  • I've been listening to Pearl Jam ever since I was a kid, and now that I have money, I have come across this amazing album! 90's rock pisses all over music nowadays :D

  • Eddie said that he had a problem this song was too catchy......he's fuckin right.

    "Head at your feet, fool to your crown

    Fist on my plate, swallowed it down

    Enmity gaged, united by fear"

    I've been singing that part ALL. DAY. LONG.

  • 20 november Costa Rica fu ck yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • messi

  • starts off like 3rd world man by Rush -

  • @SupernalOne You mean the song New World Man off Rush's 1982 album Signals. Coming from big fan of Pearl Jam and Rush!

  • @westholmes2001

    yes, just so -

    I grew up with guitar rock, the Beatles were a start but it was acid rock that really made a sea change in pop culture, at least to me - Steppenwolf, Cream, Hendrix, QMS, Joplin, Iron Butterfly, Spirit - and I gotta tell ya, prog-rock was a lovely thing, especially with small bands -- how much bombast, complexity, atmosphere, social relevance, can be generated with a trio? And Rush demonstrated just how much - a long-time favorite, agreed (PJ great 2, 4 sure!)

  • This was always my favorite track off this album!

  • My favourite Pearl Jam song. Great lyrics, just about getting the fuck away from a bad situation.

  • ok this song rocks

  • VS. is one of these rare albums that every song in it is friggin awesome.

  • @Deanperr yes sir indeed

  • @Deanperr Just like Ten, every song is great

  • @Deanperr so is Ten. Just sayin

  • @CTshadows

    I intend to agree.

  • @Deanperr All of Pearl Jam's discography is like that.

  • @Deanperr fuggin aye! the best man

  • @Deanperr Absolutely. It's not often you can say that. This tune takes me back. Wicked days, WICKED!

  • @Deanperr This and Yield are the only 2 PJ albums that are like that, imo. PJ used to be so friggin awesome.

  • @vitaldissidence 'used to be'? Don't you mean 'is'?

  • @Lijpekees360 With the exception of a few songs, the last 2 albums of theirs have been crap. Let's be honest.

  • Yeah...just like their album before -- Ten is another that fits the bill.

    Great F%#$@n song!

  • @Deanperr yeah well every album of pearl jam was freaking awesome. loved ten. loved this one.

  • not every album u generalising jerk,wot, do u and ur boyfriend(s) sit around a gay fire listen to gay yield,u vitalogy loving stain on joleon lescotts head.u make me sick pushing ur opinions on the others and me GET A GRIP DEAN !

  • @stiggdogg13 Good job, there. You told him. He might've cared if you'd bothered to reply directly to his comment.

  • Great !! New, classic rock.

  • Great !! New, classic rock.

  • i gather speed from you fucking with me - once and for all i'm far away - i hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...saw things so much clearer once you, once you...rearviewmirror...saw things so much clearer once you, once you...

    rearviewmirror...

  • the animal on the cover looks like your mom

  • @meelie1000 no, the animal is prettier. 

  • Does anybody else hear the same resemblance to Rush's "New World Man"?

  • never realized that this song was so messed up for Eddie, I did the whole "make up your own lyrics" thing

  • Still looking in your Rear View??? Guess so like me, awesome jam!!!  Totally Classic Grunge lol!!

  • Totally remember this song. I'm happy to hear it once again from here.

  • guess it was the beatings that make me wise. but i'm not about to give thanks or apologize.

  • @dropdaleash oh. my. god. You sucessfully posted the same thing that Eddie sings. That is soooo impressive. Want a medal?

  • what if we all had a wingman

  • love this song,:))

  • This is the rearviewmirror of my youth. It makes me saw things so much clearer!

  • fave *

  • one of the most important albums of my teens ! This and indifference are my face tracks but the album on a whole is a belter !!!

  • Excellence.

    

  • saw things so much clearer...

  • because of that video on youtube i keep associating this song with messi

  • You hear the click clank at the end lol thats Dave throwing the Drum Sticks at the wall because he got pissed off at how many times they had to play it lol

  • music changes and progresses all the time, no band has ever stayed the same throughout, if so i havent heard of them

  • i think this is their best album

  • I don't get it why people keep complaining about how they changed, and whatever

    The world changed, and it's still changing, so yeah, they changed with it, it's the natural course, everyone change, so stop crying and enjoy their songs, because they're still Pearl Jam!

  • head at your feet, fool to your crown

    fist on my plate, swallowed it down

    Fucking A

  • anyone dislikes is a dick

  • This is a great, great fucking song. Really though, just to address the people who say "they lost it after "x" album", any music group or composer has a contemporary clock. Few bands stick around for long periods of time....even bands like the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd petered out because their core was from a specific era and could grow no more. Pearl Jam is one of the standards of the grunge era and lasted beyond it because of their talent. Appreciate what they are, not just what they were

  • 15 people are idiots!!!!

  • Pearl jam never sounded this great again , Vitalogy is a good album IMO , but good without Pry to and Bugs...As soon as they sacked Abbruzzese they basically shot themselfs in the foot cos every album since Vitalogy has been not upto the standard of the first 3 albums..

  • @needley Very true,, I just did't know someone got sacked!! Vitalogy was my fave of theirs,, so who did they sack?

  • SLURPEEEES!SLURPEEEES! SLURPEEEES!

  • Soy Beans-sow much cleaner!

  • For all the relationship abuse survivors in the world.

  • I gather speed from you F&%$King with me......

  • lol the drummer lost his shit over THIS?! he must have really sucked...

  • @Passitivity

    He 'lost his shit' because they made him do it over, and over, and over, to perfect it. And at the end on this last take, he threw his sticks because he knew he'd nailed it, and they decided to leave it in.

  • I RAPED THE REPLAY BUTTON

  • Comment removed

  • @Doudum I know! Simply when it stops, you feel like somethin's missin... then u ust have to listen to it again! :P

  • piss poor arrangement, but lovely nonetheless

  • This song comes damn close to perfection.

  • @fadeddream44 it WAS perfect

  • 13 people have got no idea

  • Soooaaaapppp beeeeeaaaaaannssss!!!!!

    Soooaaaapppp beeeeeaaaaaannssss!!!!!

    Cleaver!!! Cleaver!!!!!!

    wants you!!! wants you!!!!!

    rearviewmirror!!! (at least I got that right when I heard the song for the first time)

    EDDIE VEDDER ROCKS!!!!!

  • Man i just wish music was like this these days, it dosen't get any better than this. This is true talent...their songs set the standard for good music.

  • enmity gaged,

    i cannot forget either

    i wanna get beat to forget but i can see

  • Agreed Vs was awesome and just the best album!!!

  • this song always gives me goose bumps, and makes me feel the hairs rise at the back of my neck. its just that intense.

  • I heard one hundred othe shitty bands the guitar riff from the beginning of this, and it upsets me that they are so uncreative that they steal a piece of true rock art. Pearl Jam is one of my favorite rock bands of all time.

  • 130mph on I-95 TO I-4 thats how i remember this track!

  • @lamentate07 and @mafoota I would definitely recommend listening to "Backspacer" PJ's 2009 release. I have always been a fan and like you lost interest in their in between work. But "Backspacer" really has something to offer.

  • Awesome track.

  • Versus. Amazing album!

  • Anyone that was into rock in the early to mid 90's should remember how vital this album felt at the time. It's a great record, one of the few that has stood up from that era imo.

    haven't cared about Pearl Jam since though i must admit.

  • @lamentate07 A few good tracks on Vitalogy but yeah, they definitely peaked early.

  • @mafoota definitely. Pearl Jam were one of the most imitated bands from the so called 'grunge' era too, and this album has especially been influential. it's just a shame that barely anybody did anything constructive with a P.J influence. certainly not bloody Creed! ;-)

  • @MrFikret94 yh for a matter of fact, the number of the beast is actually 616, so urm catch up

  • @Matt9163 It's the fax number of the beast!

  • @MegaWayneD What?

  • @Matt9163 666 = the number of the beast.

    616 = fax number of the beast. Everyone knows that.

  • magic

  • This song NEVER fails to pump me up. THis and State of Love and Trust are my absolute favorite Pearl Jam songs.

  • man..i can remember being 11 when i first heard this album!!!brings back a lot of memories!

  • It's REAL

  • i luv the buildup and the unleashing of the anger at 2:44 - the metaphor is awesome

  • "I took a drive today. Time to emancipate."

    Great song to listen to on a drive when you need to let off some steam... 

  • (From Wikipedia) "At the end of the studio cut drummer Dave Abbruzzese can be heard throwing his drum sticks against the wall in frustration. This was in response to the pressure that was placed on him by producer Brendan O'Brien during the recording of the track. After recording the track he punched a hole through the snare drum and threw it off the side of a cliff." Gotta <3 Pearl Jam

  • "Forced to endure what i can not forgive..."

  • I really got into this album my junior year of high school.... instant nostalgia. What meaningful lyrics.

  • brillant piece of art

  • These lyrics are so powerful. I wonder whether they stem from Vedder's personal experience?

  • @Slikrik1212 go fuck yourself with a machete

  • @HalfEatenDimSim That would be hot....

  • pearl jam at thier best...they really do suck now...anything past yield is shit...

  • @needley Wait, I'm confused, Yield was good?

  • @JeffreyOsb Yeah it was..Got some really great songs.....Compared to the last 3 albums it's like the white album..Last 3 efforts have been pretty crap...binaural is ok tho..but the 3 after that are pretty poor...Vs & Vitalogy are my favorites tho..

  • @JeffreyOsb no

  • Soy beans.. soy beans :-) One of my top ten songs ever.

  • I think this song or rather this piece of art is what all modern rock is based on(although in my opinion never done as good as this), It is for lack of a better work.. Pefect, the melodies, vocals and raw passion. This will always be one of my most loved tracks of all time. It's a very moving track for me. Thank you pearl jam.

  • @PolaroidMemory

    hear fuckin hear!

  • @PolaroidMemory I don't know, I never saw this as a huge standout Pearl Jam song. I like so many more of them so much better. To each his/her own though. It's still a quality song, don't get me wrong, but when we're talking about Pearl Jam, you know! ;)

  • @PolaroidMemory I agree, while I probably don't get the art side of it as much as you do. It touches me in the same way. I grew up with this album in junior high and I was obsessed with this track. It's got such a great up and down flow.

  • who dislikes this? did someone type in the name of this song just to push that button or something? i dont get it..bunch of losers

  • Me and my girlies always listened to this before we went out to our local rock club, beautiful times <3

  • if you want to hit the dislike button,please check your rearview mirror....

  • I FOUND IT! I HAD IT STUCK ON MY HEAD FOR A LONG TIME, DIDN'T REMEMBER THE BAND, THE NAME, THE ALBUM NOT THE LYRICS, AND HERE IT IS, REAR VIEW MIRROR FROM PEARL JAM

    Awesome song

  • REEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRVIEWMIRRRROO­OOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR

  • whats the song about anyone know? Im gonna look up the lyrics but i think i already can hear the lyrics but not sure what the song is about. maybe about an abusive father?

  • @Simon0 well, a abusive authority not sure......well not his real father maybe his step father(i beleive he had one)

  • @Simon0

    This is my favorite song. It is about an abusive world... In my view. I see my acceptance of it... in my rearviewmirror.

    Look up MFC and Porch for other Pearl Jam songs of similar vein.

  • Such a powerful song! One of my fav's of PJ! Definitely meant a lot to me back then and even now!

  • i love this song with a passion

  • Diamond of a song, with nothing but clarity and strength.

  • This song will motivate you to find direction in your life and re-evaluate what is truly important to you.

  • yeah baby!

  • Boa pra caralho essa essa musica....

  • Fantastic song!

  • @DanFrederiksen not really. has a proper melody and harmonies.

  • gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooood

  • mnam,mnam....

  • Takes me back. Wish I could go back

  • Saw things! saw things! CLEARER!!! CLEARER!!! ONCE YOU IN MY... REARVIEWMIRROOOOR!!!!!!
