Seriously, Vitalogy is a great album. It always has been and always will be. Every track on it is perfect and flow seamlessly together. I love that two of the most pessimistic songs are two of the most uplifting melodies. I think my problem with the band stemmed from listening waaaay too much in the early 00's. Everything just got stale and played out. It's weird that I listened solidly to this band from like 1995 through 2004 and I'm again rediscovering them. Does anyone know any good message boards to join?

red mosquito is pretty good

I feel like I'm way behind in the Pearl Jam forum. I'd want to talk about how great of a song Not For You is but you guys already know that. I need a recently formed Pearl Jam message board with noobs i can pown.

vitalogy really is an awesome album. i've kind of burned out on them as well, but about once a year i do go through a phase where i'll listen to all of their stuff again

If you find one, let Chloe know.

my favorite song is jeremy

pwn i think but still
and yes vitalogy is a great album...you like no code?

I'd see them live again if I could. I live in Texas though.

they'll be back this year i bet

I love No Code. Sometimes>Hail, Hail>Who You Are>In My Tree>Smile is quite a solid quintet when confronted. For all the experimental praise that No Code gets, it's still no Vitalogy. You just can't beat Bugs>Betterman>Aye Davanita>Immortality>Stupid Mop to close out an album in a weird, creepy, experimental way.

i love how perfectly sometimes fades out and on the exact downbeat that the soft, somewhat peaceful "sometimes" ends we get the hard, abrasive downbeat of hail, hail. the juxtaposition is brilliance

I've always thought of Sometimes as the rumbling thunderstorm building up miles away with Hail, Hail being the sudden lightning strike right in your backyard with the storm on top of you. The thunder sound effects in the background of Sometimes help this imagery out.

Really No Code is a great rainy day album.

very true. nice interpretation

I wish it was 1996 again, honestly.

Tiny Music, Odelay, High/Low, No Code, New Adventures in Hi-Fi, Fashion Nugget, Pinkerton, Recovering the Satellites, Razorblade Suitcase

maybe not all great albums now, but man did they resonate with the 7th and 8th grade Reid.

There is this thing called traveling.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Yeah but unless it's the right before the first of the month I generally have less than $200 in my bank account. I'm a very poor person and will stay that way until I finish school, which at this rate looks bleak.

I do this about once a year.
