Oct 17, 2013Not even close to some of Pearl Jam's best work
A really lazy effort .Ten,Vs.,Vitalogy and even latter works like Riot Act are better then this album -
Oct 15, 2013Once a great rock band, Pearl Jam has settled into a pattern of retreaded guitar riffs, middling songwriting and FM soft rock theatrics. There's really no reason to revisit this album; it's simply an expression of a band merely existing to pay the bills and to relive the glory days. But we'll always have the live shows and "Vitalogy."

Under The RadarDec 4, 2013Lightning Bolt finds Pearl Jam sounding more comfortable in its collective skin and with its collective influences than perhaps even before. [Nov-Dec 2013, p.92]
