Pearl Jam - Ranked

After ignoring them since the release of the single Sirens a decade and a half ago, I have found myself listening to band I grew up a fan of. Re- evaluating a discography after a few years away offers new perspectives.

I'll only rank everything up to Backspacer as I just am not familiar enough with the past 3 records.

  1. VS
  2. Yield
  3. Ten
  4. No Code
  5. Vitalogy
  6. Binaural
  7. Backspacer
  8. Avocado
  9. Riot Act

Vs & Yield, for me, are the most playable, no skip albums.
Ten is what it is, a classic, but not without its flaws.
No Code, Vitalogy & Binaural more or less occupy the same space for me.
Backspacer & Avocado have their moments.
Riot Act is the album that put Pearl Jam on the back burner for me when came out in '02. An incredibly boring and uninspired record.

Of course, this is all subjective.
