'Won't Tell' is the highlight for sure, it alone brings the record up a notch

This really feels like their best album in 20 plus years. Everyone sounds great. Matt, Eddie and Mike, Jeff and Stone.

Has some good songs. Andrew Watt is very overrated. I’m not sure why they decided on him. He makes Eddie and PJ sound like a boy band.

I agree on this being their best album in more than 20 years.

Just seen a live performance of ‘Waiting for Stevie’

What a tune.

Am going to give this a go.

My mom was on a Pearl Jam kick recently and three unfamiliar songs caught my attention enough that I felt the need to look up what they were; they were "Wreckage", the title track, and "Waiting for Stevie"! I have a lot of goodwill for PJ but still didn't think I'd get this much enjoyment out of an album they released only two years ago.



I'm tempted to 4 this, but that would put it above Vs, which feels... off? Will need to revisit that record - I will say "Rearviewmirror" clears anything here.

Happy this sitting on a strong 3.5 rating.

Dilemma resolved by 4'ing both albums :D



Also bumped Vitalogy to 4.5, putting it nearly on par with Ten for me.



Need to listen to more from this band, especially since I've heard killer tracks from other albums ("Sirens", "Off He Goes", "World Wide Suicide", "Wishlist"...)

Vitalogy and Ten are both 4.5’s correct
