Pearl Jam - No Code

This is quite a divisive album.  For the “true fans” of the band, they love it.  It’s the sound of a band walking to the beat of its own drum.  For the rest of us, this is where we parted ways.  I didn’t like this album in 1996 and listening to it again 25 years later, I still don’t.  This is the sound of a band taking a step back from their established sound and trying new things.  Some might argue that without this album they wouldn’t be an active band to this day as it allowed them to broaden their sound.  I’m not so sure.  It feels like a bit of a mess. I don’t think I’ll be revisiting this album anytime soon.
