We all want Pearl Jam to deliver at their highest peak at least one more time. Which other bands have been made great records, only to go through slower periods, and then make a great comeback album (or several)?
Some Girls 1978 from Rolling Stones, but then it does feel more like a Riot Act album in career retrospective, than it does a Pearl Jam 11 album.
Tom Waits - Mule Variations 1999 was impressive after so many years. Johnny Cash with American Recordings 1994. But still they are not bands, probably easier for a solo artist.

I personally loved everything Sonic Youth did in the 90s, but with the exception of WM and their Simpsons appearance they really seemed to come close to irrelevancy in that stretch between Jet Set and NYC Ghosts. Nurse and Rather Ripped felt like amazing "comebacks" to me in that context.

As much as No Code can be revered by hardcore fans it did not go over well at the time. Yield was a greater hit with the general population.
There is only three years between Vitalogy and Yield, and they also toured and released Mirrorball and Merkinball in that period. No Code peaked at 1, Yield peaked at 2, those are US numbers. I believe No Code has also outsold Yield, and is generally rated as close to, equal or better in quality. I do remember that the spin at the time was that No Code was different from what people expected, while Yield was more pleasing for the fans. But I think that is vastly overstated. And surely it can not be considered a great comeback coming after a longer period of creative drought.

This is flagrant thread abuse
Wait. Why?
