Vitalogy

"Thanks to its stripped-down, lean production, Vitalogy stands as Pearl Jam's most original and uncompromising album. While it isn't a concept album, Vitalogy sounds like one. Death and despair shroud the album, rendering even the explosive celebration of vinyl "Spin the Black Circle" somewhat muted. But that black cloud works to Pearl Jam's advantage".

"More diverse and ambitious than either Ten or Vs., hindsight shows that Vitalogy is a strong contender to be crowned as Pearl Jam's masterpiece. It's admittedly a messy, sometimes inconsistent affair compared to the previous records, but it's that freewheeling "anything goes" attitude that makes it so fascinating".
