Album Notes Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder (vocals); Mike McCreedy, Stone Gossard (guitar); Jeff Ament (bass); Dave Krusen (drums). Additional personnel: Walter Gray (cello); Rick Parashar (piano, organ, percussion). Engineers: Dave Hills, Don Gilmore, Adrian Moore. Recorded at London Bridge Studios, Seattle, Washington from March to April, 1991. TEN, Pearl Jam's debut album, was released less than a month before Nirvana's NEVERMIND, and although it took longer to climb the pop charts it also hung around longer, eventually outselling its Seattle rival. Together, the two albums reinvigorated rock and roll, whose share of the pop marketplace had been slipping through the late 1980s. But while Nirvana's bruising punk rock was an all-out assault on the classic-rock dinosaur, Pearl Jam's accomplished hard rock was an attack from within the system. The drawn-out, bluesy guitar riffing and anthemic choruses that dominated TEN instantly gave away roots in the same popular hard rock and heavy metal that Nirvana was intent on crushing. Indeed, before forming Pearl Jam, guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament (who between them wrote most of the music on TEN) were the core of two '70s-influenced metal bands, Green River and Mother Love Bone. But in place of the self-aggrandizing, larger-than-life singers that led most such bands, Gossard and Ament found Eddie Vedder, a ravage-voiced vocalist more apt to identify with the abused and misunderstood children he was singing about than with any other rock stars. When he exploded into one of TEN's many memorable choruses, Vedder offered transcendence for the people who needed it most. The storyline of the album's breakthrough single, "Jeremy," was typically vague and elusive (despite a highly suggestive video), but the message was not. The meek and the misunderstood, Pearl Jam seemed to be saying, would rise and inherit the world, even if it was only a world of their own invention.

Top Reviews  One of the top albums to come out of the Grunge era!Review created: 09/12/06 by:  8 of 10 people found this review helpful. Few bands can claim the success or critical acclaim of a debut album, than Pearl Jam and their initial CD - Ten! Released in 1991, this was a pivotal CD in the Grunge era; selling more copies than Nirvana's Nevermind - the poster child for this music genre! Pearl Jam achieved more fame than they ever expected or indeed wanted with this roaring , rocking album. Eddie Vedder has a strong almost haunting voice as he sings deeply personal lyrics - take the Beautiful, strong yet highly emotional! The there's Jeremy - a superb and to the point song which is obscured by the fact that the video received more attention with the horrifying images of a classroom shooting which alludes to the protagonist killing himself infront of those who taunted him! The lyrics show talent and thought and the song is so melodic and listenable! Evenflow - though not one of my favorites as I feel it is overplayed on the airwaves today, simply rocks and Alive again combines twisted lyrics with work that simply rocks and indeed works! Oceans takes thier musical direction in a whole new turn, the deep just kicks it up a notch again! Eddie Vedder and his distinctive vocals along with deep, emotive and personal lyrics, make this album a true standout among not only the Grunge era but among music in general! I could not be without this CD! Review ID: 10000000001826960 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews Ten- pearl jam fThis the best pearl Jam album ever made.

There are some really good tracks (Evenflow, Black, and Jermey especially) but some of the rest didn't really do it for me. If you're just poking around like me, I'd stick with the greatest hits cd.
