with 50-something-year-old me. Was actually a tiring listen all together.

I can definitely understand why people like this, but grunge just isn’t my thing. It’s better than other grunge albums I’ve heard for sure, but still not enough to turn me around.

I must level with you. I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I am their dude and they are my Eagles. I hate their worship of classic rock, I hate their guitar solo's, I hate Eddie Vedder's voice and his faux deep lyrics that are so nonsense that he has to explain what every song is about in some interview. Most of all I hate the way that they serve as kings of alt-rock for people who love all the mainstream rock that they're supposed to be an alternative to. It is some consolation that Vedder and crew aren't bad guys. They seem to broadly care about the wellness of others and have used their platform to promote good things. I can respect that, I just wished any of their music sounded remotely appealing. If you do like classic rock and guitar solos and stadium tours, then you probably think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread and I'd rather Pearl Jam be adored than Motley Crue or something like that. But I'll leave the Jimi Hendrix worship for y'all. Put simply, he sees me out there on the porch, but I don't wave.

Alive is one of the songs of the 90s. Full of yearning for a lost parent. The rest is just ok. Grunge as a genre bar nirvana is dull

Wanted to keep an open mind going into this but I just don't like Pearl Jam. It's way too slickly produced, most of the songs go on for way too long, and the lead singer's constant grunting and moaning is extremely irritating.

Really not for me

Woof. Yeah I dunno. I remember when this came out and Jeremy played on a loop on MTV for like 5 years straight. I'd heard all these songs but never in one loooooooong stretch like this. It was fun to listen to I guess but I truly never understood why they got the grunge label. It's arena rock and it's kinda lame

i really don’t like grunge. it’s like they take everything good about blues and remove it. nu-metal version of blues. lame and sonically boring. i liked even flow but that’s mostly because of the steezus meme.

Okay it was like if someone wanted to unironically listen to rob zombie this is what the would listen to, kind of fun but not my thing i dont think i only got half way through too 😔

I can’t stand the voice

Not quite my kind of music... 2 stars

ok not really my style of music

100% buttrock.

Mid jams

меня удивляет эта двойственность: какой же разнообразный, интересный и живой вокал и как же вокалист вместо пения решает постоянно рычать. с трудом послушала, прям по ушам проезжается. в целом звучание очень яркое, выразительное, я понимаю, почему этот альбом может нравится и вдохновлять. просто не совсем мое настроение. 1,5/5

If you want grunge, choose Pixies, Sonic Youth, Nirvana. Why listen to Pearl Jam?

Shermz - Grunge is not my thing Wenz - It is not my thing as well, but “Black” is my favourite among the songs in this album

I wasn’t expecting this to be such a slog. Even Alive, the Pearl Jam song I thought I liked, went on a bit.

Jeremy

no es mi estilo pero buenos temas

Not really my (pearl) jam. I find the singer annoying, long self-indulgent and uninteresting guitar solos, and not melodic enough for me. The lyrics are interesting and I appreciate the well-produced grunge vibe they found. More enjoyable when they slow it down. Black is by far the highlight for me. Favorite song: Black

Pas trop ma came

Me gusta como suena la banda pero no me gusta el cantante. Normalmente me gusta el rock alternativo pero esta banda no me termina de cerrar, no es que sea mala pero no es para mi.

Estuvo bien, pero no es mi estilo. No hubo ninguna canción que me gustara como para guardarla pero tampoco es que me disguste. Me gustaron los instrumentos, pero los opacaba el cantante que no me gustó mucho. No le presté atención a las letras.

crap

should've been named two, as in two good songs.

im gonna be so honest. i dont get the hype...i thought after song 1 that this would be a no skip album but they all sound the same

Pearl Jam is supposed to be one of the touchstone groups of my generation (late Gen X) but for some reason it’s never resonated with me. I found it hard to get through and had to skip half of some of the songs.

I only liked 2 songs

me gustaron algunos temas, esta muy buena la guitarra pero no aprecio casi nada la voz del cantante, en realidad le daria 2,5 pero la app esta no me deja AME el inicio de garden

Shit rock

Pearl jam isn't my thing

Yo digo que remontamos 4-0 al panathinaikos. Y referido al disco de Pearl Jam tengo que decir que me ha gustado, aunque no lo escucharía al completo, ya que se hace algo repetitivo. Canciones por separado sí que se puede disfrutar y además es una banda que nunca falla

eh

Dull and pretentious. Never got Pearl Jam.

The vocals are too coarse and corny to enjoy the rock elements

I can see this appealing to people but it didn't really do anything to me. The vocals were grating and the actual music was way too focused on having a 'large' sound that I really didn't care for.

I just can't cope with the voice. The songs aren't too bad but the voice is unbearable for large parts of the album.

У группы, конечно, много поклонников, но я не понимаю этих завываний и посредственной музыки.

Just never liked Eddie Vedder's voice + the songs all sound the same

I’ve already listened to this before. It’s decent but definitely not as good as vs. Oceans is a great song. Not as boring as the previous one.

Not a huge fan of this type of 'grunge'. For me, Nirvana define the genre so much better as they were sonically and lyrically so much grittier than their counterparts, including Pearl Jam who still sound like a regular clean melody-driven rock band rather than displaying the more hard hitting chaotic distorted guitar sound of Nirvana. Songs don't have any punch and meander too much and don't have the acerbic bite of Cobain's lyrics. Even Hole's first album wins over 'Ten' for me. I can't bring myself to call this grunge.

Sorry but Rush is like nails on a chalkboard (Geddy’s voice) so it was a tough listen especially since I’m not a real jam band fan

Just rock

There’s nothing inherently bad about this album, but aside from a few standout tracks like “Alive” and “Black,” nothing really sticks with me. I don’t find much replay value in it.

Hard Rock, 1991 -> 2

nije mi ovo nikako, nikako sjelo. glazba načelno pristojna (ali ništa šta obara s nogu, da se razumijemo), ali vokal mi je nepodnošljiv. taj neki američki seljački stil koji mi toliko smeta, a istovremeno previše... metalikasto čak? ne znam. uglavnom vokal dobrano uništio doživljaj. jebiga

4/10

Not my favorite kind of music

Never heard this before. Glad I have. Won’t do so again.

Yo sabía que conocia la voz. Even flow me encantaba del Guitar Hero III. Grunge, un sonido que no acostumbro. De todas formas es escuchable, no aturde no agobia. Buenos Riffs, y canciones que te dejan respirar del ruido. Likes: Even Flow - Black - Release

Un peu trop rock pour moi tres annee 90, la voix du chanteur est incroyable, un peu cassee mais je n’arrive pas a ecouter l’album en entier car ce n’est pas ma tasse de the. Mouvement grunge debut 90. Ils sont super ecoutes (17M) donc c’est un groupe rock qui marque

didn’t do much for md

sweaty butt crack music

Ja dit is echt heel erg niet mijn ding. Ik begrijp waarom mensen hiernaar luisteren, maar ik vind het erg saai. Het gaat maar door en het is een beetje zeikerig. Eerst wilde ik 3 sterren geven, maar irriteerde me zo erg aan de stem van Eddie Vedder dat het er 2 werden, sorryyy. Geen slechte band natuurlijk, maar dan is dat het ook wel voor mij.

Not it 👎

I'm not a huge fan of Pearl Jam - and I still won't listen to them much. Alive and Jeremy are extremely overrated songs. But the rest of the album... actually pretty good. I'll sat 2.5 - round up for pleasant surprise, and also because its not a 2/5 album for sure.

Its fine just not for me

Meh not Pearl Jam fan

Kände igen fler låtar än jag trodde jag skulle göra. Vet inte om det var något positivt. Even flow var ingen favorit på guitar hero, och ingen favorit på skiva heller

Not to my taste

really good instrumentals

Haha he has a funny voice

Not for me at all this, just feel like it over does everything for pure cringeworthy effect. Hope we don’t get any more.

3/10.... 1 point for album cohesiveness, 1 point for vocals (i liked the guy's voice), and 1 point for the one song i actually liked and added to my playlist!

not my cup of tea

Average

started very good, but its so damn repetitive that with every song I downgraded it... let's be mercy full: 2/5

not my jam

Really nice guitar work. Strong singles. 'Even Flow', 'Alive' etc. But the best songs were probably the more introspective mid-album tracks 'Black' and 'Ocean'. A 6/10 because grunge isn't really my thing but some nice songwriting on here.

I hear Perl Jam are popular but I didn't love (or really like this)

Not my usual style in music but loved the lyricism.

Loved

I knew this was gunna happen eventually, and this is totally gunna sink my overall rating of grunge albums. I went through a few nirvana albums, dirt by Alice In Chains, and a bunch of other great grunge albums. But sadly this is where the fun comes to an abrupt and violent end, cause I hate Pearl Jam. I think Eddie bedders vocal delivery is grating and awful. Not to mention it led to EVERYONE and their mom doing those godawful vocals for the next 15 years. Seriously those nothing more grating to me than Pearl Jam which is why I think it’s saying something that my favorite two songs from them are both on this album (king Jeremy and even flow). But even those tracks can’t undo the apocalyptic disaster that was early 2000s grunge/rock music. Horribly overrated album, wildly overrated band.

Solid rock but nothing really memorable apart from the liberally-applied f bombs

Pearl Jam may not be my cuppa tea, so I was hesitant with that first sip, and I had a good few before deciding it really wasn't to my tatse
