    In truth, Into The Wild doesn't sound like a first solo album. It radiates a confidence and maturity that Pearl Jam have lacked on their recent albums.
  2. Billboard

    Vedder effectively conjures the endless possibilities of the open road with sparse, never morose, tracks.
  3. Mojo

    Lyrically, he may occassionally jar but it's hard not to be uplifted when he lets rip on the opener 'Setting Forth' or when he and Sleather-Kinney's Corin Tucker chime on 'Hard Sun.' [Dec 2007, p.100]

    This is the most beautiful music I have heard for a very long time. What a voice, what poetry and the raw but clear, jangly music. Mesmerising. It gives me the same feeling as a long bushwalk.… Expand

    Without a doubt, there are some good songs on this album. As a soundtrack it is pretty decent but as an album I think it is a poor effort on the part of Vedder. The lyrics could have been a little more cryptic but what can you expect for a soundtrack?… Expand
