Ten

Ten has a lot going for it, it's consistent with it's sonic intentions but without being mundane or repetitive. This is the Jaramir Jagr of grunge albums. While In Utero and Siamese Dream get all this systemic praise this one skates by under the rug. It is drenched in purity and illness. Songs like Even Flow, Alive, Black and Jeremy coexisting on one freaking SIDE is like a party in your ear drum and none of the attendees have pants on. But enough of the horseradish and the habidasheries. Let's get into the instrumentation of the thing.

Eddie Vedder's vocals are iconic and distinguishable and where as he isn't perhaps the floaty boaty that Billy Corbin is. He has a sick growly style that lends him to the genre. A grunge staple. And the guitar work and most especially the drum work on this thing is stylistically smart and has depth. Especially on songs like Jeremy. Each songs placement feels well suited too. To anchor on Jeremy is a smart move for tonality. This thing is a beast. And I love it darely.

Best Song - Alive

Worst Song - Idk...
