This is album is more political but it still rocks. Eddie's gravelly voice is more vigorous than ever. He rages on songs like "World Wide Suicide" and "Life Wasted" in a vehement, torturous way. He portray his convictions with raw emotions also some tender soul. The harmonizing is impecable between Stone and Mike. They sound as fresh today as when the first time they came on the scene. You can't get a better band than Pearl Jam. Their just perfect.
