Grunge veterans sure to trigger nostalgia with deluxe re-release.
Back in the day, Pearl Jam was one of the most popular hard rock groups in existence, and this album reminds us why. The raspy, yet lyrical voice of Eddie Vedder shines through on every track, and Pearl Jam classics like Even Flow, Alive and Jeremy sound better than ever, thanks to remixed versions on the second disc of this deluxe two-disc collection.
