Following the sweeping epic "Ten" was always going to be tough . Or so we thought . The boys from Pearl Jam showed how easy it all was when they released this blistering album , and consequently held the record for five years for the fastest selling album in the world ..EVER. Moonwalk on that thought Mr Michael Jackson. It's easy to see why "Vs" struck a chord with so many people - it has the intimate beauty of acoustic numbers such as "Daughter" ; the percussion led anger and passion as typified by "WMA" , "Animal " and "Rearviewmirror" , and perhaps the most poignant love song they had at this stage penned in "Dissident". Eddie's vocals are wounded and howling , yet that rich baritone is always bubbling under the surface - proving why he is the greatest rock singer of his or any other generation. The lyrics are insightful and heartwrenching as always. On "WMA " (White Middle American ) Vedder raises the political stakes and declares how easy the affluent white population have it - "He won the lottery , by being born.... police stopped my brother today ". A singer with a song and a cause to sing. The music is tight and fluid and aches to be played loud. It rushes out of the starting box with "Go" and never goes flaccid for a second. You end up shell shocked and breathless , but I guarantee you will be reaching straight for that repeat button before you know it. Truly astonishing.

I bought this album on impulse and I've never looked back. I would rate Eddie Vedder up there with Kurt Cobain and Billy Corgan, for having the most influence on me. Classic riffs and lyrics that demand a certain, awe-inspiring respect. The intensity of 'Go' the opening track sets the standard for the rest of the album, 'Daughter' and 'Elderly Woman...' will just blow your mind.
Jonny's reccomendation: BUY THIS ALBUM!!

When Vedder and Co burst onto the scene with "Ten", the burning question was "How the hell do you follow that?" Here Pearl Jam provided the answer with an album full of visceral savage rock and songs aimed at all sections of American society, from gun-nuts to bigoted Police Officers.
From the opening ferociousness in "Go" to the bittersweet tenderness of Indifference, in which Vedder really lets his voice do all the work to carry a haunting chiming riff this is an album that confirmed Pearl Jam as MAJOR league players.
The band sound tight, yet retain a power and urgency and fluidity straight out of the practice room.
Along with "Ten", they would never be this immediate and downright angry again...truly essential Pearl Jam

Vs. by Pearl Jam
'Vs' (1993) lives up to its predecessor musically. It topped 'Ten' commercially, charting at No. 1 in the US, Can, Aus, most of Europe, and reached No. Read more

Really Good
Probably one of my favourite Pearl Jam along with Ten. This album demonstrates the musical range of Pearl Jam, with heavy riff based tracks and soft acoustic tracks, without it all... Read more

Not a bad album. Worth it for the derranged Go, and Rats is quite good, but goes on a bit in places.

Perfection
Often overlooked in comparison to Ten and Vitalogy, Vs. is quite simply the finest album ever to come out of the Pearl Jam Workshop. Read more
