Regarding the recording sessions, drummer Jack Irons said, "We didn't put any time limit on it. Gossard commented that there was more "contouring" and "honing" of demo material than on previous records. The band spent a large amount of time rehearsing the songs to get the best takes possible.
Vedder said that the band was able to "team up" and have a "partnership" while the album was being recorded. Guitarist Mike McCready noticed a change in Vedder's attitude during the recording of Yield, stating, "I used to be afraid of him and not want to confront him on things. Ament also said that Vedder's reaction to the rest of the band's new material kept "everybody energized about their place in the band." Vedder worked with the other band members on their own material before work was started on his. Ament said that "everybody took that to heart," and O'Brien added that most of the songs came to the studio finished.
PEARL JAM ALBUMS WITH SONG LISTS CODE
Lead vocalist Eddie Vedder had made the final decisions for Vitalogy and No Code however, at the end of the No Code recording sessions, Vedder suggested to bassist Jeff Ament that it would be better for the other members to write and bring in more complete songs so Vedder would be under less pressure to finish the songs. Ĭompared with Vitalogy and No Code, Yield represented more of a team effort among all members of the group. The album would be the last collaboration with O'Brien for several years, until he was brought on board in 2008 to remix the band's debut album Ten and produce 2009's Backspacer. The album was then mixed by O'Brien at his mixing facility at Southern Tracks in Atlanta, Georgia. Yield was recorded throughout 1997 in Seattle, Washington at Studio X and Studio Litho, the latter of which is owned by guitarist Stone Gossard. He was replaced with Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron.įor its fifth album, Pearl Jam again worked with producer Brendan O'Brien, whom the band had worked with on its previous three records. The album is Pearl Jam's last release with drummer Jack Irons, who left the band during the album's promotional tour.
The record has been certified platinum by the RIAA in the United States. The band did more promotion for the album compared to No Code, including a return to full-scale touring and the release of a music video for the song " Do the Evolution". While like No Code, the album soon began dropping down the charts, Yield eventually outsold its predecessor. Yield received positive reviews and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. The album was hailed as a return to the band's early, straightforward rock sound, and marked a more collaborative effort from the band as opposed to relying heavily on frontman Eddie Vedder to compose the song lyrics. Following a short promotional tour for its previous album, No Code (1996), Pearl Jam recorded Yield throughout 1997 at Studio Litho and Studio X in Seattle, Washington. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times.Yield is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on February 3, 1998. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. “Making this record was a long journey,” McCready said in a statement upon announcing the LP. Brendan O’Brien has produced most of their records, including Lightning Bolt and 2009’s Backspacer. Gigaton marks the band’s first co-production with Josh Evans, who previously worked with Soundgarden, Chris Cornell and Pearl Jam members Mike McCready and Jeff Ament. The quintet announced the project in mid-January following an online scavenger hunt built around Paul Nicklen’s vivid cover photo, “Ice Waterfall,” which shows meltwater surging from the Nordaustlandet ice cap. The long-awaited 12-track LP, which follows 2013’s Lightning Bolt, features upcoming single “Dance of the Clairvoyants.” Notably, it does not include their most recent song, 2018’s “Can’t Deny Me,” released as part of their Ten Club fan club. Pearl Jam revealed the tracklist for their upcoming 11th studio album, Gigaton.
