Title: pearl jam's best album
Review: This is a great collection of rarities. The exclusion of "State of Love and Trust" prevents it from being perfect; regardless it is the band's most cohesive and listenable album. There is no artsy, pretentious filler, no half-assed sonic experiments. It's just a great collection of passionate, well-played rock songs. Until the band releases a singles collection or retrospective (if they ever do, the band, I'm sure, has some sort of quasi-political objection to such things) this will stand as the most representative of the band's albums. If you like this band at all, buy this album. If not, why the hell are you reading this?
