Ten

Product Information

Of course this has always been the case for vinyl pressings of Ten and isn't the fault of this specific pressing. Most of the songs began as instrumental jams, to which Vedder added lyrics about topics such as depression, homelessness, and abuse.

Pearl Jam – Ten (1992, Vinyl) - Discogs

Check the dead wax info with previous pressings listed on Discogs on the edit master list for that particular Pearl Jam album. Easily mistaken for lack of dynamics…because in comparison to the cd version, that has a lot (to much perhaps?Ten Club was born from the remains of the Mother Love Bone Earth Affair - a fan organization started by Pearl Jam in 1990 as a way for the band to give back to their fans and create a community around Pearl Jam's music. I assume Target works with a third party who usually just takes whatever the most recent mastering is and presses it on colored vinyl? Also, since this was remastered in 2009 (and they released the Brendan O'Brien "Redux" version) and then reissued again a couple years' back, I'm curious about the mastering on this version. The 2017 reissue seems to be the best bet sound wise after the first US press (94) and the European/Holland (1992) pressing right?

Ten may be classic rock today, but it's easy to underestimate how radical Pearl Jam sounded back in 1991, even with Nirvana ascendant. Here was a frontman with an entirely new stage presence, whose voice strained hard for sincerity and whose songwriting expressed grave self-reckoning without resorting to easy sentiments or self-glorifying choruses.

Wasn’t even planning on listening to the remix and was about to send the whole thing back because the remaster is meekly cut to noisy vinyl. This reissue is fine if you just want to listen to Pearl Jam and not pick apart the small inaccuracies of an average vinyl pressing. Today, Ten lives and dies by its album tracks, and while there are a few clunkers, most are pretty ballsy in their disdain for expectations. Why Go" is ferocious in its outrage, with Vedder delivering his most pained vocals, and Stone Gossard and Mike McCready match him on every song, translating Vedder's howls into messy, edge-of-the-precipice solos and paint-peeling riffs like the one that anchors "Deep".
