Album notes
Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder (vocals); Mike McCreedy, Stone Gossard (guitar); Jeff Ament (bass); Dave Krusen (drums). Additional personnel: Walter Gray (cello); Rick Parashar (piano, organ, percussion). Engineers: Dave Hills, Don Gilmore, Adrian Moore. Recorded at London Bridge Studios, Seattle, Washington from March to April, 1991. TEN, Pearl Jam's debut album, was released less than a month before Nirvana's NEVERMIND, and although it took longer to climb the pop charts it also hung around longer, eventually outselling its Seattle rival. Together, the two albums reinvigorated rock & roll, whose share of the pop marketplace had been slipping through the late 1980s. But while Nirvana's bruising punk rock was an all-out assault on the classic-rock dinosaur, Pearl Jam's accomplished hard rock was an attack from within the system. The drawn-out, bluesy guitar riffing and anthemic choruses that dominated TEN instantly gave away roots in the same popular hard rock and heavy metal that Nirvana was intent on crushing. Indeed, before forming Pearl Jam, guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament (who between them wrote most of the music on TEN) were the core of two '70s-influenced metal bands, Green River and Mother Love Bone. But in place of the self-aggrandizing, larger-than-life singers that led most such bands, Gossard and Ament found Eddie Vedder, an explosive vocalist with a ravaged timbre more apt to identify with the abused and misunderstood children he was singing about (and to) than with any other rock stars. After producer Brendan O'Brien remastered a few TEN tracks for the later greatest-hits collection, REARVIEWMIRROR, the band pressed him for years to remaster the entire album. In 2009, the band re-released TEN with O'Brien's remaster, a rendering that strips away the early '90s reverb and lays bare the scabrous edges in both the twin guitars and Vedder's voice. Including many extra tracks and paraphernalia, the many different versions of the reissue placed the official stamp of "classic" on a record that always had the air of one.
Editorial reviews
Included in Q's list of the 50 Best Albums Of 1992. Q (01/01/1993) Included in Q Magazine's 90 Best Albums Of The 1990s. Q (12/01/1999) Ranked #32 in Spin Magazine's 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s. Spin (09/01/1999) Performance Challenging / Recording Good - ...the band sounds larger than life, producing a towering inferno of roaring guitars, monumental bass and drums, and from-the-gut vocals...the tunes here surge, ebb, and surge again... Stereo Review (01/01/1992) 4 Stars - Excellent - ...a raucous modern rock, spiked with infectious guitar motifs and powered with driving bass and drums...may well be the face of the 90's metal... Q (03/01/1992) Ranked #34 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992. Village Voice (03/02/1993) Ranked #15 in Spin's list of the 20 Best Albums Of 1991. Spin (01/01/1993) The hit singles 'Jeremy' and 'Alive' wove serious lyrical subject matter to flurrying guitar solos and singer Eddie Vedder's hectoring vocals... Q [T]hese songs are as touching today as the day they came out... Kerrang 4 stars out of 5 -- [With] classic songwriting that wasn't afraid to wear its influences on its sleeve....The freewheeling guitars of 'Even Flow' and 'Jeremy' sounded vintage even then, so it's no surprise that they've held up so well after all these years. Q 5 stars out of 5 -- It's an exhilarating punk howl....It's a batch of outsider's tales coursing with beefy swagger... Blender 4 stars out of 5 -- TEN is a classic of the grunge era, its super-sized anthems and introspective mood pieces powerfully voiced by Eddie Vedder... Mojo With its nod to classic '70s rock in the shotgun guitars and engaging Vedder's ragged, back-to-the-wall fury dissecting a fractured family life anthem like 'Alive' and 'Jeremy' sound as relevant and impassioned today as they did on the original release. Kerrang 4 stars out of 5 -- 'Alive' hits harder; 'Black' feels broader in scope; and Eddie Vedder's soaring vocals on 'Oceans' shine brighter. Rolling Stone
