Free Music Notes for Ten
Free Music Review: TEN!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is exactly that. There's not a lousy song on here, although I do get a bit tired of hearing the radio-staples. If you haven't heard it yet, you definitely should. What else can I say? It's all great. Moody, atmospheric, big, edgy, dark, light, mysterious! Well produced, better played. kthxbye.Free Music Review: A Classic of Grunge -- and of Rock More Generally
Hit: 4 Stars
While many albums cannot stand the test of time, this is one of the few that has -- and with flying colors. Every time "Even Flow", "Once", "Alive", "Black", or "Jeremy" comes on the radio, I ALWAYS turn the volume up. If anyone in the car objects to one of these songs (or any other Pearl Jam songs) remaining playing, I make it known that I would be very displeased if the station were to be changed.
There is indeed a good deal of filler on this album (I don't consider Oceans filler, however, as do some people; I think it stands on its own as a good, if subdued, song), but it is not bad filler.
"Ten" is a truly enjoyable, very re-listenable album, and a good debut. However, I must make it known that it is not Pearl Jam's best album. Most of their subsequent (and often lesser-known) efforts are more mature and more thought-out than "Ten". Yet, "Ten" remains a watershed moment in the rock genre, and was the start of what would become one of the most prodigious bands of the 1990s and 2000s (and hopefully past that).
Free Music Review: One of the best records ever recorded by a long shot
Hit: 5 Stars
If you've never heard 'Ten' before, I don't care what style of music you like, whether it be classical or tween pop, you must listen to Pearl Jam's 1991 debut and masterpiece 'Ten.'
This was the record that skyrocketed PJ to fame. Sure many classics would follow, like 'Binaural' and 'Vs.' But this was the record that jumpstarted Pearl Jam.
And with songs this perfect, it's not hard to see why. 'Even Flow,' 'Jeremy,' 'Porch,' and 'Alive' are some of the greatest songs ever written, and Eddie Vedder's flawless voice helped make 'Ten' the ideal grunge record.
And it sounds just as fresh today as it sounded 17 years ago. This record is by far Pearl Jam's best record, although every record they put out was superb, but it's not only PJ's best record, it's one of the best records PERIOD.
If you've never checked out 'Ten,' than you are really missing out. Highly recommended for any music lover. A masterpiece.
ENJOY!!!

Hit: 5 Stars
Coming out around the same time Nirvana exploded "Ten" established Pearl Jam as one of the most popular Northwest (Seattle) "grunge" bands. Many put them in that music category, even though, in my opinion, there isn't much "grunge" about them. Singer Eddie Vedder has impassioned vocals and excellent songwriting abilities.
It did take sometime for the album to take off, but it ended up becoming one of the '90's best. "Even Flow" is arguably the band's most arena radio hit with it's singable chorus, while "Alive" contains ever-so-depressing lyrics on top of up-lifting music ending with a blistering Mike McCready guitar solo.
"Black" is more on the dark side in the form of a moody ballad. Vedder's vocals shine throughout the whole album and make each song great. The album is named after the number of the band's favorite basketball player Mookie Blaylock and I believe they played at small clubs before their big success under that name. This is my favorite Pearl Jam album.
