Generations in the post-millennial future will one day refer to this record to discover exactly how 1990s rock & roll was done. When the reclusive Cornell ventures out of his shy-guy shell, it's typically via a primal scream of cathartic emotion-he might camp it up with a sophomoric "Spoon Man," but most of this vicious disc leaps straight for your jugular. Seattle sludge slingers Soundgarden made a living out of cathartic, woe-is-me wailing (we're talking the banshee vocals of Chris Cornell and the crypt-creaking guitar of Kim Thayil), but this wallowing in grim depression ironically proved to be the band's most uplifting career effort.

Subsequent albums are more intricate, subtle, thematically complex, and, in many ways, better than Ten. The personal, narrative singles "Alive," "Jeremy," and "Even Flow" catapulted the reluctant band into the 10-million-plus-sales division. And lead singer Eddie Vedder was known for his possessed stage presence and a primal growl that sounded like it required three vocal chords. But before that, they were a simply an in-your-face, in-your-head, loud, melodic rock band. Over time, PJ's rep as a politically correct band just a little too above it all to prostitute its music on MTV has nearly superseded the music. Genre: ROCK/POP Ten SpecificationsPart of the '90s Seattle grunge triumvirate completed by Nirvana and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam debuted with Ten, their most accessible, least self-conscious album. *** Product Information and Prices Stored: 06:31:21 While the album was originally recorded in 1996, Soundgarden disbanded shortly afterwards, causing it to sit on the shelves for over a decade until their 2010 reunion.
Their first live release, Live on I-5 captures Soundgarden during their tour for Down on the Upside.

Shrewdly compiled by the band into an "Up" disc that chronicles the band's driving, Stone Gossard-Mike McCready fueled hard rock dramatics (including such early career landmarks as "Jeremy," "Alive" and "Even Flow" alongside more aggressive fare like "Go" and "Spin the Black Circle") and a "Down" side that focuses more on Eddie Vedder's brooding, often dark ballads ("Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town," "Yellow Ledbetter," their unlikely hit cover of the oldie "Last Kiss"), it's a collection that underscores both the band's range and musical integrity. This 33-track double-disc career retrospective documents the arc of a career that went from arena and radio triumphs in the early 90's (while Nirvana's promise imploded in the wake of hype, Pearl Jam's crowd-pleasing fame only burgeoned) to the uncompromising, core audience-focused tack that carried the band into the 21st century.
