Pearl Jam Even Flow ( Remix by producer Brendan O' Brien )

[functionform]

Brendan O' Brien kills bands and his sound sucks ass. I challenge you to find a band that became MORE famous after he started producing them. You won't. Pearl Jams sucked after this album, and this remix is depressing - especially because a few of you actually like it. The one exception in his career might be SuperUnknown which is uncharacteristic BOB, and I would argue succeeded in spite of his involvement. Still, SG died after he was involved with them.

LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT HAHAH and the photographs are amazing!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot mate.

[djkikis]

are the drums the same? they sound different... as in the playing..

[jetsonic69]

Actually I really like this version a lot better than the original because the original Even Flow was just that , it was too smooth and over produced. But the second best version isnt this one or from TEN, instead its Pearl Jams 1992 Alive cd single for Even Flow ( The Japanese import version ) sounds way better , plus its the same version as the music video for Even Flow. Brendan O Brien did his best to capture the raw sound of Pearl Jam demo days with this version . Either way, its all good

[wheelroof3]

sounds the same you guys all need to get a life seriously!

[Extremeanger148]

Freaking awesome!

[Extremeanger148]

Freaking awesome!

[ghkdtjdguq1]

sound amazing!!!! I like this one ^^

[esham2001]

Never buy a remaster. They butcher that shit.

[Conduit13C]

I agree with what somebody else said, this mix is strictly for your Ipod. Which I think is a okay idea. I mean, the older versions of PJ's stuff sounds good but kinda doesn't fit when you try to download it to your new hardware. But otherwise, good song, great memories....:)

[hugovejar]

uno esta demasiado acostumbrado al sonido viejo..al sonido original del TEN...so this is just anotther stuff...really.

[chuckawobbly]

When they remastered it, they ruined it.

[ultimateguitar553]

the remixes and the remastered version of the original 1991 mixes have had their Dynamic range destroyed.

If you don't believe me listen to the original album pressing and pay attention to how much quieter the overall volume is and the bigger punch in the drums.

[doodame]

Eddie I want to buy u lunch.....come  to SD

[LexxiLuthor]

This is my favorite band, dude(:

Eddie Vedder is practically a god-like musician!

<3333

[mihapj]

@LexxiLuthor

Completely agree! ;)

[AFirmKickInThePants]

I prefer the original sound of the album, this one almost feels like a demo tape. The guitars sound heavier just because they're louder and the voice is pushed far behind in the mix. The "overproduced" sound of the original version that some people seem to hate was more cohesive and smooth and fitted the songs better. I usually like raw sounding records, but Ten was kind of MEANT not to sound like this. Rawer isn't always better, as in this case.

[potsos]

@AFirmKickInThePants Couldn't disagree more. I think this sounds much better!

[mj12agent]

@AFirmKickInThePants I totally agree with you. I don't like Brendan O' Brien mixes becouse they often sound like you said - loud guitar, too much bass. I also noticed that albums he had worked on sound very compressed - best examples are Core by Stone Temple Pilots, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water by Limp Bizkit and especially Dogman by King's X. Generally when there's a lot of going on in the song (many loud instruments at one time), everything blends.

[HangmanNZ]

instantly sounds better! phatter, clearer, just plain BIGGER!

[shanko03]

santanic ball sucker class tune........

[crazyedd123]

i prefer this mix than the album version

the guitars are more pronounced, it's more clear, plus you can hear eddie asking for some spare change during the interlude (or breakdown)

[farrevalo]

Man... i also remember liustening to the heavy riffs, bad ass drum lines and powerfull ass lyrics! I miss the powerfull lyrics Eddie. I hear this album and just wanna rock out with my childhood friends all night long!

[grassroot3]

damnit i love 1992 like none other!! 7th grade baby when this album came out. I was playing soccer in Middle School 1st time I heard this song and had to buy it, then I joined Columbia House and became poor. CD's rock!

[ShiftyBmusic]

Holy shit I have loved this album since the day I was born in 1993 and now it's even better! Bravo!! Now if they can do this with nevermind...

[flamehotrod]

What exactly is the difference between the original Ten that came out in 1991 and the remastered version (i.e CD-1 from the legacy album) ?? Which one sounds better ? I tried to listen to sample songs on amazon, but could not figure out the difference.

I am interested in the original songs from Ten, I do not really care about any remixed versions (i.e CD-2 from the legacy edition). which one should I buy, the original Ten or the legacy edition?

[alxexperience]

Legacy mixes are a lot rawer than the original versions, as the remixes have less reverb and effects. The original recordings are legendary, and the remixes are really good. I own both versions of Ten, and I'd say get the legacy edition, since it comes with the original mixes AND the remixes. Hope that helped.

[ripeco]

It would be better if they had realeased a DVD-A of it with DTS or DD

[scaryred24]

My favorite radio station was going the play a leaked version of this before the cd was released, but their cd player broke and was forced to play the original version of "even flow".

[xXCatalystic37Xx]

lies

[scaryred24]

Maybe your not from the Boston area but I swear to god - I have no religion, but what the heck - my favorite station WAAF did do that screw up. End of discussion.

[OneGuitarDude]

The solo sounds a lot better as well.

[castreed]

LOL!! 1:45 xD

[Laurentvb92]

lol 4:06, every one is like, what the.. and Dave like, Nice tits :p

[moonkef]

Wow this is cool! They're selling the same shit to us again but I dont care! wooo hooo!

[MMAPorsche]

I'll probably end up buying like 12 copies of it to!!!

[sebastiano2012]

It sounds better, great.

[alxexperience]

Sounds way rawer than the original album, which is awesome. Some songs sound weird without the reverb and such (Black, Alive, etc) but overall the whole remix sounds awesome.

[bubba5292]

yea dude i totally agree, it brings out the best in pearl jam. The guitaring is alot rawer and shreds shit up.

[srvsgal]

This is awesome. Thanks

[mihapj]

no problem :)

It's all about spreading the Jam!

[obviouslypepsi]

I love this version of Ten. Sure, it's not that different, but the great thing here is that now these old school Pearl jam songs don't sound so out of place on my iPod, they finally sound fresh and tight, like they were recorded yesterday.

Sure, it's not so much for a die hard Pearl Jam listener, but it's great for newcomers getting into the grunge sound, and for audiophiles like myself.

Killer song too.

[brokinfan]

Really punchy, sounds awesome though. Compress the heck out of those frequencies and squash it like a modern FM radio station. I doubt he did much hands on work here, its like he just Pro Tooled most of it... Probably a 60 minute job. But...... I really like this!!!!

[unclenebber]

Wow, it sounds incrementally better.

Dial back that reverb, compress the guitar and vocals.

This whole thing is unnecessary.

[thequietkid10]

check out the end of Ten....it seems that O'Brien did some of the most obvious changes with Porch, Deep, and Garden, especially Porch.

But your still right, the first half of this album sounds a lot like the original.

[ROCKNINJA777]

pretty damn similar, but good nontheless

[DavySolaris]

whoa, great mix. sounds completely fresh all over again, fucking love it.

[dedvw]

Lovin the compressed/remixed versions. It's like listening to it for the first time.

[analogueorange]

what brendan o' brien did was risky. that's why he was hesitant on remixing the record because of how Ten was accepted. he did great on the remixes. brendan o

brien is one of my idol in music production.

[Mahavishnu80]

Better. shouldve taken delay of vocal tho.

[mihapj]

that's Mike McCready! :)

[Dannoneusk91]

This is awesome!!!

But who the fuck is that at 2:01 ?

[Herzog1012]

Mike.

[Dannoneusk91]

HAHAHAHAAAA!!!! He looks so different then!!! What period was that album wise??

[mihapj]

:))

I would say that around 93-94....so VS & Vitalogy!

[Herzog1012]

Yeah, I'd say around 94. Certainly around the time when he was most messed up, judging by the picture.

[mJ25Thriller]

What's the difference between Brendan O' Brien Remixes from the ORIGINAL??

Can you please tell me?

"ALIVE,ONCE,EVEN FLOW,BLACK,"

[jessejafrnd]

Way less "Old school reverb"(echoey sound) and way more clear.

[enemyofthesun]

i'll give you the idea for spaghetti if you let the women and children go!!! yes!

BEST SONG!!

[mihapj]

I think the sound is more ''raw''.

cant believe that E-Flo sound's so fresh!!! after all this years!! :) Amazing song & greatest band :)

[jimbob1969]

hard to compare from computer speakers but it does sound more "Live ?" .. guitar parts more clearly defined and drums more tight sounding... obviously they would have mastered the new mix with new gear too, sounds slightly compressed ( as is everything these days )... fresh .!!. can't wait to hear rest.
