Vs. by Pearl Jam. A 1993 Rolling Stone magazine article.

Send us a text

I dive deep into Pearl Jam's iconic second album, 'Versus'. I consider 'Vs', alongside '10' as a monumental rock album, was a high-stakes follow-up that sold millions and defined the band's career. I examine the band's contrasting experiences recording the album, especially Eddie Vedder's struggle with fame and the luxurious recording conditions. With insights from an article by Andy Green and a nod to Brendan O'Brien's production, I unpack the album's creation, notable tracks like 'Go' and 'Daughter', and shares his personal connection with the album and its impact on his life.
