Product Description
From Amazon.com
In an era when pop nihilism fulfilled its dark promise all too regularly, Pearl Jam not only survived, but thrived to become one of rock's greatest bands. This 33-track double-disc career retrospective documents the arc of a career that went from arena and radio triumphs in the early 90's (while Nirvana's promise imploded in the wake of hype, Pearl Jam's crowd-pleasing fame only burgeoned) to the uncompromising, core audience-focused tack that carried the band into the 21st century. Shrewdly compiled by the band into an "Up" disc that chronicles the band's driving, Stone Gossard-Mike McCready fueled hard rock dramatics (including such early career landmarks as "Jeremy," "Alive" and "Even Flow" alongside more aggressive fare like "Go" and "Spin the Black Circle") and a "Down" side that focuses more on Eddie Vedder's brooding, often dark ballads ("Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town," "Yellow Ledbetter," their unlikely hit cover of the oldie "Last Kiss"), it's a collection that underscores both the band's range and musical integrity. Though centered largely on the band's pre-Vitalogy studio era and containing no new material, longtime producer/collaborator Brendan O'Brien contributes remixes of "Once," "Alive" and "Black" that offer new insights on the familiar, while non-album tracks like "Man of the Hour" and "State of Love and Trust" considerably enhance the overall listening perspective here. --Jerry McCulley

good but...,

This review is from: Rearviewmirror (Audio CD)
Okay fans don't shoot me. I was a fan of Pearl Jam when they first came out with 'Ten' and 'Vs', however, they lost me. I started finding them pretentious and preachy so I just lost interest. However, I was interested when I heard they had released a Greatest Hits package.First, the positives...every track is a winner (I don't even mind their version of 'Last Kiss' even though i HATED it on the radio). The album is very reasonably priced and has a s$#t load of music on it. My only real criticism I have that made me give it four stars instead of five is the overwhelming number of tracks from the first two albums (that anyone even remotely interested in PJ must already own). I was really hoping for more tracks from their later albums that I am less familiar with. However, the tracks that are included are wonderful and I probably will get more of their later albums because of them. New favourite - 'Man of the Hour'.

A Great Collection From a Great Band,

So finally Sony has decided to release a Pearl Jam Greatest Hits Package. Like another reviewer, I was interested to see what they would chose for this compilation. While little on it really surprised me (apart from Breath, and State of Love and Trust), it is still a great double disc set. For those of you who only recognize PJ as the alt-rock radio band, then grab this (especially for under $20) - some of their later songs might be a nice surprise. I especially liked how they capped the whole thing off with Yellow Ledbetter at the end of disc 2. It's out of order chronologically, but it's fitting and shows that some genuine thought went into making these cds.
