CRITIC REVIEWS
I was hearing that Yield tanks after Brain of J, but I don’t see it. So many catchy moments all over this thing, the production is the sharpest it had ever been for this band, and by their own standards there is a healthy amount of variety across the entire tracklist.

GRUNGE DIARIES #16
PEARL JAM #6

The band have added a pinch of grunge back into their music, adding some more punch to the songs and making them catchier.

En Yield, Pearl Jam pareciera retomar un poco a su forma que lucieron en sus primeros discos. Hay puntos bastante altos pero también hay puntos bastante mediocres que de alguna forma hacen de este un disco un poco menos disfrutable de como debería realmente ser.
