Possibly their best...
A really great album that really clicks after the second or third play. How was this one ignored? It's dark and brooding, but very emotional and moody.

Pearl Jam Ten
Pearl Jam is all he listens to. I bought this as birthday gift for my husband. He loves it.

A lifeless riot
This is Pearl Jam in full on geezer rock mode complete with aged, uninspired riffs, cynical political lyrics, and an overall inescapable apathy within a once rocking exterior and sensitive interior.

One of the most underrated albums of the 2000's!
Though not always uplifting, it really reflected what was going on at the time. Helped to begin to heal what was then an open wound from 9/11 ("I Am Mine" in particular). And it still holds up (as do all of Pearl Jams albums). "Can't Keep" gets better with every listen.

Awesome album from start to finish.

Pearl Jam has Stayed True
They haven't yet to make a horrible album, but with the saturation of copycat bands like Creed, Nickleback and Live, they seem to have been lost in the crowd. Somewhere over the years Pearl Jam fans seem to have lost interest in the band.

"Can't Keep" is a groovin' rocker with a big sound and Middle Eastern overtones. Then the album has "Save You", which is simply Pearl Jam's most rocking, energetic and exciting song in a while, along with the other Big Rock tunes on the album like "Got Right" and "Ghost". "1/2 Full" has an amazing, smoking guitar solo that you can't help but to rock out to.

Vedder has some songs that take a stab at President Bush in the lyrics like in "Help Help" with "the more you read, we've been deceived, every day it becomes clearer". Vedder has always been known for his out-right political lyrics and this album contains it's fair share of them. The band has stayed true to each other and their beliefs over the years.
