The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
half the people on here didn't even know who pearl jam was when 'no code' came out. i feel like the overall opinion at the time was pearl jam trying to be less commercial and more experimental on 'no code', but if you ask this board today is probably #1 or #2 behind 'yield'.
riot act had a pretty bum reputation around here when it came out

I more or less discovered that there were actually people talking online about Pearl Jam at some point post No Code and prior to Yield being released. It wasn't universal, but at that time No Code was definitely considered by the majority to be the bands weakest release to date. Then at some point in the next couple of years the online majority were talking about it being the bands best.

Because everything leading up to Lightning Bolt was so good.
Is what you mean?
I'd say Backspacer was the first one to not meet the level of the album prior. I like parts of it, but the lows for me are lower than Pearl Jam: The Album.

I just mean that the jump in quality from Lightning Bolt to Gigaton is so significant its like nothing we've ever seen from a new Pearl Jam release.
