Pearl Jam-Vitalogy
This is where Pearl Jam got a little weird. They lost the antagonism that their second album had and the Generation X defining angst that their first album had. Weird doesn't mean bad though-it's a good album overall with among their most well known songs on it. My love of Pearl Jam has hopefully been established. I think they are one of the greatest bands of all time, no question. They've lasted an incredibly long time and continue to put out great album after great album.
"Betterman" is up there with "Jeremy" and "Evenflow" as one of their better known songs. It's not even close to my favorite song on the album. "Spin the Black Circle", "Corduroy" and "Tremor Christ" are my favorite tracks. There are some weird ones too, like "Bugs" and "Aye Davanita".
Be careful with this album. If you are new to Pearl Jam their first two albums are better. This one should be bought by fans or with the expectation that you might not like every song.
