YIELD is a fantastic record with some GREAT songs.....I will have to disagree with the litehearted jabs at mr vedder's melodic prowess !!! I have always found great melody's in pearl jam's music. In my eyes, the best thing about that band is how they all just gell together into something unique (or as unique as it can be in the rock idiom)
I am pretty sure muzak versions of most pearl jam tunes would be recognizable instantly....I believe their melodic elements are pretty solid. Perhaps its that oh so recognizable, and copied.. voice that hides them for alot of folks. Either way...I dig them alot...still one of my personal favorite rock bands.
They are a band that is hated by many....oh well...I appreciate the work they have done, and along with stp and radiohead, I believe will go down as the best bands of the 90's.
I have been in love with the sound of most of their records, even 10...though I would love to hear that record remixed by brendan or adam kaspar. For what it was, and what it did for the band....its still a classic in my book.
