CD is greatMy son bought the CD and is enjoying it. He's listened to all sorts of music and seems to enjoy the old and the new music. I like the way the cover to the CD is.Quite colorful! I haven't heard it yet myself, but if my son enjoys it and my husband does also.

No Code Pearl Jam releaseNo Code is a strong CD with several great songs. Smile reminds me of their Neil Young collaboration, and Red Mosquito is a great example of Pearl Jam's ability to rock while sounding melancholy at the same time, while Hail Hail just plain rocks. It is not my favorite Pearl Jam CD but even a lesser Pearl Jam CD is better than most other rock CDs from the past 20 years. Some people think that Pearl Jam put out some mediocre CD's during the last 10 years but I've yet to figure out what the @#$%they are talking about, since I have heard all of theme except Riot Act, and I wouldn't call any of them mediocre.

Just kick back and enjoyReview created: 01/27/06

I consider this album to be pretty laid back in comparison to their other albums. So, if you’re having a day where all you want to do is sit out in the sun and listen to music, this album would suit the mood perfectly.

Forget most of what you've heard about this disc and simply run out and buy it. If you read typical music reviews about 1996's No Code, you'll wind up thinking this album is a waste of time. The majority of reviews by music critics I've seen on this thing suggest it's full of off-kilter instrumentation, "world beat" influences, confusing symbolism and vague references to religion. Also, I've read how the disc is difficult, self-indulgent to a fault and too complex to figure out without listening to it time and time again. Sound like an album you'd want to buy? No? Imagine that! In truth, No...

In 1996, Pearl Jam released No Code, an album that was soon regarded by many as the band's least enjoyable. Only one song from that album still gets radio play while the rest were forgotten by the casual fans and even by some hardcore ones. Personally, I see No Code as the dawning of a new era in Pearl Jam's life. They had long since given up on music videos (until 1998's Do the Evolution), and now, a year and a half after winning a Grammy, they were no longer concerned with making the kind of music people expected from them. They were ready to do exactly what they wanted, and No Code was the.

Stairway2Drew For me, to review No Code - or, for that matter, any other Pearl Jam album - is to fret about not doing justice to it But as a collection of songs No Code is as near-faultless an album as Pearl Jam have ever produced * * * * * Andym173 The tunes and rhythm of some of the songs drew me in from the very start, and the ones that I didn t get right away I soon got to know by listening around the ones that I did pick up. * * * * MattA75 It's quite obvious he's looking for his place in the world, rather than tackling social issues or political ones Either way, sit down, grab a warm..

This is the review I started writing two days ago. However, as I felt a need to give whoever will read this some background, namely how Pearl Jam became my favorite band, I got about a page on Vitalogy . Eventually that page doubled in volume and became my brand new (already second) review of the 1994 album. So, if you want to read about how this band started to matter to me, click away! Which allows me to skip a lot of detail I would otherwise have to go into. Like, up until 1996 Pearl Jam were the voice of a whole generation. A generation that proclaimed and eventually made them America s..

Well, looks like I m back earlier than expected to continue the tour of Pearl Jam s back catalogue! The next stop on the way is 1996 s No Code, the band s fourth album. A milestone in many ways. This one completely moved the band away from their heavier, harder rock style (aside from a couple of tracks) as they continued along the experimental bent begun by 1994 s Vitalogy. They, of course, alienated what remained of their Ten fan base completely with this effort. Only the true fans clung along, realising after hearing the album I m sure that the band s change was for the better. They were...
