Pearl Jam - No Code (Epic) "Hey, Eddie, we've finished our bits, come and do some vocals." "No. I don't want to." "Please Eddie." "OK, OK. If you promise to stop bugging me - Moan, moan, whine, moan, whine." That's the impression I go from this album. Eddie Vedder is taking this anti-fame thing way too far. If he wants to quit, why doesn't he? If not, could he please stop moaning. The songs are typical Pearl Jam. Strong Led Zep / Black Sab riffs, a pounding bass and Eddie Vedder whining. The whining only lets up for one song, the very Bob Mould-esque Mankind. Recommended only if you want to be whined at for 45 or so minutes. My advice to Vedder is "cheer up or shut up." by Donnacha DeLong
