Like sone other Pearl Jam releases there are a few songs which take a few listens, but from the opening rokcer through the accustic ballads Thin air and Of the girl this album is very satisfying! Light Years is one of the best in the PJ catalog and then the experimental Parting ways is moving. The one song which dosen't do it for me id Grievance, although a live version I heard did the tune more justice. If you are looking for 10 the return you will be dissapointed, but if have followed the grouos career and appreciate the risk taking, which most modern bands fear to take, then you will be satisfied with this release.pickledjoe
