Pros: Mature, diverse, poetic Cons: Turned a lot of people away from the band
In 1996, Pearl Jam released No Code, an album that was soon regarded by many as the band's least enjoyable. Only one song from that album still gets radio play while the rest were forgotten by the casual fans and even by some hardcore ones. ...
Pros: Solid stuff all the way through; classic rock with a more current twist Cons: Too many Stone Gossard lead vocals; might confuse fans of Ten
Forget most of what you've heard about this disc and simply run out and buy it. If you read typical music reviews about 1996's No Code, you'll wind up thinking this album is a waste of time. The majority of reviews by music critics I've seen on...
Pros: best concentration of PJ songs on record Cons: lack of unification
"Greetings, pimps and ho's." There's more than an offhand chance that my opening sentence will perplex you, and make you wonder why, exactly, a reviewer of my stature and distinguish - play with me, here, we're just playing funny games - would open an ...

For me, to review No Code - or, for that matter, any other Pearl Jam album - is to fret about not doing justice to it… But as a collection of songs No Code is as near-faultless an album as Pearl Jam ...
Pros: This is my favorite album. Like, all-time. Cons: I still haven't found a friend who'd relate to it the way I do
This is the review I started writing two days ago. However, as I felt a need to give whoever will read this some background, namely how Pearl Jam became my favorite band, I got about a page on “Vitalogy”. Eventually that page doubled in volume ...
Pros: diverse, mature, and introspective Cons: it will take you a while to "get it"
This is one of my "5 Most Under-Rated Albums of the 90s". Further entries will follow. With 1994's Vitalogy, it seemed that Pearl Jam was finally going to receive the critical respect to go along with their mass popularity among m ...
Pros: A more diverse sound for the band. Cons: A few weaker tracks.
Well, looks like I’m back earlier than expected to continue the tour of Pearl Jam’s back catalogue! The next stop on the way is 1996’s No Code, the band’s fourth album. A milestone in many ways. This one completely moved the ...
Pros: Pearl Jam branch out creating some brilliant sound Cons: in order to experiment you have to make mistakes
Note - the rating at the top used to be 5/5 When a band today trades their heavier sound in for an acoustic one they are immediately labelled sell outs, well when heavy music is what makes them popular and they wonder off into the world of ...
Pros: The Pearl Jam album for Pearl Jam lovers. Cons: The album every fan of Ten hates.
Sometimes I Dream....
It's about seven o'clock in the morning and I'm just waking up to the murmurs of the first track off Pearl Jam's No Code, Sometimes..... large fingers pushing me...you're God and you've got big hands..... the...
Pros: Have I said this before? It's Pearl Jam! Cons: I'm Open
If there was ever a misunderstood and under-appreciated record in recent rock history, it's Pearl Jam's No Code. My third favorite of their collection, this album is somehow either overlooked or dismissed by much of the general public. Then of ...
Pros: Great songwriting, a clean, pure sound, Ed Vedder Cons: Fractured, a couple weak songs
I am not going to lie--I am very biased when it comes to this album. It is my favorite album of all time, and it will always occupy a place in my heart, even if I've run it into the ground with repeated listens.
Pros: well-rounded, artful, a thousand hearts on a sleeve Cons: stuff happens
(Psst, black
star:
looks as though I’ve made good on our solemn blood
oath with my not overly big and flashy title. The jig is up! Owed to me now is your entire ...
Pros: Deeper, diverse and more meaningful than you'd expect from Pearl Jam Cons: Unfortunately, it takes a few spins to get accustomed to its greatness
Once you get around No Code's odd but, upon further inspection, astonishingly cool packaging, you'll find a treat inside (don't worry, it's in there somewhere) that will surprise you with every change of the track and leave you sitting and...
Pros: Great songwriting, experimentation Cons: Few radio singles, if it matters.
It may have been overlooked by casual fans seeking an album with 5 new grunge singles, but Pearl Jam's 1996 album "No Code" is a terrific, ambitious rock album with surprising depth.
