Homer’s Records on 61st and O
streets paired with radio station
KDGE-FM (101.9) Monday night for
a midnight release party of Pearl Jam’s
latest album, “No Code.”
For nearly two hours, a mild-man
nered crowd of roughly ISO Pearl Jam
fans enjoyed 101.9’s live broadcast
from the store.
“This was a really good tum-out for
an in-sale, midnight release,” said Amy
Brechbill, buyer fa Homers Records.
She said the release of this album
is at least as big, if not bigger, than the
midnight release of Metallica’s
“Load.” Sales were still brisk TUesday.
“No Code” contains 13 brand new
tracks, including radio hits “Who You
Are” and “Mosquito,” and is available
at Hamer’s and all area record stores.

“No Code”
Epic Records
Grade: A
Pearl Jam has struggled with its past
two albums to create a disc that can
compare with the overwhelming emo
tional outlet captured on ‘Ten.” While
“No Code” may not contain the bel
lowing vocals and surging grunge gui
tars of “Ten,” it harnesses a more ma
ture and intelligent message than past
projects.
This disc goes where no Pearl Jam
album has gone before. Pianos reso
nate in the background of several cuts.
They are used in “Around the Bend,”
which asserts itself as a folksy tune with
a bit of a Seattle-Spanish love ballad
tossed in, to “Off He Goes”, a lyrically
soft and sorrowful song about the stress
of existence and bowing out when it
becomes too great.
Lyrically this album is unequalled
by any of its predecessors. Eddie
Vedder mice again steps on the soap
box as with “vs.” and expounds lec
ture lyrics with songs such as “Habit”
—about the trappings of drug use (any
body else smell the irony?). “Smile”
sports some snappy Seattle-esque lyr
ics such as “When the sun don’t shine,
check until paydayl
Ne cash all paychecks and provide Western Union

“Who You Are” is a guaranteed
Edge hit with Vedder accompanied by
background harmonizing that would
make Boyz n Men forget to match their
khakis. “I’m Open” begins with a spo
ken word intro accompanied with sci
fi instrumentals—and here I think we
see a glimpse of the pain puncturing
his songs: “After spending half his life
searching he still felt as blank as the
ceiling at which he stared. He is alive
but feels nothing, so is he?” Vedder’s
deep vocals and ambient lyrics have
attained a new level of insight and pre
cision. He is jaded and poetic and an
gry and sad, as is the entire disc.
Vedder is backed brilliantly by the
band, whose recent exposure to Neil
Young is extremely apparent an tracks
such as “Mankind” and “Smile.” Pearl
Jam’s new drummer, Jack Irons (I as
sume it’s his real name) makes an ex
tremely strong showing and exerts
blazing vibrance in “In My TVee.”
Gossard’s vocals are simply cool in
“Mankind” and he writes Vedder lyr
ics better than Eddie.
This is the best project Pearl Jam
has put together since “Ten.” While
every album they assemble will con
stantly be graded in its shadow, “No
Code” surpasses ‘Ten” with the strong
variety of melodic, lyrical and instru
mental style. They out and out jam on
this disc. And Vedder allows us to see
a little more of why he sings Hire hf
does.
