pearl jam-vs 1991- grunge at its finest.

Pearl Jam are explosive. Few American bands have arrived more clearly talented than this one did with "Ten" and "Vs." tops even that debut. Terrific players with catholic tastes, they also serve up singer-lyricist Eddie Vedder. With his Brando brooding and complicated, tortured masculinity, he's something we haven't seen in a while a heroic figure. Better still, he's a big force without bullshit, he bellows doubt.
Like Jim Morrison and Pete Townshend, Vedder makes a forte of his psychological-mythic explorations he grapples with primal trauma, chaos, exultation. As guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready paint dense and slashing backdrops, he invites us into a drama of experiment and strife. "Animal," "Daughter" and "Blood," their terse titles urgently poetic, are songs of a kind of ritual passion, tapping into something truly wild.
And when Vedder roars, "Saw things . . . clearer . . . Once you were in my rearviewmirror," it seems that it's not only some personal sorrow that he's willing himself to tear beyond but the entire weight of the past itself.
anyhoo i just love pearl-jam so just buy it and escape to the wonders of pearl jam.
i bet you will get hooked.
