Pros: Solid, guitar-based rock which is amazingly consistent Cons: A lack of "hooks;" pales when compared with other Pearl Jam discs; "Pilate" stinks
There are times when Epinions rating system just doesn't work out well. This is one of those times. Here's the problem, 1988's Yield by Pearl Jam is a fantastic album which is head-and-shoulders above damn near anything that was released in 1988...
Pros: I did dig some of the music. Cons: It's not my style of music, but it's not Pearl Jam's fault.
This is my addition to the write off inspired by Matta75 and JennJoy. Basically some music writers got together and thought it would be cool to partner up with a writer of a totally different genre and swap CD's and then write reviews of those CD's....
Pros: Cohesive, great works from all band members Cons: none
Pearl Jam has changed its style quite a bit since the release of Ten. Over the past decade, the Seattle rockers have experimented with many different sounds, but I think their true style came across best in 1998 with the release of their fifth album, ...
Pros: matured sound, songs; uplifting, triumphant tunes with a classicist bent Cons: slow start?
Several years ago, a young, disappointed listener would have you believe that Pearl Jam's fifth album is/was anything less than fantastic. My present-day adjective is to dissuade you from the position once taken on this album, Yield, by that ...
Pros: It's energetic, mellow, heavy, beautiful, hard...it's a masterpiece. Cons: Pilate and Push Me Pull Me.
Yield is the gem, the brilliant masterpiece released in 1998 when Pearl Jam had faded away from the "popular" scene. The band had settled their internal conflicts and found a balance and, especially, a harmony that came with Jack Irons as ...
Bands don’t come as special as Pearl Jam, and Yield still stands as a work of supreme rock and roll genius. There are a handful of albums that have changed the way I think of music, and Yield is one of those select few. See, I never r ...
Pros: A more mature, yet just as great Pearl Jam emerges. Cons: Pilate...that's the only one I can think of.
By 1998, Pearl Jam were one of the most-respected bands in rock music, although their commercial level of success had cooled off drastically since 1995. They had released the experimental and transitional No Code album, which had come as a surprise to...
Pros: Loud, melodic, basically everything good about the previous albums in one CD Cons: a few mishaps in sound, not quite as original as the other albums
When No Code came out P Jam broke free from the label grunge and were doing they’re own thing, but that doesn’t mean they can’t rock and Yield is where they re-visit their roots of Ten and Vs. But thanks to ...
Pros:Interesting second half Cons:Lukewarm first half
All across Yield, PEARL JAM pushes for recombination. IGGY POP meets DIRE STRAITS (So Far Away) for Wishlist. LED ZEPPELIN's Going to California becomes the framework for Given to Fly. ...
More Pearl Jam you say? Do you want it? Do you need it? Am I going to keep asking these silly rhetorical questions? Yes I am, because since this is now my fifth Pearl Jam review, I’ve completely ran out of witty and humorous introduction ...
Pros: Instant classics, and even some good old-fashioned grungy punk Cons: Some material that can't be anything but filler.
Somehow, despite being an avid fan of all those grunge bands from the early 90s, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, I never managed to listen to Pearl Jam. Sure, I knew "Jeremy", but that was mostly it in terms of songs I had committed to memory....
Pros: a solid rock album, the best of the band's career Cons: Pilate is ruined by an awful chorus, Push Me Pull Me
It seems that no matter what Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder does, he can never escape the stereotype that he is a whiny rock star. And while it's true that in the past, Vedder's lack of acceptance of his role as one of the most important musical ...
Pros: Lots of hard-hitting tunes Cons: Some of the lyrics a bit whacked out
Make no mistake about it: I am a big Pearl Jam fan. I have all 5 studio albums and the live one. And Yield, released in 1998, is the best they have put out since their debut effort, "Ten." Mix an edge not seen in quite some time from them,...
Pros: "Given to Fly" and a bonus mystery track, better treatment of lyrics in liner notes Cons: Too Punkish, not the band's best album
Pardon me, but is Yield supposed to be a Pearl Jam album? Oh, that's right, Pearl Jam was heavily influenced by Punk -- a despicable excuse for music; the dregs of the accoustic world.
Pros: Many catchy riffs and clever lyrics Cons: One or two semi-clunkers
Pearl Jam has attained the rank of elder statesman in the alternative rock world. It was back in 1992 that they broke through with other Seattle bands, Nirvana and Soundgarden, with their debut “Ten”. They followed that up with two more big-sellers....
