Album: Ten

3.5/5

We all know this group, they've been around since '91, but yet, something about them everytime just makes us tick. The music has aged suprisingly well, considering this is a debut. But like Nevermind this album surprised the music world. The only diference was Nirvana already had a album out before Nevermind, and Ten was Pearl Jam's debut. And just like the Beatles and The Rolling Stones before them, and 2Pac and Nortorious B.I.G after, this began a rivally between people, on who was better, and who would last the longest. Well, as everyone knows, Nirvana isn't around(sadly), and the mighty Jam continues to howl out piowerful, obscure lyrics(sometimes). Now as for music, this is some of the best I ever heard, especially the opening track "Once" and my personal fav track "Even Flow". "Jeremy" is proabley the most well known, especially for people who don't know who Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder is one of the most easily reconizable voices in the music world, and one of my favourite singers. much has been said about this album already, but the only thing I can give that's negative about this album is the overall differences of the songs: there are none, sometimes, I'll just turn it off. but that's rare with me. Overall, Pearl Jam's first album is the most well known of them, and some might agree the best, and I'm proud to own a copy of this masterpiece.
