| | No Code |
 | | No Code, an energetic, loose, and pointed collection that may be the Seattle juggernaut's most thought-provoking work thus far — even if it doesn't contain an album-defining anthem like an "Alive," a "Jeremy," or a "Daughter." "There's a sun around the bend," the usually truculent Eddie Vedder sings on the album's last song. |
 | | The ever-evolving Pearl Jam goes soul searching on its fourth album, broadening its musical palette well beyond its grungy origins. |
 | | No Code may be best summarized in the way Vedder sings the chorus of "I'm Open," intoning the words in a chesty, enraptured way over and over again: "I'm open, I'm open, I'm open...." Believe the music, even if you don't buy the rest of it. |
