    There is much, meanwhile, to recommend the O’Brien remix, or “deconstruction” as he puts it. What O’Brien has mostly done is strip away the more ornate layers of the Palmer mix and cutting back on the album’s moments of more florid melodrama.

    It's no surprise they've held up so well after all these years. But it's the extra features, spread over four different editions that truly impress. [Apr 2009, p.114]

    Ten is a classic of the grunge era, its super-sized anthems and introspective pieces powered by Eddie Vedder, a Jim Morrision for the plaid shirt brigade. [Apr 2009, p.116]

    The remix supposedly reflects how the band always wanted the album to sound, but it’s hard to tell what O’Brien did. It’s definitely cleaner, louder and more polished, but not dramatically different.

    This album as a whole doesn't quite feel like the classic everyone makes it out to be. Sure Black, Jeremy, Alive, and Even Flow are all really good, solid songs, but they sound kind of dated nowadays. Vs and Vitalogy are by far their best and most vital when it comes defining them as rock legends of the 90's. This album gets too much credit.… Expand

    I became a fan a few years back, but i was born during their era. I claim to love them now, one of my favorite bands. this albums however is a lot of simple rock chords. A few good songs but not even their best.… Expand
