Pearl JamTen

One of my current favorite bands I love that the case is made of plastic and not paper especially for a collector it looks nicer thank paper it comes with a poster that is not mentioned to my knowledge but to use the poster you have to take out the cover of the case which is a shame

I never expected that a remixed version of "Ten" would ever be undertaken. After all, I was never aware of audible outcry from fans over the past 18 years demanding a re-mix of Pearl Jam's debut album. After reading an interview with Jeff Ament in which he expressed the same slight "annoyance" with the original mix that I have had all of these years, I was a surprised. I wasn't sure if anyone else had the same small gripe that I have had, and to find out one of the band members was thinking the same thing all these years was pretty neat.My gripe is best is best exemplified during track #3 "Alive" at min sec.At this point it is clear just how much reverb is on the mix. Reverb helps smooth and blend instruments and vocals together. This is not a bad thing in and of itself, but the overuse of reverb smoothed out the grit and edge of these songs in my opinion.Now que up track # 3 "Alive" on the remixed version of the album at min sec. WOW!! I was blown away!! I never looked forward to this point of the song knowing that the revealing of this reverb was taking serious edge off of all of the songs on the CD. This was terribly apparent with the release of "VS" which has much more grit and edge to the sound. I had always wished "Ten" had the same grit and edge because the playing on the album clearly demonstrated that everyone was playing with intensity, but the edge was subdued. NO LONGER!! Now you can enjoy "Ten" the way I wish it had initially been released.Now, I cannot fault Brendan O'Brian or anyone else for the original 1991 mix, after all we were coming out of the 80's which produced some serious overuse of effects, EQing, etc in order to make recordings sound "contemporary" at the time. Nowadays, many of these recordings sound very dated. Listen to Sinatra from the 40s, 50s or 60s and while the music may be cemented in a specific genre which 50 years later may sound "dated" to some (not so to me though because I love Sinatra), the recordings sound natural, no artificial flavors added!! I am so pleased to have this unexpected version of "Ten" which reveals the edge, grit and guts that the guys played with and which launched them to international stardom.I send a hearty "Thank You" to Brendan O'Brian and the members of Pearl Jam for revisiting "Ten"!! Crank the volume up the "Ten" and ROCK HARD!!PS: Yes, the compression for loudness-sake is unfortunate but to be expected in this day and age. I look forward to getting the LP version as well.PPS: The DVD of the MTV Unplugged session is great to have!!

Love this album, that my son bought me for mother's day!It came in perfect condition and was delivered on time.

Don't listen to the magazine review that tells you the 'Ten Deluxe Edition' is only for die-hard fans. Don't listen to that one friend of yours who threw away his iPod because he suddenly discovered the "integrity" of LPs and who told you that the Deluxe Ed. is Pearl Jam selling-out on the same day he ordered the 'Drop In The Park' LP with same day shipping.Truth is, the Deluxe Edition is as important to the Pearl Jam listening experience as the 'With the Lights Out' box set is to the Nirvana listening experience: like behind-the-scene cuts in a much-loved movie, it gives you liner notes in sound bytes, sonic history for songs you grew up with in the 90's and now know so well you vocally reproduce McCready's "Evenflow" solo from the original album every time it plays on the radio.The remastered Ten is smoother, the transitions less spacey. You can actually hear the guitar solos clearly this time around, without needing to turn up the volume at important parts. "Why Go" is finally, FINALLY, as loud as it was meant to be. You can delete the older version off your portable music device now.The Ten Remixes blew my mind away and half an ear-drum. Not going to get into the loudness issue; fact is, Eddie's lyrics for all 11 songs are heard clearer than ever before. Apart from certain concert outtakes, this is the one time your ears will have multiple orgasms over McCready and Gossard's guitar work. "Breathe & Scream" and "Just a Girl" are nostalgia trips, because its pure early 90's sound. "2,000 mile Blues" is a track that makes me wish that Pearl Jam puts out a blues EP at some point, if only to mess with all our heads. McCready has tonnes of fun with that track, and it's definitely worth the listen. "Evil Little Goat" sounds like Elvis meets Mark Arm over too much grain alcohol. Seriously. I still do prefer the original version of "Black": it's darker, more sober, and a little more subtle than the robust sound of O'Brien's remix.Favorites on this cd?1. "Brother"2. "Garden"3. "Porch"4. "State of Love and Trust" (when it's slower, it's better.)And we finally get a bonafide DVD copy of the unplugged show! Without them pesky time/date stamp numbers and fuzzy lines that appeared in every Youtube clip of that show! Never again. And we should all be thankful. Sure, this deluxe edition could be just a marketing maneuver. But when the sound quality is this good, frankly, I don't give a [...].
