This is Pearl Jam darkest, and most experimental album. Recorded at a time when the band had become disenchanted with their sudden rise to fame, and in the wake of Kurt Cobain's recent suicide, the album sounds like a band trying their hardest to alienate their audience. While songs such as 'Bugs' and 'Stupid Mop' are Pearl Jam at their most self indulgent, the album features many classics, such as the punk 'Spin the Black Circle', the mournful Immortality, Corduroy, one of the band's best rockers, and many more of the band's best songs. The lyrics are also Vedder at his best, in turn angry and introspective. Although not as commercial as their debut, Ten, Vitalogy is without a doubt the band's most ambitious album to date, and while it may take some time to sink in, it will soon reveal itself as a dark, mournful classic.Read full review
