No Code by Pearl Jam (CD, Aug-1996, Epic USA)

I originally bought this album when it was released in 1996. After listening to it hundreds of times it began to wear out so I re-purchased it on ebay. This is my all-time favorite Pearl Jam album. It's a combination of soft tunes like Around The Bend, and Off He Goes, with harder rock tunes like Hail Hail, Habit, and Present Tense (which is a very under rated song). There is nothing that I dislike about this album, it is a classic.

No Code is a strong CD with several great songs. Smile reminds me of their Neil Young collaboration, and Red Mosquito is a great example of Pearl Jam's ability to rock while sounding melancholy at the same time, while Hail Hail just plain rocks. It is not my favorite Pearl Jam CD but even a lesser Pearl Jam CD is better than most other rock CDs from the past 20 years. Some people think that Pearl Jam put out some mediocre CD's during the last 10 years but I've yet to figure out what the @#$%they are talking about, since I have heard all of theme except Riot Act, and I wouldn't call any of them mediocre.

I consider this album to be pretty laid back in comparison to their other albums. So, if you’re having a day where all you want to do is sit out in the sun and listen to music, this album would suit the mood perfectly.

a truly magnificent example of the seattle scene.all the renditions are musically entrigueing to the disciplined and untrained ears alike.

The product and the seller were excellent! The transaction was perfect. These are the kinds of people that need to be on e-bay!

I've always had this album...somewhere...couldn't find it, so decided to buy a used copy and it plays flawlessly! Thanks ebay NOW REINSTATE ME SO THAT I MIGHT BID!
