Vs.
Vs. is the second studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released October 19, 1993 through Epic Records. After a relentless touring schedule in support of their 1991 debut album Ten, Pearl Jam headed into the studio in early 1993 facing the challenge of following up the commercial success of its debut. The resulting album, Vs., featured a rawer and more aggressive sound compared with the band's previous release. It was the band's first collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien and its first album with drummer Dave Abbruzzese. -Wikipedia

Vs. may not reach the majestic heights of Ten, but at least half the record stands with Pearl Jam's best work.

Sputnik Music
One of the most diverse and satisfying albums of the early '90s alternative era.

Fortunately for us, the music reigned supreme and Pearl Jam proved their worth with Vs..

Bullz-eye
They followed up a remarkable debut release with an equally impressive sequel. But they also dared to experiment on Vs., dared to be dissatisfied, and dared to challenge their fans with an album that refused to reach new heights by merely standing on its predecessor's lofty shoulders. The Pearl Jam tree had its first branch, and many more would soon follow.

Pearl Jam’s Vs. Remains the Sound of a Band Raging Against Its Own Success.

Classic Rock Review
Vs. does not finish as strongly as it should have.

ut in my books the hook-filled boogie of “Glorified G” and “Rearviewmirror” is what really make Vs. worth a dig into your purses.
