Since its inception, the band’s line-up has included Eddie Vedder (lead vocals, guitar), Jeff Ament (bass guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), Mike McCready (lead guitar), and drummer Matt Cameron, who has been with the band since 1998.įormed after the demise of Ament and Gossard’s previous band Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album Ten. Is an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. Vitalogy was nominated for 1996 Grammys for Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album. "Spin The Black Circle" won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Recorded November 1993 – October 1994 in Seattle, Washington Atlanta, Georgia New Orleans, LouisianaĮngineered by Nick DiDie, Brendan O'Brien Mike McCready, vocals, guitar, slide guitar Each helps make „Vitalogy“ a proud notch on the band's growing musical belt. All are delivered with such taste and assurance, that rather than sounding unnatural and forced, they only further illuminate Pearl Jam's artistic strides. The proof is all over the place: "Corduroy" is an honest-to-goodness pop song, disguised in Seattle garb "Not For You" brings the band's Crazy Horse fetish to the forefront, combining a folky melody with a ripping, electric arrangement while "Bugs," "Aye Davanita," and "Hey Foxymophandlemama" are, respectively, an accordion-driven stomp, a raga-like instrumental, and a feedback-laden sound collage. Nevertheless, „Vitalogy“is revolutionary by Pearl Jam standards because it presents a collection of actually crafted songs, and succeeds in spotlighting the band's growing diversity. There's nothing fancy to „Vitalogy“: no ACHTUNG BABY or OUT OF TIME-like transformations, no post-modern gimmickry, no Steve Albini sound. present this 55-minute tour de force as a treatise to win over the alternative non-believers and drop the excess baggage of fame. Whether by throwing meatless bones at some blindly zealous fans, or by moving their sound out of the grunge-land that they once called home, Vedder & Co. Wider in scope than any 70mm film, „Vitalogy“ is the album on which Pearl Jam demands that the pigeonholing cease and desist once and for all.
