    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. The Boston Phoenix

    Working with producer Adam Kasper, Vedder played nearly everything on the album. And that gives Into the Wild a cozy, intimate feel.
  3. Billboard
    80
    Vedder effectively conjures the endless possibilities of the open road with sparse, never morose, tracks.
  4. 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]

    The last kind of record you'd expect to hear from the Pearl Jam frontman. I'm not a PJ fan at all and never really like Vedders voice but this record is brilliant. You really have to have seen the film to understand the context of the record but it goes really well with it. I don't how it would sound otherwise. Hard Sun should have gotten an Oscar nomination for best song in a film in 2008.… Expand

    Smooth and replete with emotions. My favorite song is Society. But unfortunately a little bit short album.
