Album Review Crew Episode 23: "Ten"
On the 23rd Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny review the 1991 legendary debut album from Pearl Jam, "Ten."
This landmark album is considered one of the greatest debut albums of all time. It is a "grunge" classic that helped define an era, the "Seattle Sound" and has sold over 13 million albums in the US alone.
Picking up from the ashes of Mother Love Bone, guitarist Stone Gossard, bassist Jeff Ament added guitarist extraordinaire Mike McCready and one of a kind singer/songwriter Eddie Vedder. Drummer Dave Krusen was the short term drummer that rounded our the lineup that recorded this epic album which was also produced by Rick Parashar.
The ARC discuss the album's incredible guitars, vocals and lyrics along with the PJ's impact on them and the 1990's. The album boasts many classic songs like Alive, Jeremy, Black, Even Flow and more. Their videos showcase the intensity of the band and their incredible lyrics, especially the award winning Jeremy video.
This was Tom's pick and as usual the guys breakdown the tracks and rank the songs. The boys then rank the album and album cover against the previous 21 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew Episodes.
See if Sonny gets left out on the PORCH and is still ALIVE after this DEEP episode!
