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 Kur… More >>

If you read my review of YIELD, it will apply to this album just as well – it’s boring, bland and uninteresting.
If I might add, I had a great time listening to the garage band THE DETROIT COBRAS – their musical sense of ROCK N ROLL is right on par with spirit, sound production and the way RNR should be played. PJ should take some lessons from them.

i’m embarassed to even admit it but i’ve been listening to this album and “no code” for days…maybe it’s “ok” to like pearl jam but the only real audience of theirs around here are rednecks and preppy losers…the band basically try very hard to be “hip” but probably never will be…yet this album has intrigued me since its release…the packaging is absolutely incredible…a brilliant idea and the look of it alone is worth owning, even without the actual album…but in these boring times, the kids like owning their stupid mp3 files and being ignorant sheep…so why am i even bothering to write anything about this if i’m so embarassed to even admit i own it? well, i”m really annoyed that the songs that people “love” by pearl jam are 90% the reason i could never admit i like pearl jam…this album is a perfect example. of all the singles they released, the only actual good one was “spin the black circle”. at least they had the decency of putting the frogs cover of “rearviewmirror” as the b-side of the boring, horrible waste called “immortality”. and maybe they forgot that kurt cobain hated pearl jam and probably wouldn’t have wanted them to write a song for them…so anyway, the best songs on this album are clearly “corduroy”, “aye davanita”, “hey foxymophandlemama, thats me”, “bugs” “satans bed”, “Whipping”, “spin the black circle”, “tremor christ” and “last exit”…due to radio, whatever goodness in “better man” has been lost…but if you can find this cheap and can appreciate the medical book/turn of the century diary in the form of “liner notes”, then buy it…the greatest band of the 90’s is always going to be the smashing pumpkins, but when you own 600+ albums and theyre not all guitar, bass, drums “rock!” music, you get really really tired of the same dumb formula repeated over and over again…

Yet another terrible album by yet another bunch of psuedo-angry American musicians with their psuedo-angry heads buried up their own mammy-pampered-bummies. Adolescent wank for pimple faced boys with fluffy goatees.
I am traumatised. I dread meeting people who like this album.

I find it incredible that PJ fans who loved Ten (like myself) would like anything that came after that album. I simply don’t “get it” like some of you seem to. Every song on Ten would seem out of place on every album that followed. One reason why PJ has lost it’s fans and it’s status as the premiere band of the 90’s almost as soon as it recieved it is because it has no set style. When Ten came out it flowed. Every song was either angry, beautiful or a mixture of both in most cases. Now it seems like they are trying hard not to sound like anything. Every album is an evolution into something else that is further away from the “Seattle sound”. What was wrong with the “Seatle Sound”? Creed is often said to be a PJ (…) . If they are, then they are a (…) of the PJ that created TEN. If you look at Creeds sales they are the biggest band now.
The most critically acclaimed albums of all time were huge sellers. Thriller, The Wall, Led Zeppelin 4. So the masses have a tendency to be right in a lot of cases. Some of you are so artsy fartsy that you have convinced yourselves to love (…)music for the sake of being different than the masses. Make no mistake, PJ sucks now. The music they make doesn’t flow at all as an album. That’s why they went from selling 10 million to 5 million to 3 million to 2 million to 1 million to who even cares if a Pearl Jam CD comes out.
