the ones who think ten/vs/vitalogy is their best work, and the ones who think no code/yield/binaural/riot act is their best work.
it's pretty clear there are very few inbetween, and if they are, this board drives them to one side.

that's definitely true.
I still really like the last four albums, and Yield is very close to being in that elitie field for me--but for me there is a great divide between the first and second half/sections of their career. But I feel that all of the records since vitalogy COULD have been as good as the first three with a few changes so I'm hoping they finally pull it off with the new one. It's not that they lost the ability. it's that they refuse to use it.

I don't know.. I'm somewhere in the middle.. Vitalogy/No Code/Yield are my favs.. I think the last two are sub-par and the first two are great but a bit dated.

what about pj fans who love Sleater Kinney and those who think they suck?
or people who love/hate Boom Gaspar?
i think this is a better divider because SK and boom haven't been around too long.

Yup S-K is another hugeeeee divide
yes but you can't judge pearl jam fans on how much they like other bands.

Yield is my favorite, but Vitalogy is my second favorite. I would tend to say that Ten and Vs are better than No Code, Binaural, and Riot Act. I like them all, though. The people who talk about how they suck after Vitalogy annoy me so I guess I'm in the middle or something like that.
