Bargain Audio CDs & Priceless Collection (series)

Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's."
4 Stars - Excellent - "...it's a wildly uneven and difficult record, sometimes maddening, sometimes ridiculous, often powerful..."
Ranked #5 on Spin's list of the '20 Best Albums Of '95.'
"...one seriously demented record...VITALOGY leaves an odd, unsettling aftertaste. You walk away from it energized, but wondering what price Eddie Vedder, and Pearl Jam, will ultimately pay for it..." - Rating: B+
4 Stars - Excellent - "...anything but the sound of a band stuck in a rut....It speaks volumes for Pearl Jam's continuing creative acumen that they can respond so confidently to a new punk scene that has sprung up...as a reaction [to] the lumbering heaviosity ...of the old grunge pioneers..."
"...In 1994 rawness, unpredictability and artistic depth are rare....America's most popular rock'n'roll band boasts all three attributes--and sounds damn fine to boot..."
Village Voice (2/28/95) - Ranked #25 in the Village Voice's 1994 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
"...VITALOGY is a deeply thought-out representation of what fame means, and the vision it describes is not pretty....[includes] themes of diverted passions, frustration and amorphous discontent..."
Ranked #40 on NME's list of the 'Top 50 Albums Of 1994.'
