After the success and the pure quality of 10....like a lot of Pearl Jam fans, I was curious to see what they would come up with next, and with VS they did not dissapointed!
This album released in 1993, contains 12 superb tracks that rock and once again serve to highlight both the musical talent of the band and vocal ability of Eddie Vedder! It is a powerful, raging rock album that opens with the fast paced 'Go'....this song is frantic, with a heavy guitar element over which Vedder roars the vocals to great effect! Animal, which never seems to stop playing on our local rock station, follows with deep, heartfelt lyrics in the true style of Pearl Jam who are not afraid to confront sometimes controversial and indeed profound subjects within their music!
They then slow it down a tad, with the wonderful 'Daughter' which employs a more acoustic sound, as Vedder sings his way through this tough song which deals with abuse - a thread that follows Pearl Jam throughout their work!
Glorified has an almost funk element to it but my favorite track on this album has to be "Rearviewmirror"....
This album has a plethora of different styles, all of which employ the trademark rock / grunge edge, but each as different as the next with profound lyrics that prod one to stop and think, combined with killer rifts that draw you into ech adn every track!! A true 5....what an excellent album!!

PJ's SophmoreAwesome album! They really rock though Eddie's new topics are different than "Ten's" Subject material. Songs like, "Daughter" and "Dissident", or "Glorified G" are more like a parody of grunge and forgettable. But songs like, "Animal", "Leash", "Rats" and "Rearview Mirror" make this album worth keeping.

Not that good, butAfter "Ten" it´s a little hard to put in a new album that could beat it. Put it´s a good album anyway.

One of the more lively of their CD'sReview created: 01/27/06
by:
I think of this as being a really youthful, lively CD in comparison to other Pearl Jam albums that have followed. Of course, they always put an assortment of songs on all of their albums, but when I’m feeling like I want something more upbeat, I would choose this one over the others.

Better than the album ten for sure. VS. is good from start to finish. The twelve tracks keep you listening and wanting to hear more. This is a must have for the Pearl Jam fan. Comes in a three part case with booklet.

Pearl Jam was one of the bands that grunge-era pseudo acts aspired to emulate. They burst onto the scene after their debut with Ten and then quickly decided that their audience wasn t going to be that which the highly commercial MTV attracted. The first album Pearl Jam refused to make videos for was their sophomore effort, Vs.. On it s initial release, the album was called Five Against One although the title never appeared on the packaging. It was during this brief window that I picked up my cassette tape and only later did I purchase Vs. on compact disc. In comparing Ten and Vs. the first...

In 1993, Pearl Jam were one of the biggest acts in rock music. Having enjoyed enormous success with their debut album Ten, the group took an unlikely route with their sophomore album, Vs.. Instead of doing big stadium tours and working the publicity machine, the band decided to stop making music videos and even refused to release singles from their album. Nevertheless, Vs. sold millions of copies and was a critical success, earning three Grammy nominations. The album begins with Go, and I can't think of a better opening song. It starts off with some steady pounding drums and soft guitar...

Pearl Jam shuns popularity, yet still puts together a platinum albumReview created: 08/30/03

I can't help but get a little sentimental when listening to Pearl Jam's Vs. When this nifty little album arrived, little did we know it would soon be associated with the "grunge movement," which collapsed under its own weight just a year or so after Vs. was released. That's really too bad as Pearl Jam's sophomore effort tends to get slapped with a generic label instead of being recognized for what it is -- a damn fine disc firmly-rooted in classic rock and delivered with passion, inspired lyrics and warm, distorted guitars to spare. This album, interestingly, rather marks a turning point in...

To celebrate the upcoming release of the upcoming album Riot Act by the 1990s Seattle rock band Pearl Jam, our esteemed host, Pearl Jam expert, and the King of Rock at Epinions.com, MattA75 decided to host the Pearl Jam Write-Off. He along with several other rock writers who are fans of the band decided to review an album or product related to the influential Seattle band. For my contribution, I decided to review their 1993 masterpiece, Vs . In 1992, rock was alive again. After years of bland and bloated hair-metal bands and corporate pop schlock, rock music finally got the kick in the *ss it.

Pearl Jam's VS. is clearly a political album. The songs, for starters, are stuffed to the gills with shades of bitter societal backlash. But it's the album's *cover art* where Pearl Jam lay down their most definitive statement. Take a look. It's a sheep, or a llama, or some manner of mangy, socially impaired beast; whatever it is, it's lonely and private, and feels caged. Look at how it strains to bite the photographer that would dare exploit it. If this pictoral evocation of isolation isn't a statement of sorts.... well, it *is* a statement of sorts, and if you think it's just an ugly animal.
