After Ten, Pearl Jam’s hugely successful debut album, expectations for Vs. were massive. Vs. sold nearly 1 million albums in its first week released, but many fans of Ten were actually disappointed. Many were looking for the echoey, polished sound that is present in Ten, when Vs. is much harder and raw. I love Ten, but in my opinion, Vs. is even better. Pearl Jam proved that they weren’t going to cash in on Ten remakes, but that they were going to make music that they wanted. Vs. has an explosive and focused energy that in my opinion shows that they were better than their contemporaries Nirvana and Soundgarden, whose sound had yet to mature.
