I am a lot happier than I was after I bought Binaural. My favorite song so far is Greendisease. It's a very different Pearl Jam album. No two songs sound the same. Eddie's best vocals are scattered through the whole cd. No song trully stands out, but they are all good. The only one I don't really like is the first single I Am Mine.

PJ hasnt been the same since 'vs.' which in my opinion is their best cd. vitalogy was fine and no code was better, but then there was a bit of a drop off with yield. all ive heard off binaural are the singles, though, so i cant judge that cd. the new song is pretty good, but still a far cry from the good ol days.

I loved Yield, I'd say that was their careers high point, no code was also great. I downloaded that "Green Disease" song, I like it, it kind of has a punk sound to it. The great thing about Pearl Jam is how much they change from cd to cd, even though sometimes it isn't a smooth transistion.

Kazaa, at first it was hard to get the studio versions that didn't keep looping the song hook. But I finally got someone that had the whole thing.

I've stuck with them and all, but they haven't lived up to the promise they showed on Ten, imo. Maybe it's just the fact that that's one of my top five best debut albums ever.

Theres kind of two groups of Pearl Jam fans. The ones who loved all the cds, and those who stopped listening after Vs. :)

My current favorite is "Can't Keep" It really reminds me of a song you'd hear on No Code.

Actually I stopped listening after Binaural. They kept my attention up until then. And this album is kind of like Binaural but with better songs.
