If you love In Utero, start Pearl Jam with Vs. (1993) / Vitalogy (1994)

If you're here from In Utero you already know loud. The PJ entry from that angle is Vs./Vitalogy — the era Eddie was most actively trying to NOT be a Nirvana-scale rock star. Animal, Rats, Not for You, Spin the Black Circle, Corduroy — this is the angry, self-destructive PJ. Then pivot to Yield when you're ready for Eddie in recovery.
