I had Ten originally taped onto a 90 min cassette, with the other side Vs. - I didn’t own the album before Vs. came out. So with 45 mins per side, Release was cut off, and it was years before I properly heard Master/Slave. Maybe it took that much longer for me to fully get Release since the album ended for me with Releeease m—“.

I understand how one could be disappointed in albums after Ten if this is the Pearl Jam you fell in love with. Nothing in their catalog sounds remotely similar to Ten

Ocean is the first song that shows how varied Pearl Jam will become later on Porch is the song with the most energy on this thing. Interesting that this is the first Eddie song of Pearl Jam chronologically. You can see that he is slightly more influenced by punk rock than Stone and Jeff in the first song already. Not that Porch is punk, but it's the fastest thing on here. The signs were here already!!!!

Deep and Garden are the only songs that I would describe as "heavy" on here. I'm not the biggest fan of either and they make the end of the album kind of sluggish.

That was an interesting listen. I haven't listened to Ten in full in a long time. I enjoyed it quite a bit but also know why I don't listen to it very often. It's just not really my style of music.
It's way more mellow and relaxed than I remember it being.
Spontaneous ranking tiers:
Release Porch -------- Alive Even Flow Oceans ------- Black Once Why Go Jeremy ------- Deep Garden
