← Pearl Jam deep dive

If you love OK Computer, start Pearl Jam with No Code (1996)

No Code is Pearl Jam's most exploratory record — Middle Eastern modalities on "Who You Are," lo-fi experiments on "Sometimes," genuine weirdness throughout. Fans who were disappointed by it in 1996 rediscovered it as their favorite once they opened to Radiohead. The first three tracks — Sometimes / Hail Hail / Who You Are — are the bridge.
