Ten

A barnstormer of an album front to back. Heavy but melodic guitars, pounding drums, and Eddie Vedder’s iconic growl combined with introspective lyrics make Ten a grunge classic and one of the best debuts of the 90s.

One outta Ten

A quintessential 90’s rock album. While lumped in with the Seattle grunge bands I think it sounds more straight ahead rock and not as punk influenced as the grunge sound.

Here it is, patient zero for the grunge boom. I picked this album up in early 1991 only because I knew the band would be playing a concert I was going to called Lollapalooza. Back then, Lollapalooza traveled from location to location instead of being fixed like it is today. From the moment I pressed play on the cassette of this new band I never heard of, I was hooked. Little did I know the tremble in the ground would shake the entirety of music. Ten is by far Pearl Jam's best album, and in the spectrum of grunge it is way up there. 4/5.

A masterpiece in any decade

Once- this is a very full song, love the spoken ominous part👍 Even Flow- This is a sad but dramatic look at the life of a homeless man👍 Alive- Wild ride reading the meaning of the lyrics👍 Why Go- Not as compelling and a bit repetitive Black- melodramatic and not a big fan of outro but buildup of atmosphere makes up for it👍 Jeremy- very dark song about a shocking situation Ocean- lighter than most other tracks on this album lyrically, still big sound Porch, Garden- on the surface both of these songs can be seen as reflecting on a failed relationship, with a deeper meaning to be found👍👍 Deep-this is fine Release- long and has an uninteresting outro Great guitar work, I also like lyrics/concepts of songs. Eddie Vedders voice wasn’t my favourite. 4/5

Pearl Jam's Ten never took hold of me the way Nirvana's Nevermind did, but I grew to appreciate its qualities over time. Tunes aside, the songs here are very deep + touching. It's just a pity the album's second half isn't half as good as its first. Don't tell me it's been 30 years, I can't be that old

Unleash the lion!

Should have been called 10/10

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

I enjoyed Pearl Jam when they first entered my radar in 1992. Eddie Vedde’s voice was distinctive and memorable.

An all-time classic.

Before there was post-grunge, there was grunge.

Absolute bangers from front to back. Personal favorite is Why Go

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

Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all time. This is one of a few albums where I can pinpoint where my love of music started. Not one miss on the entire album and I don’t even think it’s their best album.

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.

I’ve never considered myself a big Pearl Jam fan, mainly because I find Eddie Vedder’s singing a bit ridiculous. That said, I actually really liked this. It was just a well put together album with compelling songs, with better musicianship than I tend to expect from grunge . 8/10

8/10. Pretty good, better than I was expecting even, but not a Ten

Has a really consistent sound that wears a little thin. 7/10

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A legendary album! An all time classic that deserves a 5 instantly. So song by song time. "Once" - A great grunge track that just rocks! "Even Flow" - This one speaks for itself. That intro riff is one any self respecting music fan knows from the first second. The one thing I have always wanted from this song was more bass in the mix. Other than that it is a perfect song. "Alive" - Another perfect song. I can't quite put it into words, but the song just speaks to you and it's impactful on many levels. Also a legendary guitar solo, one of the all time greats in an all time great song. "Why Go" - This song makes up for the bass that is missing on the first few tracks. Certainly a deeper cut on the album, but it is still is a good song. "Black" - For a grunge song from a grunge band it is just so melodic and beautiful. Vocally and lyrically it is also particularly gorgeous. If you close your eyes and let the song take you on a ride it is absolutely worth it. And good bass that sits too low in the mix. "Jeremy" - Another guitar intro that everybody should instantly recognize. I love where the bass sits in this song in addition to great guitar and drums. It is also lyrically complex and sad. "Oceans" - This is where we get to the more deep cut tracks. I don't have strong feelings either way on it really. The lyrics/vocal style take me out of it a little bit. Good instrumentation though. "Porch" - For a deeper cut on the album it is a great song. I think the more uptempo energy of it is a bit off-putting compared to the rest of the album. "Garden" - More good instrumentation with mediocre lyrics and vocals. It also contains a good guitar solo that I quite enjoyed. "Deep" - Not bad just by a decent margin the worst song on the album. "Release" - This is a good outro song. I love downtempo songs to end an album and this serves the job perfectly. Don't know that I love the hidden track though. All in all this is one of the all time great albums. The back half is slightly disappointing given just how great the front half is. The front half automatically solidifies it as a 5 star album though. I will always enjoy giving this album another listen.

I've been listening to this album for years, but I made sure to give it another fair listen today. Once upon a time it meant more to me than it does now, and even though it isn't a favorite anymore, it's still great. You've got to give it up for such a strong first album that hasn't lost its relevance over 30 years later.

Alive is nice. Even flow pretty good.

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.

Ok

This is a pure sentiment put in music.

It's been many years since I've listened to Ten. It's really a great album and for being a grunge album in the same era as Nirvana it has a different sound. Songs like Even Flow and Alive are true rock classics. Eddie Vedders singing style is unique and the words are barely comprehensible, which has been parodied to death, but I would say that it adds to Pearl Jam's sound that differentiate it from other bands.

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

It’s just generic rock and roll. It sounds exactly as you’d expect. It’s not the worst thing in the world, but it certainly is cut and dried. It’s nothing special and pretty boring, but if you’re into the aforementioned generic rock and roll sound then to each their own. Favorite Track: Even Flow

Dear God, no. I haven't really listened to a Pearl Jam song since I was in high school. Re-listening to this album really shows why. I hate his "singing" voice, the wild changes in tempo and pitch, it's just a combination paired in hell. The lyrics that he sings are just as boring/saying nothing, but the delivery makes it seem like there should be something there. This isn't even their worst album, but it's still a slog to get through.

Kad Jeremy priča na nastavi dobije četvorku

Ne možeš reć da ovo nije klasik grunge glazbe. To što ja nisam veliki fan njih ne mora značit da je album loš. Nisam ga stvarno dugo slušao, više sam išao na tipa Vs., ali dobro. Danas će se ovaj za promjenu!

Vähä tylsä, muutama iha kova kipale

This is the classic Pearl Jam record. Vedder's voice is so on point.

some really catchy tunes, i enjoyed all of the instrumentation, created a nice audio landscape, had a distinct sound, starts and ends with the same audio landscape so very nice album to loop , nothing bad to say

Oh my god. This is so insanely cheesy and bad. I felt like I was Scott Aukerman on the "Analyze Phish" podcast, with every song starting with me being open minded to it, and the opening instrumentation, thinking "Okay, I can try to get in to this..." and then as soon as the vocals start it's immediately "Nope, okay, what the fuck is this? Seriously?" Absolutely wild to me that this is a whole bunch of people's favorite band. My god...

Three songs already liked from the album (Even Flow, Alive and Jeremy) added Once, Black and Porch. All other songs weren’t bad, no disappointments

this is one of my favorite albums ever since high school! i love every single track on it, but Alive is probably one of the top 10 songs of the 90s alone. the whole album, musically, is just such a perfect mix of grunge with more classic hard rock. and lyrics are great too - incredible storytelling on Jeremy and just pure emotion on Once and Black. i called out the biggest hits here but seriously there's not a single song i dont enjoy and i always come back to stuff like Ocean, Garden or Release Me. the only problem i have with this is that its such a great debut that they never really managed to top it or even come close to it. luckily, in the end Vedder went on to to find himself in more folky things such as the soundtrack to Into the wild. 5/5

Very very good

A decade-defining major debut from the Seattle legends. Top to bottom filled to the brim with all-time classics. The only real question is whether this is grunges finest moment or not?

I’ve never given Pearl Jam much of a chance. I remember playing Even Flow on Guitar Hero and thinking Eddie Vedder sounded like he was singing with a mouthful of marbles. Songs I already knew: Even Flow, Alive, Jeremy Favourites after listening: Even Flow, Alive I enjoyed this quite a lot more than I expected to. Again, the singing style can be a little unintentionally funny at times but it honestly just added to my enjoyment. The music is excellent - you can’t really go far wrong in my eyes if you have plenty of wah pedal in a song. I will say that the best songs from this album were definitely the ones that got made into singles, as the rest fell slightly flatter and didn’t seem to pack quite as much punch. Not to say they were bad, but you know what I mean. Overall, I’d recommend. I didn’t think I really liked grunge music, but I did enjoy this.

nostalgia-arvo on mulle iso, mutta onpa myös oikeasti tosi hyvä levy. alusta pitkälle kunnon hittiputki, taso säilyy! ihanaa.

Kolmen ensimmäisen biisin ajan musiikki toimii vastapainona Eddie Vedderin äänen ja nimen ärsyttävyydelle: Even Flow ja Alive voivat jäädä asumaan päähän viikoiksi. Mutta kun paras materiaali on käytetty, levy tulee riippuvaiseksi kuulijan subjektiivisesta mieltymyksestä sen estettiikkaa kohtaan. Omalla kohdallani tämä merkitsee lässähdystä.

Good music but I am not a fan of grunge.

i love an old school hidden track

Loud music with long guitar solos. Sigh.

I took me so many years to appreciate Peal Jam, and all it took was to sit down and listen through all of Ten without distraction. Could be a bit less classic rock, especially in the second half

Really bloody good

All killer, no filler.

Some very good stand out tracks on this, a bit is a little sleepy though, like the second half of Release.

I just can't do pearl jam, if I could give no stars I would.

Classic

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.

Alive Black Even Flow

A flashback to 90's Seattle is never bad. This grinding innovation of grunge brought music away from the stadiums tours and television sets and dumped it right back into the smokey, dark, basement clubs where it plays best.

One of the best albums that's genuinely great from start to finish.

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

Running on all five cylinders!

I find it hard to listen to this critically as it forms such a part of my teenage listening. Alive has to be one of the best songs ever recorded.

The biggest problem I have with Pearl Jam is Eddie Vedder's voice. I think I'd potentially like the music more if the vocals didn't distract me so much, but as it stands, most of the album just made me slightly annoyed. Up until now, I haven't ever given an album a one-star rating since most of the albums I haven't liked have just not made me feel any type of way, but this one was a little hard to get through. Even Flow is maybe the only song I quite like.

Pearl Jam's debut fits well into their Seattle grunge landscape, but more so than other bands of that scene, Pearl Jam pay homage to their classic rock influences and aren't afraid to throw a 70s inspired guitar solo in the mix. Pearl Jam rock hard, but are not adverse to more exploratory and deliberate work as heard on the final track. This sets them above other more cookie cutter alternative acts that would follow. Eddie Vedder's voice and delivery have been imitated by an entire generation of lesser frontmen, but here, he sounds raw, explosive, and controlled. The lyrics are personal and overall, it is a very enjoyable album.

WHY WHY CAN'T IT BE OH CAN'T IT BE MINE

No extra listening needed! A true 5* classic.

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).

Surprisingly, this took me two listens to get back into, but I can now confidently give this top marks. This and Alice in Chains' Dirt are my two favourite 90s grunge albums.

I was overwhelmed by this when it came out and it may be the album I have listened to the most. Still great in every sense.

Not bad.

One of the best ever. Amazing album all the way through. Mookie Blaylock though?

Slow grunge vibe I already heard Alive but it was nice to hear some more of their music Would listen to again

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.

Really the best 90’s Hrunge album ever.

I've referred to my other half for judgment and she reliability informs me it's a cracker that reminds her of her teenage years.

A Classic. Still listen to this regularly

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.

Great album, love all the hits, the rest are good but a tad forgettable.

okay-ish

What can I say, an absolute classic. This was first CD I ever bought. Listened to this front to back to many times to count. One of my all time favorite bands. Perfection.

I wouldn't call myself a Pearl Jam fan but know several of their songs. I had never listened to this album front to back. I now have listened to it 3 times. Best album we have been dealt so far.

I've listened to this album about 1000 times.

Top tier

First ever full listen. Amazing complete album with variety I wasn’t expecting.

4. one of the few albums from the 90s that i enjoyed more now.

Classic. Have owned in 3 formats, and still a good listen all the way through.

I had heard close to half the album prior but I had a solid experience, about as pearl jam as it gets

Surprisingly to similar to metal/hard-rock from that era, especially in first few tracks. Black is a great song. Highlight of the album. Love it. Overall a solid album, well written, performed, recorded and mixed, but I was not terribly interested for the most part. Vocals stand out the most, but not in a good way, and everything else is almost boring. Certainly would not be in my own top 1001 albums.

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.

Good rock

Not bad

Making fun of Eddie Vedder's singing is fun but this album brings the hits

Every song on this album feels unique but consistent at the same time. The vocals always match the tone of the song perfectly. There's so many good build ups and the release is always well executed. My only complaint is that a few tracks just go a little longer than they need to.

5.5 One of the greatest of all time.

Iconisch album, even flow, alive en black zijn zo'n sterke nummers.

sterk werk met heerlijke classics

incredible album

Classic, Seminal 1990s album. Not one bad song on it.

Best part of this album is when I accidentally searched for Pearl Ham

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

Nice

Awesome album that brings back happy 90’s memories.

I just wanted to listen to My Bloody Valentine or Nirvana after Ten. Sorry, Pearl Jam. I'm remembering why I never got into you, even back in high school when I thought it was very ~important~ to listen to "the canon" albums, which, much like these albums so far, were mostly rock albums by white guys (or at least what I discovered on music blogs in the early '10s and Reddit). Pearl Jam, I think your songs sound the same. Well most of them... I liked the intro and outro songs on this album, mostly because they felt different. I really could feel the concert lights rising and dimming with each. The outro song, Release's, bass line transition was ethereal. But all in all... Ten made me want the grungy, mystical guitar sound of Loveless and the lyrical intensity of Nevermind instead of Pearl Jam's version of both. Yeah... don't know why I never could get into Pearl Jam. There are great guitar shredding moments, of course, which I did appreciate. I recognize this as a good album. Just not my cup of tea. I'm sorry, Eddie Vedder, I think your voice might just annoy me.

85/100: This is just a fantastic album nearly all the way through. I say “nearly” because the album does drag a bit between “Jeremy” and “Release,” but every other part of this album is so packed with incredible songs that this lull is more than excusable—like a lull in conversation between two good friends, it’s bound to happen and can even be comforting. To have songs of the caliber of “Even Flow,” “Alive,” “Black,” “Jeremy,” and “Release” all on the same album is mind-boggling, and for it to be on their debut album is even more impressive. Eddie Vedder’s voice is just so soothing to listen to, although it is a part of the reason this album isn’t receiving a higher score than it is. I think a lot of the songs on this album aren’t necessarily great songs in and of themselves, but sound as great as they do solely because of Vedder’s style of singing. With any other lead vocalist on this album, I think it instantly becomes a lot closer to mediocre.

5/3 Edderd Vedderd

Grunge, 1991. Arguably in the top 3 of the greatest grunge records of all time with Nevermind by Nirvana and Superunknown by Soundgarden and one of the best debut albums ever both musically and commercially. It contains huge hits like "Alive", "Even Flow", "Black" and all the tracks are just amazing.

pearl jam are a weird one, they masquerade as grunge when the only thing remotely grunge about them is Seattle. they're surprisingly cheddar and their reputation is weirdly high considering the quality of their output. my conclusion for why they're so big is they sit in a void between a whole load of genres which probably means they get people fans from all of them. sort of grunge, fairly rock, sort of metal, sort of indie. that said for me their whole reputation lies on this album. i have listened to all of their albums as my mrs loves them, but this is by far and away the only one worth listening to.

Pearl Jam are the kind of band who eat cheese on the toilet. They smother cheese all over their filthy bodies and suck eachother off through cheesy glory holes. You know I'm right.

I just don't care guys.

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!

Great lyrics and very textured. Very emotional and well played album

It was just okay.

Small amounts of Pearl Jam are fine - and by small amounts I mean a single song, not a whole album. It lacks interest for me, plus too many "look how many notes I can play" guitar licks.

My type of music - chill

Magnificent, one of the top albums of all time.

• I already knew Once, Even Flow, Alive, Black and Jeremy • Every song I didn’t already know is very good. • Every song was added to my main playlist • Release sounds a lot like Elderly Woman • The hidden track after Release is very cool sounding and very different from the rest of the album, though I wish it was its own track on Spotify for when I want to listen to Release on its own.

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

3/5

Love me some Pearl Jam. This album was boss.

Nostalgia tinted.

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.

A personal favourite. A grunge masterpiece full of standout tracks. Still remember getting goosebumps at a track the first time I heard the album.

Best debut album ever.. By the best live band of all times.

Never listened to a full pearl jam album before, but this was great

Had the chance to see this tour in a small Philly venue. Didn’t go! Such energy, one of my musical concert-going regrets.

Wow! It’s been a minute since I’ve listened to this. Just incredible. “Once” is such a heavy track. It’s got the kind of hard rock operatics you hear on a metal album. Killer stuff. But this is more than hard rock. There’s so much passion and emotion in these songs. Pearl Jam isn’t just rocking out for the sake of rocking out (nothing wrong with that btw) — there’s an intensity of feeling, the intensity of life, that drives the energy of this music. Damn — “Deep” is such a wild track. After the mega hits (“Even Flow,” “Alive”), this might be my favorite. So intense. So good. I’ve listened to very little Pearl Jam in the past and revisiting this album is making me realize what a mistake that is. I’ll need to dive deeper for sure.

WHEW! Yes, an automatic 5/5 stars, fo'sho, both for the nostalgia cred and also for how many damn hits are on here. We have definitely watched many live shows (twice actually in person, mostly via Youtube) and Eddie Vedder will forever go down in history as the most energetic (and handsome) front man ever. I can't believe that this was their FIRST album! Freakin legendary.

Instant 5/5. One of my favorite records of all time, easily in my top 10. What a DEBUT! Just absolutely absurd how many hits are on this: - Even Flow - Alive - Black - Jeremy Even the non-huge radio hits are incredible, like: - Once - Why Go - Oceans - Porch - Garden (for real if you haven't listened to these you need to. "Porch" might be my favorite- the unplugged version is A+) It's arguably the best album by one of the best bands ever and easily one of the best rock albums of all time- all in my opinion.

Great album

I know a few songs by Pearl Jam and I was pleased to see that most of them are on this album. I really enjoyed it and will definitely listen more. Really solid album.

This album is a giant bowl of "Oops all bangers"

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.

Vooral goede tragere nummers (Release / Garden)

Bailed after 3 songs. Utter drivel.

What a bloody awful racket.

Jeremy was a revelation to me - I'd never heard Pearl Jam before - completely brilliant, so I was looking forward to this album. Disappointed to find this isn't the mix/version I'd heard and it's not as good. Some great tracks, though: Release is a standout. Eddie Vedder's vocals are amazing. As they say, 'it doesn't get Eddie Vedder than that'.

Wow most of these songs were about 2 mins too long, some too repetitive and just a bit cringe really. Not my bag. Luke detested it!

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

Somewhat difficult to rate. It's an important record in defining a genre. It's super influential. It's also not really all that great. Some of the things it influenced were quite bad; by which I mean that without grunge there would be no post-grunge which is some of the vilest, dog shit music in existence. Nirvana is to blame too but we all know that Pearl Jam played their part There are good songs. The singles are all pretty great, except for Alive which I could do without. Jeremy and Black are just plain gems. Evenflow is good but like the other 3, I'm kinda burned out after hearing it 10000 times in my life. Aside from the singles there's some ok songs such as the opener, but nothing as good as Jeremy or Black. I feel like I'm rambling at this point. It's a record that's more important than it is good, though there are gems to be found. I personally think they have much better records than this. A 4 out of respect, but its more like a light 3 to my ears

It feels overplayed, but thats just because its such a great fucking album that it cant help but be in your head all the time. One of the all time top albums of all time. Literally every single track is amazing - 5/5

Influential AF! Oceans, and Deep 🙌

Took me over 25 years to start enjoying this album and pearl jam altogether. learned to appreciate them for what they.... not the kind of band that I can listen to for too long though.

This album has been encoded into my autistic mind DNA since I was 13. Can go years without hearing it, then put it in and sing along with every lyric, every epic guitar solo, every kickass drum fill. A rock masterpiece.

Once - 9/10 Even Flow - 6/10 TOP 1 Alive - 10/10 Why Go? - 9/10 TOP 2 Black - 10/10 Jeremy - 7/10 Oceans - 6/10 Porch - 10/10 Garden - 8/10 Deep - 9/10 TOP 3 Release - 10/10

Formative album for me. Listened to this on repeat in Dad’s car for YEARS! First half of the album is filled with great songs and then I feel it slows down in the second half.

This album reminds me of being at school and listening to it on my Sony Walkman!

I can't deny that this album is really influential and important, but even on a full listen I don't love Pearl Jam. That said, I had no idea how many hits were on this album alone, kind of mind blowing in that way. As an album it's enormous, so it gets a higher rating than I would give Pearl Jam alone.

Nicht ganz meins, einige okaye/gute Momente dabei aber insgesamt zu lang und gleichförmig.

physically couldn’t listen to this soz not my vibe at all

Pearl Jam is one of those bands that came in, dropped an incredible debut record, and never was able to follow up with anything nearly as good. It is a bit of a shame, really, but considering how much I enjoy this album I will take it as it is.

Enjoyable enough, but the core problem with a lot of the 90s alt rock and grunge is bloat. I'd probably rate it a lower 4 because I do like it, but it is not quite on par with the other 4s I have, so it gets a bit of an asterisk *.

Ten is one of those quintessential rock albums of the 90s. Coming around the time of Nirvana, it's another album that helped the grunge/alt-rock movement shoot straight into the consciousness of the mainstream - no matter how much they were maligned as sellouts - eventually even outselling Nevermind. The lyrics tend to lend themselves to heavier subjects, pretty much standard for that alt-rock scene. What brings this album alive is the anthemic sounds on tracks such as Jeremy & Alive. Best: Jeremy Worst: Release

I wasn't too heavily into the whole grunge scene, but this album is just amazing. One of the best debut albums of all-time. I'm partial to the more nuanced songs on here, for example Black and Jeremy, but the whole album is great. I knew right away that this was a band with staying power beyond most of the grunge bands that were hitting it big at that time. 4.5 stars, rounding up to 5.

I already have this album on vinyl, it’s pretty good.

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

mid considering how famous some of the songs are

Were these guys the originals? I don't know as this scene is so incestuous and fatuous now with claims and counterclaims. These bands seem to be legion and identical and spawn a multitude of self-important fans and even the people who give this a single star only do it as a reaction against the whole scene regardless of class or content. But the music isn't bad and it's well structured and professionally played and I guess this IS kinda the beginning and to be honest and I do know half the songs and actually do like them so what more is there to be said?

You know I've never really sought out Pearl Jam or considered myself a fan at all but listening to this album I realize how much of it I've absorbed via cultural osmosis and just how much nostalgia I have for it. These are some absolutely killer grunge songs that still hold up today.

this is the worst stone temple pilots cover band i've ever heard

31 years on and still a monster, one I've warmed too much more in my forties and fifties

Always loved his voice and this is a true masterpiece

Amazing album, in the dawn of grunge! Great songs like Alive, Black and Jeremy. All in this album is solid, harmonic in its own chaos.

Too 90s rock for my taste. Seems like something that would appeal to a bunch of middle aged white men.

How was one album so freaking good?

Muito bom.

Still don't like Pearl Jam but at least I gave the album a chance

That's a ten

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.

Perfect fucking album.

Great album. Very cohesive. Definitely worth going past the first four songs (the most famous Pearl Jam songs).

This is one of the big two albums that really got the ball rolling for the grunge movement - the other one being, of course, Nirvana's Nevermind. However, this album is to Nevermind as Rock is to Punk. I prefer the more rock oriented sound that's prevalent here - great songs, great lyrics, great melodies, great riffs. And while I'm not a big fan of the grunge genre, this album is one of its finest momens. 4/5

Was ok. Not my usual jam

J'avais pas écouté cet album depuis presque .... 30 ans!! C'est sorti j'avais 13 ans et j'avoue que j'avais embarqué dans la vague. J'aimais mieux Vs,l'album d'après, et Vitology qui était vraiement plus weird . Celui-ci est assez solide pareil pour un premier disque, ça paraît qu'il a mûri longtemps. La réalisation est plus poussée qu'à mon souvenir et elle en souffre par l'excès d'overdubs de guits et le son du drum est assez dégueulasse avec les oreilles d'aujourd'hui. Je commençait à jouer de la bass pis la fretless attirait mon attention. À part quelques pièces où tout les mauvais côté de cet instrument me gosse royalement en général c'est juste, pas trop de vibrato Caronstyle et ça donne un son aux compositions pas mal plus classic rock qu'à mon souvenir . J'avais jamais entendu le Rhodes et tous les ptits reverse delays de voix pis d'harmoniques de bass, etc Bref, 2 ans après je rencontrais Primus et je n'y suis plus jamais retourné 😄 Une étoile bonus nostalgie

Mon album préféré du grunge. Moins raw que Nirvana, mais plus élaboré. J’adore la voix d’Eddie Vedder. Il y a quelques trucs qui vieillissent mal comme la fretless, mais bon. J’y retourne souvent.

Quand même, tout un premier album. Sur 10 chansons (si on ne compte pas l'outro qu'est Release), il y 6 hits. Je n'ai pas embarqué à l'époque. J'étais dans des choses plus aggressives comme Metallica et Slayer et Nirvana me parlait plus. J'ai fini par entendre les hits un peu plus tard, notamment dans Rock Band. Grâce au streaming, c'est à ce moment que j'ai pris la peine d'aller écouter l'album et de constater que c'est vraiment un bon album. Il y a certaine sonorités qui datent comme le mix de drum et son tuning avec un snaire vraiment tight et le reverb à certains moment, mais les chansons sont vraiment bien structurées et paraissent rarement longues. Un classique des années 90 qui passe bien le temps et qui a définitivement sa place sur cette liste.

Tämä on se Pearl Jam mitä ei fani on tottunut kuulemaan. Vahva levy ja useita hyviä biisejä.

Eipä ollu tullu kuunneltua aikasemmin kokonaan tätä levyä ja täytyy sanoo, että kova kokonaisuus. Loppupuolelta vähän laimeni, niin ei ihan vitostähtiin yllä

A classic ! Great intro to 90s jam out grunge

Fantastic album, not a weak track on it. Jeremy and Alive always seem to take the plaudits, but I’ve always preferred some of the more subdued tunes like Black, Oceans and Release. A grunge classic!

Nice, I enjoyed this one. Good vocal delivery, good guitars and decent songs. A fun album that can justify more than one spin. However, it's not all that original or creative enough to really be great.

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

Iconic. Banger.

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.

Genre: Grunge 4/5 Another 90s Seattle-based grunge classic, Ten by Pearl Jam hits all the right notes, both heavy and soft, throughout its run time. While their sound has been somewhat parodied over the years, most notably for Eddie Vedder's distinct singing style, which spawned legions of soundalikes in the genre, this album is filled to the brim with some of the most essential rock tracks of the 90s. Even after we've listened to Alive and Even Flow, Pearl Jam gives us their best from beginning to end. Beyond the aforementioned tracks, two of the biggest rock singles of the decade, we're gifted with plenty more great tracks. The 6-track run to start the album is tremendous, with Black and Jeremy rounding out one of the best opens to an album in the entire decade. It makes the second half sound a bit stale in comparison, but it still has some pretty good jams. While Vedder is an acquired taste, his vocals aren't nearly as overbearing or annoying as a Bob Dylan or an Elvis Costello is. His voice sits on top of the hard rock arrangements like the missing puzzle piece, never taking away from the quality of the production behind him. Overall, a resounding success, and an album that'll be replayed for years.

nä du.

Immense. Eddie Vedder's vocals are full of feeling as they explore several deep subjects, soundtracked by some pulsating rock riffs.

4.75

Очень добротный альбом. Это именно тот альтернативный рок, который мне по душе. Оказывается, я даже слышал одну композицию из него раньше. В целом, впечатление от него хорошее.

One of my all-time favorite albums!

a genre defining classic. Hard to overstate it's impact and does hold over time!

Now this a band I've always kinda liked but never deep dived into them. Pretty good.

There is no doubting that Pearl Jam is a popular band. I would not describe myself as a Pearl Jam fan or really a fan of grunge music, but I had a pulse in the 90s so I know the music and I was familiar with a lot of the songs on the album. The album was just under an hour. I don't think I will listen to the whole album again, but some of the songs will get replayed and they aren't bad. The album is better than other albums that have received 3s so this will get a 4.

When this album came out I listened to it non-stop for months. I'm happy to say that this mostly holds up for me. At the very least, the music is ambitious in a way that a lot of the copycats after them weren't. It veers into self-seriousness a little but somehow manages to stop short of it. Or the worst of it, maybe. This is another album where the vocalist is what pulls me through - it doesn't really matter what gobbledy-gook he's singing, I believe it.

Runs out of puff a little on the final furlong, but for fans of classic rawk-oriented grunge, this is top notch. Bangers sprinkled all over the place on this platter. I will say this - as impressive as Vedder's voice is, I do find it a little bit of a battering ram at times. A little more colour in the singing and instrumentation might have pushed this into five star territory. Still - all very listenable!

Yeah, not a ton to say about this one. I was pretty much the right type of kid at the right time for this, though for whatever reason I mostly checked out of hotel Pearl Jam after the next album. I think it's because, as mentioned, at the end of the day they're primarily a band riffing on classic rock and the thing that truly differentiated them was Vedder. As he tamed down his vocal theatrics over the years (for the better, in a lot of instances) I guess that thing that made them different to me stood out less and less and my interest just went elsewhere. Either that, or the songs just weren't as good as they are here. The singles hold up and I particularly enjoyed hearing "Oceans" again. I forgot about that song. It's good. Fun fact: a year or two ago David Gordon Green told me he went to the same school in Texas where the "Jeremy" kid shot himself. I think he said they closed down the room to classes for a couple years, but everyone knew about it. Maybe Andy knows more about this six degrees of Kevin Bacon, but that's all I got.

On the quality of songs alone, it's a pretty clear 5. Only Porch (and if it counts, the instrumental Master/Slave) I didn't like. Everything else (except Deep) is very good at least. Jeremy and Black are very moving songs, with the latter probably being the best on the whole album. Once and Even Flow are very aggressive in nature, and Alive is one of those songs that appears to be hopeful, but Eddie Vedder's lyrics suggest otherwise. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the murky sound quality.

Listened to on 4/22 4/5 Favorite song: alive, black Oh hell yes give me all the Pearl Jam in its finest 90s rock - genuinely so good

I feel bad for not liking this but it’s just so depressing and dark

Loved this as a kid. Now it sounds rather overwrought and overproduced. I tried listening to the "redux" mix instead, but it was also dated, just in a different way. Back to the original murky mix and got through it. Enjoyable trip down memory lane. Don't think I'd have liked it as much if I was coming to it fresh, but because of my history with it, this album gets a glowing 4 stars.

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

I'm really not a Pearl Jam fan, but I have to admit that this album is excellent. It's an incredible start for the group (and they will never do better in my opinion), which offers memorable songs like Once, Even Flow, Alive, Black or Porch. These tracks are particularly powerful on stage. Gotta be honest and give it its due : a good rating.

3 1/2

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

One of the best albums of the 90's, with probably the best song of the 90's (Jeremy). Feels unlike any other debut album. Not a bad track, and sound that is consistent with great production. Stand out tracks: Even flow, Alive, Black, Jeremy, Release

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.

Can't fucking stand Eddie Vedder's voice, sorry. It's not a bad album by any means but it was fucking difficult to listen to for me.

23rd March 2022 Listened in the office on a sunny day! Quiet evening, watched the Adam project on the last day of the juice cleanse. Not bad, but doesn't ever hit the heights of Yellow Leadbetter for me. 2.5 if I could. Reminds me of Andy.

I'm familiar with Pearl Jam even though they aren't an artist I play on the regular. I think I've understood why i'm not really a Pearl Jam listening, after the music played through their songs, I didn't realise they were all different..I actually thought it was just one massive track rather than individual songs.

Listened Before? Y This one! This is the good stuff! I love this album. It's front-to-back bangers and 90s nostalgia. This album FEELS like 1992. I love it. Added to Library? Y Songs Added to Playlist: Even Flow, Once

Surprised by this one. Never listened to it on release apart from the singles. Will definitely return to this and possibly couldnbe a five star after further listens.

love this album, one of my all time faves

Incredible. The highpoints alive/black/even flow/jeremy are great, but the low-key ending of the album really does it for me.

Een klassieker, vroeger had ik er niet zoveel mee maar nu kan ik er goed naar luisteren. Fijne stem

Ik ben niet de grootste fan van Pearl Jam, maar dit is natuurlijk wel echt een briljant album. Wel de remastered versie geluisterd, die vind ik toch echt wel een stuk beter klinken.

Van top tot teen geweldig. Nog steeds. Zonder deze band was ik nooit muziek gaan maken.

Een van de beste platen in mijn collectie. Wat een energie! Dit opende echt veel muziekale deuren voor mij begin jaren 90. Pearl Jam op hun best, toen Eddie zich alleen maar met de zang bemoeide.

Dit album heb ik als tiener grijsgedraaid, gek genoeg kon ik er nu meer van genieten 🙂. Lekker tempo en energiek.

The really should be a Ten rating

Teenage vibes for me, I loved grunge when I was 16, This was one of my favourite albums. I give it 5. For me, this is THE grunge album.

I tried to stay away from Pearl Jam for as long as I could. Not growing up in the era when Pearl Jam reigned supreme and Eddie Vedder's wavy locks were posted on the walls of teenage girls everywhere, the plethora of Eddie imitators (mainly Creed) had turned me off to the idea of actually ever enjoying them. But on a Sunday at Reading 2006 I couldn't resist their genius any longer. We actually had no intention of watching them but the alternative was Maximo Park and that was miles away! Only knew about 2 songs but they completely blew me away. I then went on to become mildly obsessed with 90s pearl jam for a bit and this is still their finest work. 5/5

Great album with amazing singles however the rest of the tracks are significantly worse. As a whole Ten is still very good if a little inconsistent.

Perfect, or close enough. Bit of a shame Spotify didn't have the couple of bonus tracks on the UK cd version, but still one of my favourite albums of all time. Loved it!

Inarguably one of the best debut albums of all time, regardless of genre.

Didn't listen this time, but I remember only really liking Alive and the song about Jeremy from past listens...

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Perfectly constructed with poetic verses mixed into rock hits and brilliant melodies.

First time of Listening and not a fan when I started. But can see some merit in the lyrical content of the album, but the music for me is standard late 70's-80's-90's guitar based middle-heavy rock. Not to my taste but can see why a new generation of Rock fans were drawn to Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. "Release" is my favourite on the album. Not in my collection to be totally honest. But I suppose I can see why it is here.

Nevermind's more stadium-friendly cousin in the grunge wars. Maybe holds up a bit better than that one? Listened to the Brendan O'Brien remix. Unsure if that makes the record sound more or less "90s" as a result. Had forgotten how "metal" the guitar work here is. "Master/Slave" is still an unnecessary indulgence.

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

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Black, Oceans Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Nothing intelligent nor funny to say about this album, I just don't care for grunge. Guitar sludge.

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.

Muito bom!

I don’t know this, other than Alive. To me the sound is a lot more anthemic stadium rock than grunge, the lyrics are grungey though & Eddie Vedder does have a good voice for that though. It’s not my cup of tea, but it is well done.

Really a 4.5/5 but feeling generous today

David Browne from Entertainment Weekly 12/13/91: With the release of Pearl Jam’s debut album, the so-called ”Seattle Sound” has become, for better or worse, institutionalized, a lumbering monolith waiting for the Next Big Thing to usurp it. Ten abounds with everything you’d expect from a band from this part of the country — mountain-high guitar riffing that tips its Northwestern hat to Led Zeppelin; misty, elliptical lyrics that only hint at their subject matter; the primordial wail of the wah-wah guitar; and the lugubrious, druggy ambience of a young hippie commune. While there’s nothing wrong with any of that, you’ve heard it all before on records by fellow Northwestern rockers like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and the defunct Mother Love Bone (some of whose members are in Pearl Jam). Like many of its Seattle cohorts, Pearl Jam also flail about in search of a groove and a song. Occasionally, as in the single ”Alive,” they find both. More often, they lose themselves in a sound that only goes to show that just about anything can be harnessed and packaged. B-

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.

Icônico

Not quite impressive

Better than average rock - 3.8

Seemed a harmless little fuck

Almost made me a fan of pearl jam

Penso dovrebbe piacermi, eppure non mi piace.

Enjoy Pearl Jam...it had been a long time since I had listened to Ten cover to cover. Was surprised on how much filler there was. The hit songs are HUGE but it doesn't wow me as a complete product. 3.5/5

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

Pedestrian stuff. How this mob get compared to Nirvana in any meaningful way is beyond me

It was a solid album, good lyrics and strong songs. The standout to me was the guitar work.

This is simply a gem. Lyrics, voice, sound, atmosphere - everything is absolutely perfect! Black and Jeremy are the best songs of 90s! Also one of my favourite albums ever! Has been listened thousands of times! Total Masterpiece!

Decent, but his voice always annoys me.

Grunge classic. I was never into Pearl Jam as a kid, but I can see why they were so highl my regarded.

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.

Classic grunge. Possibly best grunge album ever.

Wasn't looking forward to listening to this one but pleasantly surprised. There's too much filler with a low level of memorable tunes or/and riffs. However 'Alive' is a brilliant 5 star track so I nearly forgive them all.

Pearl Jam is a very decent 90s band

An album full of bangers.

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

big numbers, mediocre music

Amazing album!! Fucking precious!

I got bored after the fifth track

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".

This sounds like the same song over and over again. I enjoyed Even Flow, but nothing else (no, not even Alive, fight me).

Not a bad song. Stylistically the same. This makes it all very similar, but because the songs are good it does not feel too repetitive.

Great album great memories

The rise of grunge, the 90's in an album. Eddie Vedder has a raw and raspy voice. Nice progression in the chords and melody. I can hear a Hendrix influence in the clean guitar tones. So beautiful.

Oof, this one didn't do much for me. I acknowledge it's a good album, it was just VERY much not for me. Fave track: Even Flow, I guess?

Rocking out to this brought me back to high school.

Probably just not my jam. I listened to it straight without actually hearing it.

So. Many. Bangers. This album took me back to middle school so hard I broke out in pimples during the opening chords of "Even Flow." There are a few tracks that didn't age all that awesome but, overall, it's a freaking killer album.

This is one of the most important albums of my life. If time travel exists, it should be this album. I still remember when I listened to Black for the very first time. I was going through a depressive episode and feeling unable to get out of it. This is also the first album I analyzed with my daughter; I went song by song, read the background of the recording sessions, all the lyrics and their multiple interpretations. It was an attempt to pass the torch to the next generation. It was a father-daughter ritual.... I loved this record...

4.5

Forma e estabelece caráter por todo a vida.

7/10

Don't quite know why I never listened before, love it!

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!

grunge muy lento

Some of the true classics of that era.

I dig it

A bit of filler, but 4 stars on the backs of Alive, Black and Jeremy.

Perhaps the power of nostalgia and the space of decades but this was a very enjoyable listen for me which I wouldn’t necessarily have expected a handful of years ago

Fantastic album. Probably one of the most well-known albums of the decade. Great polished songs from front to back. The big layered guitars and Vedder's vocals compliment each other well.

Still grows on me even after 20 years since its release with the intersection of grunge alternative and heavy metal. Just solid Rock vocals, beats, energy.

Flash in the pan. One-shot album, never heard from again. Seriously, I remember when this came out. I was in college and I gravitated towards it pretty quickly. You could not unhear this album; it was everywhere. Even the non-single, album tracks were played ALL the time. I tend to think of the album as overplayed, but every track on there (even Jeremy) is solid. It was their second album that solidified it for me “Go” is just a great opener. But this is where it all started.

I still remember first hearing Jeremy and then being surprised to find out Eddie Vedder wasn't 40+ years old. There are very few albums like this that not only have no weak songs but also changed music. I put together best of rock lists for each year of the 90's over the summer and it is amazing how different rock music was in 1990 versus 1992-93 a year after Ten and a few other pivotal albums from late 1991 (e.g., Nevermind, Badmotorfinger). Maybe short-lived, but it stomped out cheesy 80's hair rock / forced rock to be better. No doubt bands like the Pixies, Melvins, and Replacements paved the way for bands like Pearl Jam, but the sound was perfected on Ten. Hard edged, pulsing sounds and lyrics that make you think. Everyone likely knows the first 6 tracks (Why Go and Once are just as good as the mega-hits) but the last 5 tracks are also impressive - if you like the frenetic Even Flow, try Porch; if you like the brooding Black, try Release; if you like the multi-layered Alive, try Garden. An all-time classic.

This is a perfect album, start to finish. It holds a special place for me, because most of my life I've been listening to decades-old music and this was probably one of the few times in my life I was listening to the most popular music of the day at the time it was popular. Everything about it is great. I remember Even Flow was the first song I heard off the album and was just blown away by the power and groove of the song. Alive is an anthem. Jeremy was overplayed but still holds up as a classic. The non-singles are all classics in their own right. The music and lyrics are powerful throughout and the band members are all outstanding. McCready and Gossard provide an amazing one-two guitar punch. Always loved Jeff Ament's bass style (especially the fretless aspect - I just learned that he was a fan of Japan's Mick Karn) and the drums drive the album along. Of course, a million people tried to sound like Eddie Vedder afterwards, but he remains an original. I find it interesting that the band members feel the album was over-produced - I still think it sounds great - just the right mix of polished and edgy. This will always remain my favorite album of the grunge explosion.

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

Absolute bangers on this Jeremy, evenflow, black, and alive. Everything on this is super solid.

Easy 5

Have never listened to a Pearl Jam album. Sat down and listened to the whole album all the way through while writing this. 1. Once 3:51 - I didn't really like how Eddie Vedder's voice hit me on this track, which ruined the song for me. 2. Even Flow 4:52 - This song brings me back to my guitar hero days. Good song with a nice personal nostalgia bonus. 3. Alive 5:40 - This song has been on the radio for 30 years straight which is a turn off, but I gave it a chance and was impressed by the guitar solo at the end. Still won't look forward to hearing this song on the radio for another 30 years though. 4. Why Go 3:20 - Interesting guitar rift which the song is built around for an otherwise uninteresting song. 5. Black 5:42 - Placed well in the album for a slow down of tempo. Was writing that this was my second favorite song so far after Even Flow but then the ending the song came on. 6. Jeremy 5:18 - Alright song. also has annoying ending. 7. Oceans 2:41 - Good variety of sound, another slower tempo song. Pretty good. 8. Porch 3:30 - Not a bad song. Continues the trend of just repeating the same thing over and over at the end of the track for 30 seconds. Just end the song bro. 9. Garden 4:58 - Intro into the main body of the song was cool, and like the transition back for the interlude. Might be my favorite song on the album. Definitely the most interesting track. 10. Deep 4:18 - Not a great track. Interlude is the best part but the main guitar rift is too bad to save. 11. Release 9:06 - Fuck, a nine minute song to end the album. You're really going to do me like this Pearl Jam? Slow but a decent build up. Actually turned out decent. Experimental vibe to the song which I am not really into personally but I get it. Not bad. Album as a whole was an interesting listen. It does a good job of keeping the variety while feeling like a cohesive album. That being said nothing really grabbed me and made me want to listen to it again. The only song I'm going to add to my library will be Even Flow because of the nostalgia. Score 2.5/5 rounded down to a 2/5.

Nice

I haven't liked another of theirs as much since then.

4/5 you know what, that was good!
