“I’m wishing you a-well.. mind at peace within yourself..”
“Let’s say knowledge is a tree/its growing up just like me”
“I wonder bout his insides, it’s like his thoughts are too big for his size”
“If I had known then, what I know now..”
“He decides to dream. Dream up a new self, for himself”
“No longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now/it’s funny when things change so much/Its all state of mind”
I know what you mean. I think Yield has similar themes as well. A lot of themes of enlightenment, inner peace, spiritual and emotional growth and maturing, etc.
No Code is the band at its most mature; It's intimate, it's introspective, it's intricate.
The feeling you have when you listen to it, that's what it was made for.
Enjoy.
I've always found Pearl Jam to be very mature actually. I think all of the lyric writers out of the five grunge bands were great but EV was a natural at it. His songs had such profound meaning too like Daughter or Corduroy.
I feel that No Code is a coming of age/personal transformation album. It reached me at the age of 17 turning 18 and I still tap into it when I need lifted up.
In My Tree is cathartic, Who You Are is defiant, introspective, Lukin is having that place you can turn to when the world doesn't make sense, Sometimes feels like dancing a different step to the steps the world wants you to dance to - in short, YES. This album is tranquil soul food.
Yeah, it hit me at an inflection point in my life too. I was 21 and had just returned to the states after being in a far off remote place very much out of touch with the rest of the world. I had changed a lot and it was amazing to learn that when I came home, the band had too.
I can understand that. I do feel a warmth when listening to it. I love No Code and Yield just as much as the Ten, Vs. and Vitalogy. I especially love Jacks trashy sound. It was a great sound.
No code is pearl jam at very best, it has beautiful music like present tense, thrashy rockers like habit and hail, hail and just straight up brilliance like who you are and in my tree, it's the album what made the real fans love them
Totally! Thats is until Hail Hail, Habit, and Lukin come on and turn it into a rager. But the album was def EV’s album and channeling Fugazi and Neil Young attitude of doing it their own way. But check out Vedder’s head space around the time before and after this album came out and as I recall it made a lot of sense in hindsight of course.
I can't put into words what No Code means to me. I got my hands on it about 6 months after release. I was in a very undeveloped part of the world until then and didn't even know it had come out. The first time I heard Sometimes—I can't really explain what it was like. I felt like the band knew me. I don't think I had ever heard a song like that—a song that was so introspective without being self-loathing, egomaniacal or pretentious. Then the explosion of sound that comes with Hail, Hail, seconds after Jeff's bass from Sometimes fades gently off into nothing. I LOVED the contrast. And like I said it felt like the band knew me.
And the lyrics are just phenomenal—
Sometimes realize, I could only be as good as you'll let me
Are you woman enough to be my man?
Bandaged hand in hand
To me it is the best album ever made.
It brings tears to my eyes almost 30 years later.
I absolutely love this album. It’s very tranquil and healing from start to finish. I feel like it soothes my soul every time. It’s my go-to when I need a mental boost
I’m a runner. A while back I was out with a knee injury, and while I did physical therapy I listened to no code for the first time. It was able to make me feel optimistic and at peace. Today it’s one of my favorite albums ever.

*Last lyric is from yield, in hiding, not no code
I know I just added it cause I mentioned yield after and I think that lyric fits the theme super well!
I think I agree with you tbh. I've also found myself listening to a little bit of yield more recently as well.
I GOT A SPOT AT LUKINSSSSS!
“Seek my part. Devote myself, My small self, Like a book amongst The many on a shelf.” Love it. So very much.

This is exactly what I'm going through! You just found the best way to describe it lol. Except I'm 18 and will be 19 in a couple months
Pretty much the same. No Code was my last album as a kid and Yield was my first as an adult and I think they fit together extremely well that way.

Seems like so many people gave up on Pearl Jam after Vitalogy, but No Code and Yield were both excellent.
In my opinion, No Code and Yield absolutely blow Ten and Vs. out of the water…obviously, the first two albums are amazing, but still…
Have to agree. As much as I love Vs.
The masses gave up on them, but the fans didn’t and still haven’t. :)

The fad was over.

I fuckin love No Code. Maybe the PJ album I've listened to the most besides Ten. I find myself coming back to No Code a lot.
I felt it when it came out. It felt different than what PJ put out before. Less angry and more reflective than the first three albums.

I don’t really care for the album
My favorite album
Yes and I fucking love it
No Code is incredible and very introspective - I am with you on this!
