Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
Part of the '90s Seattle grunge triumvirate completed by Nirvana and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam debuted with Ten, their most accessible, least self-conscious album. Over time, PJ's rep as a politically correct band just a little too above it all to prostitute its music on MTV has nearly superseded the music. But before that, they were a simply an in-your-face, in-your-head, loud, melodic rock band. And lead singer Eddie Vedder was known for his possessed stage presence and a primal growl that sounded like it required three vocal chords. The personal, narrative singles "Alive," "Jeremy," and "Even Flow" catapulted the reluctant band into the 10-million-plus-sales division. Subsequent albums are more intricate, subtle, thematically complex, and, in many ways, better than Ten. But the band may never repeat the stampede caused by this debut. --Beth Bessmer

The first,
By
This review is from: Ten (Audio CD)
This album was the first to separate me from listening to my brother's music to listening to my own. Although I didn't necessarily 'discover' it on my own (a friend said hey listen to this - a new appreciation for music and words was born) who really discovers these kinds of things. Maybe they find you when you need them or when you're ready.A lot of people say that the more recent PJ albums aren't as good as 'Ten' and they can't really get into them. I would disagree. My opinion is that they are just different. People change and I would guess that this is what is reflected in the change over the years of PJ. Maybe it is the people that say PJ isn't the same that are the ones that haven't changed and grown. Either way this album to me has raw emotion and the power and thirst that goes with it

This review is from: Ten (Audio CD)
this is one of the best albums ever made, the talent in this band is unbelievable..When i saw them live in September it was the songs from Ten that were the best, Nearly every song Pearl Jam wrote was good...But Ten is the album that stands out for me...so all you people saying...Pearl Jam copied Nirvana, Puddle of Mudd, Creed, etc....just shut up...Pearl Jam and Nirvana are completely different...I am a much bigger Nirvana fan, but Pearl Jam is a more talented band and often more pleasent to hear.Puddle of Mudd and creed...are much newer and are all just a cheap version of Pearl Jam, shame on you for saying such things... and there is NOTHING overated about this band! possibly the most talented band in the world TODAY (not of all time) if anything Pearl Jam is underated!

Timeless.,

This review is from: Ten (Audio CD)
Probably one of the top 20 rock albums of the past 20 years, I still consider this to be Pearl Jam's best album to date. Possibly even Pearl Jam's career defining album, which is unusual for a band to be at the absolute peak of their game on releasing their debut.Penned and sung by Eddie Vedder, without a doubt one of rocks great vocalists, this album has a fair few of PJ's best-loved tracks. If you're relatively new to Pearl Jam's music, I would recommend you buy either this release or their greatest hits album, 'rearviewmirror: Greatest hits 1991-2003'. Fan favourites on this album are "Jeremy", "Alive", Even Flow" and "Black". Some tracks I rate highly would be "Alive", "Garden", "Jeremy" and "Release". Still, if you don't fancy buying the album, at least download some of the tracks I mentioned. You won't be dissapointed. If you're a fan of Pearl Jam you might also like The Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots or even Nirvana. If you like this record I would highly recommend listening to 'Siamese Dream' by The Smashing Pumpkins, or 'Superunknown' by Soundgarden, which is apparently one of Eddie Vedder's favourite albums.
