'in hiding' is a good pj song as far as the more (relatively) recent stuff goes.
the ballads haven't been good since vitalogy

The last PJ album is actually really good, despite its terrible cover art.
No one was as shocked as I was. But it shouldn't have been, as they've improved with each album.

I love the first track on No Code, but it's all ruined by the second one which comes in with all the welcomness of an irritating alarm clock.

Ha - I actually prefer the cover art to the actual album (which has decent enough songs, but Eddie and/or the production just fucks 'em all up).

yeah his vocal performances on that album are easily the worst of his career. beyond a couple decent singles I don't understand any of the love for s/t.

"Mankind" is the reason I once almost considered buying the Stone Gossard solo album.

yeah I don't know what I was on that day.

aw come on

haha I meant the day I started this thread, not the day I considered buying a Stone Gossard album. is it good? should I?

I have no idea! I don't think I've gotten within light years of any Pearl Jam side project. All my drinking money these days gets spent on keeping up with members of Veruca Salt.

I saw a Brad music video on 120 Minutes once. It was a gentle AC piano ballad with Shawn Smith asking you to think what makes you laugh and think what makes you sing. Stone was putting some sparse wacka-chicka on it.

All I remember about the Mad Season song they'd play on the radio is jesus christ I hate Layne Stanley.

I remember a Brad song with lots of slap-bass.

haha yeah I think Stone had to get his funk jones elsewhere once Pearl Jam banished its wah wah pedal/touring with RHCP/"Dirty Frank" beginnings post-Vs..

still a great record!!

they were on an episode of Austin City Limits recently, and Eddie did "Lukin" ACOUSTIC WITH A STRING SECTION and they also played "Red Mosquito" w/ Ben Harper on slide guitar, it was like the whole thing was geared toward No Code geeks like me.

weird that probably my 2 most enthusiastic threads ever (this & Philadelphia Freeway) were revived on the same day.

"Smile" sounds great.
