Vs. Reviews:
Best album ever 
2008-06-20 - If you liked Ten but thought it could be a bit heavier you'll love this. This is the strongest album by them, the only this closer is the latest self titled album. It starts strong with 'go' and even in the middle of the album when they start to experiment with 'w.m.a' you're still totally sucked in. A lot of rock albums tend to have song after song that sounds the same but each song here has it's own feel, no two are similar at all. This album also has perhaps their best song ever 'rearviewmirror', raw emotion and loud guitars dominate this album and anyone who wants to know what the 90's grunge was all about has to check out this.
The downhill decent of pearl jam 
2008-04-04 - Is this the same band that made TEN WTF?!?!?! These songs are uninspired and lame, are they out of gas already!?!?
Another one of Pearl Jam's best
2008-03-05 - It's an understatement to say that Pearl Jam was one of the best grunge bands of all time. However, Vs. was the album in which Pearl Jam really turned grunge into a pop culture craze of the 90s.
Stone Gossard shows off some of his best work on this album, playing another excellent famous electric solo on the song "Daughter". Pearl Jam also started to use acoustic guitars, but rather than reflecting hollow, shrill anger as Nirvana did, Pearl Jam almost made grunge sound like Creedence Clearwater Revival with their bright chords.
Probably the most interesting departures include "W.M.A.", which has the catchiest tribal drum rhythm I've ever heard in a grunge song. The album also takes the time to explode into a Funkadelic funk guitar in the loud jam "Blood". Even though it doesn't seem like all these genres don't fit together at all, it sounds amazingly epic with Eddie Vedder screaming at the mic and awesome guitars and drums all around. The only time it seems that the instruments don't fit together is during the awkward Jimi Hendrix riffs in "Rats" that don't sound nearly as cool as they should.
This is one of the best Pearl Jam albums, far better than their fourth album, "No Code." The instruments all complement each other surprisingly well--proving that they were one of the coolest loud bands ever at this time.
Rockin music for the car
2007-09-05 - This is my favorite Pearl Jam album, because I like every song on it. I love to rock out to this CD while I'm driving!
Glorified version 
2007-08-15 - This release isn't on par with "ten" to me, but it still ranks pretty high. It's hard-hitting rock with equally impacting lyrics. "Vs" marked the end of my tight squeeze on Pearl Jam, and as such, for me is the last of their real rock sound.
