It is hard to classify this band as either grunge or rock but I will stick to just their grunge music for this review. However it is safe to say this is my favorite grunge band for a couple of reasons. First is that they do have a grunge sound but are not singing about how awful life is in all of their songs. Second is the great vocals of Eddie Vedder, his voice has a powerful affect on listeners in any of his songs, espically ones with a slower beat.The greatest example of this is the impact he had on my thinking of suicide with the song "Jeremy" Finally is that their sound enters into rock and country style which gives them a different grunge feeling.
I give Pearl Jam a 4 out of 5 stars. This rating is because some of their songs just don't fit the vibe of the entire album and can throw off people who enjoy listening to whole albums. Also many of Pearl Jam songs can seem too similiar and too slow for some listeners. I suggest listening to their early albums Ten and Vs and also for those Pearl Jam lovers out there Backspacer is also an exceptional album.
