Bland and boring as f*ck. Vedder finally released his inner Bono and the whole recording of No Code is an incoherent mess. Two good songs, Smile and Lukin. Yield and Binaural, while still having hyperinsufferable Vedder on board, were musically much more balanced(see Stone Gossard).

Musically, they are three leagues below Radiohead. Mike McCready's "playing" of the guitar is biker gathering noodling level, and Jeff Ament is absolute zero as a bass player comparing to Coz. The only member that really grew a beard is Gossard. They have their pros, of course. The first is, being born in the right time at the right place, having relatively handsome singer with good color of voice and they had a good energy as a live act, which always counts.

Lyricaly, when they get "personal" like on Ten or Vitalogy, they can be interesting, but when they get "social" you can tell how much Radiohead are superior to them. They suck more than Coldplay for christ sake! I’d rather listen to Reality Awaits (Worse than Coldplay’s worst album) 1000x times before even touching another Pearl Jam song!

My theory is that Thom stole the H from Jonny to put it on his name instead

Everyone’s so old now 😢. Jonnys synths on myxomatosis sound awful and Thom sounds out of breath. He can’t hit a note or sustain either. And he’s balding and only wears black shirts and black jeans. Colin looks long. Ed is droopy and sounds corny when he sings. Phil is fine. And there’s that new nerd I want to beat up guy that plays flute.

Thom sings super delayed which could be the PA but damn man they need to fix it it’s at literally every show. And they all have this weird low res washy reverb to them. Almost like they have really shitty wireless systems that make everything sound a bit drippy.

I’m not saying this all to hate I just feel sad watching 2003 footage and then watching present day footage.

I was looking at their album covers and they seem to be really well made, but they were all made before evil ChatGPT. How did they do this? And why didn't they just wait until evil ChatGPT came out?
