Please like this video if you like Pearl Jam. Or flannel. Or crazy hair.

[@skyblaster1234]

You look like a stoner with that face, cocaine addict with that hair, and a hippie with those clothes, awesome!... I guess?

[@manxinsomniac]

Can only press like once sadly and I only have this album by them, so it's a toss up between the flannel and hair. I'll go with the flannel as its bit underrated.

[@n484251]

Report for plagirizing the yellow flannel from Anthony Fantano especially this context XD . Actually, love ya :3.

[@CableB_]

I don't have flannel but I do have a bandana.

[@ASLB247]

I don’t know why, but it looks pretty natural...btw, I hope you haven’t forgotten about having me joining you for the Dark Horse review.

[@wdfmidevil]

Flannel for grunge review. I dig it

[@travisbunce7334]

My generations sound track. Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden and The Tea Party led the way for me. Plenty of others as well, but these 4 put out the most iconic and easily recognizable 90's sounds imo. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith no More.... Nothing fake or filler, just real music that shits on what qualities for music now.

[@travisbunce7334]

Forgot about Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Disturbed, Bush, Soul Asylum, Stained, White Zombie, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Rammstein, REM, Skunk Anansie, L7, Rancid, The Black Crows, The Offspring, Sonic Youth, Blink-182, Greenday, Pennywise, Bad Religion, Incubus, The Entire Crow Soundtrack!! I could name another 15+ bands from this decade easily. Ahh I'm off to hit play on my Spotify Playlist with all of these bands :)

[@jacinto1477]

Even metal fans can appreciate such a great album.

[@Danny05Way]

I love so fucking much Pearl Jam... Is the favorite band of my father and I was growing up with Pearl Jam's songs... I have a lot of their albums...

[@mjnation7876]

Awesome album. I think their next album Vs. is just as good as Ten.

[@nicolasriveros943]

I'm one of those who prefeer Vs. over Ten actually

[@ianmason2003]

I appreciate your opinion, but hell no. Ten is one of the greatest albums by any band. Vs is awesome, but watered down.... Vitalogy the same diminish. Vs still rocks but it's not Ten IMO.

[@nicolasriveros943]

I disagree. In my opinion Vs. is the full opposite of a "Watered down" Ten. I think is bigger and better in any ways, the production is still fresh, the whole band is tightly jointed and is the only one record that was written by all of the band members, and you can really tell. I get that Ten is the "classic" pic, that maybe has the major number of radiofriendly singles, at least from the Grunge era, but the production is kinda dated, even the band has said that they weren't happy with the mixing, (hence the Remaster version, which i think it sound better) and maybe on a more personall level, i get "used" to the songs. Ten is still an excellent album and i agree with you on Vitalogy being wattered down (is still good, but my least favorite from their Holy Trinity) but i think Vs is a perfect follow up to an album like Ten, and in alot of ways, even better.

[@ianmason2003]

See now I have always thought Vs's sound quality is bad. It's very soft. I think what they meant when they said they don't like the production of Ten, it could possibly have been some glammy production things happening.

[@jasonallen5318]

How is the production dated? Vs has much worse production quality than Ten, but sound quality aside, Ten is one of the best albums ever made and is very memorable...Vs is not really close to that level of epic proportion. It's fine that you prefer Vs over Ten (I guess we all have different opinions) but 99.99% of people will agree that Ten is hands down their best work.

[@BBall0027]

This video was released on my birthday, which is perfect, since I was named after "Jeremy"

[@MrRaivokasMagma]

Never really listened Pearl Jam, but I think I'll listen to this soon. I kinda miss albums that flow so well from song to song. Like everything has thought so well and it's an experience to listen to. First thing that comes to mind for me is Danzig's 4p.

[@silverback9572]

Everyone that I know that has seen Pearl Jam live all say that they put on an amazing show. I want to see them so bad. Alive is my favorite song by them as well

[@princealigorna7468]

My favorite band, and one of my favorite albums. Thanks for doing this one! Ten, Versus, and Vitalogy is easily one of the greatest trios of albums ever released. And a lot of the more recent stuff is pretty damn good too. And of course the official live bootlegs. PJ is a fantastic live band. It's hard to find fault with much of anything on this album. I admit there's some songs I listen to a hell of a lot more than others, but none of them are really bad, and the performances...man, PJ is a great band. Stone Gossard writes some killer riffs. Sludgy and dirty as hell, but with a lot of melody that makes them easy to hum along with, and able to switch from more tender stuff to almost raging punk fury at any point he wants. Jeff Ament is just one of the best bass players ever. Mike McCready was doing something no one else was doing in Grunge, openly throwing in just pure Stevie Ray Vaughan style blues guitar heroism in at a time when everyone was saying guitar heroics were dead (to be fair...that was kind of a lie. Yes, Grunge as a style never RELIED on solos, nor was it big on the type of insane technicality the Shrapnel guys were doing in the mid-80's, but a lot of those bands still played solos aplenty. It's just the mindset changed from, "You know you can play, so why not show it off?" to, "Not every song NEEDS a solo. If it doesn't work for the song, don't do it. It'll make the ones where a solo works stand out more anyways."), and Eddie Vedder's voice, man....that smooth, rich baritone combined with those occasional piercing screams just does something to you. And people are STILL trying to rip it off today! Personally, my favorite songs on this one are Garden and Black. Both of those are big, dramatic power ballads in the best way, and Black can still make me cry if I haven't listened to it in awhile.

[@grahamkristensen9301]

Ten > Nevermind. Don't @ me.

[@JrJrJrJrphD]

Graham Kristensen How about if I agree?

[@ArkaeaFCL3]

I agree

[@tammichenard1024]

WRONG.

[@afiluvr94]

True!

[@hellonurd8957]

Nice review! I'm more of a Soundgarden fan & Nevermind introduced me to Grunge in general, but Pearl Jam is still an awesome band. Ten is an amazing album especially for a debut! & I'm not even a big fan of grunge (what can I say? Metallica, Weezer & Blink-182 eventually got to me and had me sold immeditely!)

[@deepenwadhwa4027]

Not only the best PJ album, the best grunge and I'll ever go as far to say it's my favourite Rock album of all time that's not prog. There are definitely other prog rock, prog metal, thrash metal etc albums that are on their own level but when it comes to 4/4 rock, this one is my favourite of all time. Pearl Jam rocks! (even to this day, Gigaton was so good too!)

[@martinhroch344]

Could you review some System Of A Down? I really want to know your opinion on them. I personally love them.

Everything except for Riot Act is great which is also not bad, just above average. Ten, Vs, No Code and Yield absolute classics imo and Gigaton came very close to it, was so good!

[@kevinrooney3351]

Correction: it's been 27 years, not 17. Beyond that, though, agree with everything. Ten is a grunge masterpiece.

[@TWKReviewsOLD]

"Once" has always been one of my absolute favorite songs from Pearl Jam alongside "Do the Evolution" and "Jeremy." Also, I am a bit jealous of your hair as mine does not look good whenever I grow it out at all.

[@justinw1765]

Hmm, some of their angriest and most rebellious songs. But definitely great songs. Love the chorus in "DtE"--it's borderline haunting.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Oh yeah, Evolution is an awesome song

Denib Rantz My Own Prison is actually a decent album, and Human Clay is good except for "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open." They also sound nothing like Pearl Jam.

[@GrimmFLawless]

Anyone covering Black I just don’t see anyone doing it justice. Eddie Vedder Just has a unique vocal style and Pearl Jam is just so heartfelt

[@K.J.S.est1994]

You should try and review Faith No More - Angel Dust. The first Faith No More album which was solely Mike Patton's own work, a departure from the Rap Rock Chuck Mosley era and The Real Thing era which was written prior to Mosley being fired as frontman.

[@ecurewitz]

great album, but The Real Thing is also good. I have a hard time picking between the two

[@BrownElectrons]

Love ten and vs but the rest of their stuff is hit and miss. They became a dad band real quick

[@Robbinson98]

For the longest time, I couldn't get into Pearl Jam. I'd hear songs like Animal, Jeremy, Alive, Better Man, and others on rock stations, and always feel really conflicted. The instrumentation would usually be great, but I couldn't stand Eddie Vedder's voice for the longest time. It always sounded too shaky and off kilter. After watching this video, I decided to give Pearl Jam a full chance and listen to Ten all the way through. The first four songs cemented my opinion (great instrumentation, ehhhh vocals), but once I got to Black, Eddie's voice suddenly clicked with me. At first I wondered if he just sounded good on that song, but I enjoyed his performances for the rest of the album. I gave it another listen, and he sounded good on the first four songs as well. Thanks for convincing me to give them a full chance.

[@KYSeahawks]

Just discovered the channel and it’s great. This is probably my favorite album ever love every song on it. Would love a VS review. Totally agreed about seeing them live as well seen them twice both times went over 3 hours and over 30 songs played and every show is a little different

IIRC, this album was originally going to be titled "Mookie Blaylock" (sp?), after the basketball player; they settled on his jersey number instead.

I LOVE PEARL JAM FOREVER ♾️ I was 33 years old when Pearl Jam came out, first time hearing them I was a fan for life!! And pretty much kept me alive. MTV unplugged and Pinkpop 1992 and Seattle Murial Park concert are my favorite plus some of the 2000 Pearl Jam concerts, well I have sooo many favorites ❤️🤘✌️🔥☺️💓

[@matthewbeebe344]

Pearl Jam Ten is one of the greatest albums of all time.... Not just grunge or rock but period. Sadly they never reached that level again.

[@ManekiNeko1972]

This was probably the only good album they really had and like I said, some of the songs are still creepy af, although I will contend that Black is one of the best songs ever written.

[@DinsdalePiranha67]

Don't worry about your hair. While mine doesn't curl as tightly as yours, it does have plenty of wave and I have had a hard time making it look good unless I either kept it short or grew it well past shoulder length.

No sé si es mi disco favorito de ellos, PERO PEARL JAM sí que es mi banda FAVORITA en la vida. Gracias por tan excelente reseña. Greetings from Mexico!!!

[@NickMichalak]

Any thoughts on the redux version of the album where they dialed back the reverb and stripped some of the layered guitars down? Personally, I do prefer it on many of the tracks. Just gives the songs some more meat in the mix.

[@nachocavallocarbonell1863]

Remember hearing Even Flow or Jeremy on MTV then realizing they were on the same album, I was blown away. It's perfect from beginning to end, and Release ends with that Once's starting chords so I HAD TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN! Not that much albums have that flow where the track listing is as important as the quality of the songs overall, each one seems to be placed where It should be so you can have a full album listening experience instead of a shuffle and mixed song listening. This is one of the best debut albums (and best albums) of all time. By far!

[@tommysoleaujr2344]

Ten was the first rock album I listened to when I was a kid. I was just 11 years old when I heard it. After all these years it still is one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@godnotavailable2094]

Thaddeus Completely agree. I really wish I could call myself a PJ fan, as this is a fantastic record and Even Flow is my favorite song of all time, but goddamn it, this was their only truly great record. I like the other stuff but they never even came close to this afterward.

[@kylebenson64]

No Code is one of the most underrated 90's albums. I like the more experimental sounds they put down on that record. It has also aged much better than both Ten and Vs.

[@MrTechselect]

Thaddeus It is. Its a near perfect album but I was really let down by what came after Ten. I got Vitalogy and Vs when they were released and I really didn't like the quality of the music or even the grainy production quality. As for the perfect 90s album from a Seattle group its Dirt by Alice in Chains.

[@jjhofstra5956]

There seems to be a big disparity between how rap-fans rate their albums and how rock-fans rate their albums, as ive noticed that on the 'rate your music' website, classic albums like TEN, score the equivalent of a 72 out of 100, which to me is a 'slightly better than average score'.....or 'grade'....while kendrick lamar's best album scored , basically, a 90 out of 100, and no Beatles album scored higher than a 82 out of a 100. I bought the best-rated kendrick album becuz of a great song called 'king kunta' and i listened to the album maybe 3 times, and im sceptical that it is a drastically better album than anything the beatles or pearl jam ever did, so maybe us rock fans need to be a little more generous with our ratings????

[@ioceano9404]

9:50 I completely agree with this statement, as many past albums of the '90s and even early 2000s felt complete because many bands didn't want to half-ass a project they were working on; they just wanted to make amazing music all around. Nowadays, you almost never see this since acts of the modern rock/metal days want to release a few good songs, maybe 1 great and call it quits for the album. There have been a few gems over the years that I've spotted, including an album titled The Light Years by Aviations (which you can unfortunately only listen to on KZbin and Bandcamp) which I have as my favorite album of 2018 so far which I think would be an interesting album for your "How Did I Miss This?" series (even though this isn't Patreon requested XD). Main point, bands need to try to make full albums where all the tracks feel like they belong.
