Black is the greatest song ever recorded But I challenge any human being whose ever been in love to listen to Black without coming to tears. This album is amazing through and through. Black is the embodiment of what music should be. Music is supposed to move us and make us feel something. I've been listening to this album since its release and I still come to tears every time I listen to Black some 18 years later. The song is so powerful it almost overcomes the listener. There is no other song I've ever heard from any other artist that so clearly takes a thought or feeling and passes it on to the listener. This album, and Black in particular, is the pinnacle of what music can and should be. .
The best Pearl Jam album.
Jermey is pretty good, Deep is a good song, Evenflow is good, Why Go is good the rest and every album after were just garbage, and Backspacer will prove that point perfectly if anyone has heard it yet, it's total puke. This was Pearl Jam's only good album and it's nothing stellar. Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains thats grunge, and even more so than grunge crap it's awesome music. Pearl Jam are posers.
bad back then, worse now
MTV "fanboys" immediately switched from hard rock to the grunge bandwagon hailing pearljam and the other grunge raggers as the new thing. I remember well when this one came out. The fact is, if you listened to ten or watched the videos you'd be asking yourself "what am I missing here?" - the musicianship is atrocious, the songs plodding, the singer's voice is monotonous yet this band behaved like they were the Doors. . give us a break please
Luckily real rock music is now back and this kind of poserrock is now forgotten. . same for soundgarden mudhoney stonetemple whatever. . . what a waste of air. . . . . all those years.
Current classic
For a brief moment, as Pearl Jam entered the scene with this blistering debut, they helped to usher arena rock into more thoughtful areas without loosing any of the aggression they proceeded to shed over the next twenty years. Rightfully one of the 90's loudest rock attacks. .
PEARL JAM
I KNOW THIS IS A BIG STATEMENT, BUT NOT ONLY IS IT THE BEST DEBUT, IT'S ALSO PEARL JAM'S BEST. SINGLE BEST DEBUT CD EVER.
