Let's put this in perspective for a second, Pearl Jam's "Ten" and "Vs"
were two of the greatest albums of all-time (in my opinion). I agree you
that "Vitalogy" wasn't too strong of an album and that "No Code" was an
embarrassment. However, "Yield" was one of the best albums of the year
and I doubt you could find a better one. Perhaps you should consider
some of the bands who have done nothing before you say Pearl Jam is
overrated. Pearl Jam is one of the few bands ever that cannot be
accused of "selling out" and after "Yield", I would say they're on the
right track. You've obviously never seen Pearl Jam live either, they're
one of only a handful of bands that can compete with U2 for intensity
and drama on stage.
