TO MR VANSANDERSOOTH, "OKAY" IS AN UNDER STATEMENT; THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM OF THE 90'S, AND IT'S SPELLED "PINNACLE". AND FOR THE COLOUR RED, "WE'RE ALL CRAZY, CRAZY AT WAR!!!" STILL HOLDS TRUE ALMOST 10 YEARS LATER!
This album is extremely underrated. Songs like Brain of J, In Hiding, MFC and Given to Fly were given little radio play, but they rock and are among PJ's finest recordings. The mid-tempo and slower songs like All Those Yesterdays, Low Light and Faithful are also so damn good. Ten and Vs. are obviously tough to top, but I listen to this album of their's more than any other. It's deeper, richer and more rewarding.
To all of those who say Ten was the best PJ ever put out they need to listen alittle closer to Yield. I feel that one day it will be held up against all their other (Great) albums the same way that Sgt. Pepper was for the Beatles and Darkside of the Moon or The Wall was for Pink Floyd.
PERHAPS THE GREATEST PJ ALBUM RECORDED TO DATE. TECHNICAL, YET SUBTLE, WITH CONTRIBUTION S MADE FROM ALL MEMBERS OF THE BAND FOCUSING ON EVERY TOPIC FROM DEPENDENCY (IN HIDING), SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE (GIVEN TO FLY, PILATE) AND EVEN A JADED POINT OF VIEW FROM THE OUTSIDER ON OUR PROGRESS AS HUMANS (DO THE EVOLUTION). ALL IN ALL, A GREAT LISTEN FOR THOSE LAZY, THOUGHT PROVOKING AUTUMN DAYS. A TRUE FAN FAVORITE! -dieboyandy
