Pearl Jam – Ten Vinyl

Released in 1991, Ten is the debut studio album by the American rock band Pearl Jam.

This album plays a quintessential part in the ’90s grunge scene and its history. Littered with intricately arranged guitar textures, an expansive harmonic vocabulary, lead vocalist Eddie Vedder’s highly distinctive timbre, and passionate commitment to his delivery, Ten played a massive role in the rise and dominance of alternative rock.

Vedder’s lyrics for Ten deal with subjects like depression, suicide, loneliness, and murder. The album also tackles social concerns such as homelessness and the use of psychiatric hospitals. As well as historical events such as the suicide of Jeremy Wade Delle in 1991.
