The band also got involved into a nerve-wracking trial fighting the concert managers who revealed bad faith in demanding too high ticket prices. In 1994, Pearl Jam preferred to play on small club stages and in college campuses rather than to give big shows on massive arenas. (1993) with singles or videos, it sold almost a million copies in the first week. Despite their decision not to back the sophomore studio effort Vs. Pearl Jam were quick to gain the status of new rock music superstars, yet the group refused to refer their music to any of the genres. One of their first big concerts was the performance at Lollapalooza in 1992. The hits Jeremy, Evenflow, and Alive, taken from the first long player, were played by all big national stations, while the band was enlarging their fan base with colorful live shows. After the Nirvana soon collapse, there was a strong need for the new powerful formation to take over their place, and Pearl Jam appeared the perfect match. These guys were very good at playing hard rock riffs back from the seventies along with energy and anger of punk rock of the eighties. Curt Cobain’s famed group easily overcame all competitors until Pearl Jam stood in their way. The album was called Ten and was not a good seller until Nirvana made alternative rock a new youth cult in America, which happened in 1992. The fresh band recorded their debut long player early in 1991, but, due to different reasons, it was officially released only in August.
I can tell I'm going to like it better than Riot Act certianly (which is my least fav, try as I may to change that).Pearl Jam, one of the most prominent USA rock bands of the nineties, came to this world out of the ashes of Mother Love Bone shortly after its vocalist Andrew Wood died out of heroin OD in 1990. This is not the waste I thought it was at first.
(though honestly it's hard for me to order the first 5 albums - for the most part I only know that "No Code" is my number one and the other 4 can line up wherever they please. It may help to note that my all time fav is "No Code", followed by "Vs" and "Yield" in that order. I'm going to keep listening because it seems to be growing on me faster than others. Today I actually spun every single one of the studio releases one after another leading back up to this one and I can say that though the sound quality leaves something to be desired, this time around I am pretty happy with the album. Hard to say how much is the master itself and how much is the pressing.Īt any rate, wax aside, I didn't much care for the album on first listen, but as others have noted that's not a very big surprise with a PJ album. A hefty amound of EQing makes it listenable for me but I'm just not a fan of the sound. The presentation of this pressing is pretty top notch (except for the kitchy sticker pack - what? are PJ fans 8 yrs old?) but quality of mix is, as noted not as good even as Backspacer (which is not great). It didn't help that I had to walk back to the record store because the first copy I got had a large gouge in the wax pretty much right the through the first track of each side. I'd have to say that I felt pretty similar to this review last week, not happy about the whole affair. My advice, FWIW, is to avoid this album at all costs.YMMV. This one: nadda, nothing, zilch, zippo! This coming from a guy that listens to 'Riot Act' 9-10x a year. I have always found something redeeming and good on all of their albums upon release. This is disappointing on so many levels for a 'Pearl Jam Fanboy' such as myself. Sonically, 'Backspacer' sounds like a Steely Dan album compared to this. The soundstage is heavy on bass and high notes as well as cymbal hits are cringe worthy.
Decent in Pearl Jam efforts equates to B Sides from the self titled or 'Avacado' album. The only songs that are somewhat decent are 'sirens', 'let the records play' and 'yellow moon'. The music sounds like a combination of a Deer Tick/Black Keys mash up with a lazy EV lyric and vocal effort. I am extremely disappointed in the music and the sonics. Rumors are floating around that there are red vinyl copies with the jacket autographed by the band, red vinyl copies and stock black. For those of you that are curious.mine is 180 gram on red vinyl. I was very excited (or so I thought) to receive my Lightning Bolt LP in the mail yesterday. I'm a long time 10 Club member and Pearl Jam fan.
