Don't know what he's singing? Fuck, who cares, make up your own lyrics.

No Code is an amazing album, though.

What is it not underground enough for you

DeadDiscoDildo 05.18.2009 11:13 PM
Probably just has too much Eddie Vedder.

I imagine it would be fun to sing along to any Pearl Jam in a blathering Scott Stapp voice like this:

haha pretty much this. And what the other poster said about having too much Eddie Vedder. That voice is so fuckin' obnoxious...just sounds like Creed and the like these days.

While I do think they've released some great records, I agree No Code is a motherfucker of a record. I think a lot of people overlook it because it didn't really have a big single, or the PJ fans who hate it listen to Sometimes and think it doesn't so good so that means the rest of the album is by association terrible.

Definitely one of my favorites ever.

i was jokin w/ the darkabilly remark...

i mean, im sure pj or summer couldnt care less about the psychspark forum or 45 grave or the like....could be wrong.

still though....just joshin ya.

Yr right about the Creed thing, but I have no idea what psychspark is. 45 grave is fun though.

how can you begin to presume what other people think?

i loved PJ when i was young but never bought anything after Vs. Then last year i re-bought ten and vs. on cd and realized that they were actualy shite. bits of vs. were ok but as a whole it was gash.

it was like finding out father christmas wasn't real. or that christy didn't actually fancy me after all. gutted.

That's SUCH a westernquinox quote (no spelling errors, though). I wonder...

Pearl Jam wrote some great anthemic rock songs.
Sure, Eddie Vedder is a non-rockstar the likes of which we haven't seen since Michael Stipe, but they wrote some great songs, and are ya'll forgetting that Eddie Vedder was t he one who was imitated....?
For the record I would eliminate every peral jam record and song if it meant we could be rid of Nickelback and creed.

greedrex 05.19.2009 09:25 AM
ha ha what a shitty band. not nice at all.

Uhmmm.... Because people on the Given to Wail and Red Mosquito forums (The two largest PJ forums) both have said in threads how they hate Sometimes (For how slow it is) and how they couldn't listen to the rest of the record because of it? So I'm not really presuming but rather putting out their thoughts.

PJ is a major snooze for me. No offense to anyone who likes them.

45 grave is ok...i prefer the cramps.

but then again, im the sort that prefers the stooges to awesome color, throbbing gristle to wolf eyes, etc etc.

even though, i do think wolf eyes is decent.

awesome color is a no.


got yr tix yet for the ATL show? we could smash mayo/turkey/lettuce against subway glass....

I agree with just about everything you said. But I met Jen on myspace. ha.

ten, well lemmie tell ya about ten...it bores the shit out of me. maybe bescause almost every song on it has been played on rock radio since it was released.. my fav. song off ten would probally have to be "once" though, just for the record.

binaural is ok. nothing as it seems is my fav pj song.

really enjoed live on two legs for a minute.



I HATED pearl jam as i kid. they bored the shit out of me. i find 'em a bit more tolerable the older i get...guess im just not a pissed of/angsty teen anymore.

oh well....

I really couldn't agrfee with you more. Ten is a bore...


EDIT: repped ya bra.

I agree completely. To judge an album by the opening song and not even listen to the rest of completely idiotic, especially when it's an album like No Code.

And yes Sometimes does kick major ass.

Uhmmm.... i am one of the most regular posters on Given to Wail (even if im not crazy about PJ no more. and im pretty sure that almost everyone likes no code, regardless of what they think of sometimes. they really are not the type to judge an album based on one song. that sounds much more like red mosquito, or better yet the message board (pj officvial site board) those are the bigger two message boards. GTW has like 12 regular posters. we are pretty small.
and yeah no code is the only pj album that i can bring myself to listen to.
and vitology

Vitalogy is my second favorite as well.

I see some people on there diss on No Code, though. Then again this was back before the site was hacked eight times and the forums had to be brought back anew every time.

That's just a rumor. I was mostly quiet and kept to myself.

There's lots of mainstream rock out there that is much worse. PJ has a few good radio hits. Nothing I'm going to spend my money on though, but I don't mind them too much if they're played at a bar, considering some of the alternatives. Why would anyone bother hating them?
