Actually I have listened to a whole song (Thinking bout you), but after a minute or so it was definitely only morbid curiosity to see how much worse it was going to get.

I didn't even know it was Frank Ocean when I first heard it. I literally stayed tuned in to the radio in order to find out what that horrible song was and who to avoid in the future. It seriously made me angry to listen to it. Awful lyrics, awful melodies, awful soft rock crap.

You heard one song! You can give it more of a chance than that before deciding it’s absolute trash. Frank Ocean is not soft rock. He’s also not for everyone, so it’s totally possible you wouldn’t like it anyway, but he’s genuinely experimental, especially for a pop artist. Personally I think everyone should listen to “Blonde” before making a decision. Some of the weirdest music ever to land on a no. 1 album. |

Did you see that Consequence of Sound (which apparently has at least two Pearl Jam obsessives in its editorial staff) recently ranked their albums? They put “Ten” at no. 1 like it’s fucking 1994. Or like “Ten” is a “Nevermind”-level rock milestone. Fucking insulting. I haven’t really been an PJ fan for like 15 years, but I KNOW that “Vitalogy” and “No Code” have their best material. |

I'd easily put Vitalogy, No Code, Vs above Ten. Probably Yield as well.
I didn't see that article though, no. Honestly I think Ten is a solid album. Great debut. But I don't feel like PJ really hit their stride until Vs. There they sound like a band w/ real personality. On Ten they sound like a product of their environment. I like it, maybe even love it, but it's nowhere close to the string of albums that they'd put out following it throughout the 90's.

That Anna Kendrick LaMerde did the Black Panther soundtrack. It better be listenable, because I wanna watch that movie without hitting the mute button.

I haven’t heard it and I’m not interested. Love Kendrick, but it’s not a proper album, so unless it blows me away during the movie I’m not even gonna pay attention to it. Plus, it’s only curated by Kendrick. Bunch of other, lesser artists are on there. Oh, and James Blake... who is OK. |

It’s a fucking Jane’s Addiction album is what it is. Minus the personality, with a little bit of U2 bravado added in for ‘90s mainstream marketability. Ten is shit. Vs had some ferocious moments, but is at least 50-60% shit. Vitalogy legitimately get my blood up. As do No Code and Yield, though *significantly* less so. |

Vs is a totally different beast than Ten and I stand by my love of it. Vitalogy is amazing tho.
I like that you like No Code and Yield. I feel those get slept on. Those were huge to me when they came out.

Yeah man, that was my era. I bought Vitalogy the day it came out at a Sam Goody (or some mall store), and it sounded SO full to me, so weird compared to the previous albums, so risky for the biggest arena rock band in the world to open with a slop-punk jam and have that shift into a freaking stadium-sized hardcore song. No Code was also a huge deal when it came out. It was the last Pj album to really count as a cultural event for our generation though, and sales went way way down, but the album itself was mostly strong, with some nice instrumental work and some of the band’s most memorable songs. “Yield” is the last one I liked. And that might be because I havereally fond memories of seeing them at their homecoming concert behind that album in the summer of ‘98. Severs good songs, like both preceding albums. The only one that’s good from front to back as an album, though, is Vitalogy. Vs. is a mammoth step forward from Ten, but it basically has two good songs and a bunch of other songs that I wouldn’t necessarily turn off if they came on the radio and I was feeling nostalgic. Their best songs are on the Sigles soundtrack though. |

Vitalogy sounded fucking weird in 1994. Like "Bugs" and stuff like that was weird. But it's so so awesome. I think I used to skip over "Bugs" back then btw. Nowadays I actually love that one haha. It's so stupid and obnoxious but I love it.
I feel like even No Code was declining as far as their relevance went. I totally loved that album when it came out but I don't really remember my circle of friends (anecdotal, yeah) or radio really playing "Hail Hail" or anything as much as they were still playing stuff from the first 3 PJ albums at the time. And Yield was the first time I realized "okay, so now PJ isn't really popular anymore" - I remember being so excited about Yield and going to the store to buy it the day it came out and kind of realizing that "nobody" else (again, anecdotal) seemed to even know there was a new PJ album. It was the first album I guess that just seemed like it was made for a set fan base and not really for the world at large. Maybe. Yield also has a special nostalgic place for me. Just y'know the time it came out. And I remember picking up Single Video Theory and watching that a bunch of times so that whole song cycle just really clicks w/ me.
