I first heard Pearl Jam when I was in my early teens when Jeremy played on MTV and loved the first record. I then got the second record and did not like it as much, and overtime I started to lose track of the band.

Maybe I was a bit too young to understand how they were changing or what they are trying to do, and lost track of both my CDs and the band for the most part.

I wanted to hear the songs again, so picked up this collection since it had the big hits I remembered and other things throughout the years. And I was pleasently suprised when I realized I missed some good songs throughout the years.

Perhaps my tastes have changed, but if you liked Pearl Jam at the beginning, it is nice to go back and listen once again. Gave me a chance to find things I missed.
