Pearl Jam
Vitalogy
First Appeared at The Music Box,
August 1995, Volume 2, #7
Written by John Metzger
This group just keeps getting better and better. This album is the most polished performance to
date, but still manages to capture the energy of earlier releases. Singer/songwriter Eddie Vedder,
clearly the inspiration for the group, has obviously thought long and hard about what happened to
friend Kurt Cobain, and this work is the end result of that meditation.
Pearl Jam, often criticized as being a commercialized result of the media focus on the Seattle
grunge scene, has more than proven they are here to stay. From the pounding look at death in Last
Exit, to the punk-influenced look at heroin abuse in Spin the Black Circle to the soulful
cry for victims of spousal abuse in Better Man this album covers a depressing, but honest
look at the dark side of life.
