Product Description
Amazon.ca
Vitalogy reaffirms the Seattle quintet's status as the principled, proudly confused voice of a generation. On their third album, they've found their footing as a raw, forward-looking '90s rock act that fearlessly tackles the Biggest Questions. Lead track "Spin the Black Circle" celebrates the healing power of Eddie Vedder's LP collection, but it is overshadowed by such masterstrokes as "Immortality" (which can be read, right or wrong, as a reaction to Kurt Cobain's suicide), the Lennonesque "Tremor Christ" and a thrilling anthem for the pro-choice movement, "Whipping." --Jeff Bateman

This album is great. To any Pearl Jam fan who enjoyed "No Code" and "Binaural", this repesents the (for the most part) heavier side of the triangle. I've always held those three albums in slightly higher regard than the rest of the Pearl Jam studio library (No Code is, in my opinion, the best of the three), because they showcase Pearl Jams overwhelming talent, and ability for being able to play with all these new sounds, while still maintaining that basic Pearl Jam feel. Not a lot of bands can get away with that kind of experimentation, but Pearl Jam does. Buy this album with No Code and Binaural, and buckle your seatbelt, it's a hell of a ride.

First off, I only give 5 stars for a select few albums, so don't be fooled by my 4 star rating. This album took Pearl Jam into a completely different direction, and thank goodness. Although Ten, and to a greater extent VS. are great albums, they would have been wearing thin creatively had they tried to hold to the grunge style that dominates those two albums. "Nothingman" is a beautiful, balladesque piece that works better than anything similar they'd attempted before. Straight ahead rockers like "Spin the Black Circle" and "Whipping" are more fresh and lively than anything in their previous work. "Corduroy" and "Better Man" are songs of epic proportions that add nice dynamics to the mix. All the other tracks add in some way or another, and add to create possibly the darkest, rockiest, and musically solid album they've yet to create (although No Code is more diverse and experimental and also quite excellent). A far better album than most people give them credit for.
Format:Audio CD
Vitalogy is a solid entry, and is worth of praise. Most will know this album for yet another radio staple (remember no music videos) The haunting and brilliant "Better Man". Also this album would mark PJ's periods where they break out of the main stream and push musical boundrys tracks like "Bugs", "Satan's Bed" (where Vedder answers critics that clamed he is devil worshiper), and "Whipping". Also Note worthy is "Spin the black circle" PJ's cry to not forget vynal records, and "Tremor Christ" the pro-choice themed anthem. Vitalogy pushes the boundries of Popular music and also estalblished Pearl Jam as a rock group not just a grunge group.

Good pearl jam
Thought not their best, still a really good album. It is a combination of great slow songs, great fast songs, and dumb "experimental" songs. Read more

If only . . .
If only Pearl Jam had decided to drop two or three songs, this could be a five-star album. As it is, it's a great album full of some of their very best songs. Read more

Weak Effort from A Great Band
Pearl Jam has become one of the defining voices of our generation. While this album is good, it's not acceptable, and, in contrast to their many other great performances, I'd have... Read more

the darker side of pj
I've loved PJ since Ten came out, and Vitalogy is my 2nd favorite PJ album (No Code is 1st). Vitalogy intrigued me immediately because it is darker than Ten and Vs. Read more

Only 2 songs worth listening to
I know everyone loves Ten, and I'm for one sick of it. However it's just a fact, Ten is their best album. That album is wickedly good. And Vitalogy, is their worst. Read more
