Nirvana's Nevermind may have been the album that broke grunge and alternative rock into the mainstream, but there's no underestimating the role that Pearl Jam's Ten played in keeping them there.Nirvana's appeal may have been huge, but it wasn't universal; rock radio still viewed them as too raw and punky, and some hard rock fans dismissed them as weird misfits. In retrospect, it's easy to see whyPearl Jam clicked with a mass audience -- they weren't as metallic as Alice in Chains or Soundgarden, and of Seattle's Big Four, their sound owed the greatest debt to classic rock. With its intricately arranged guitar textures and expansive harmonic vocabulary, Ten especially recalled Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. But those touchstones might not have been immediately apparent, since -- aside from Mike McCready's Clapton/Hendrix-style leads -- every trace of blues influence has been completely stripped from the band's sound. Though they rock hard, Pearl Jam is too anti-star to swagger, too self-aware to puncture the album's air of gravity. Pearl Jam tackles weighty topics -- abortion, homelessness, childhood traumas, gun violence, rigorous introspection -- with an earnest zeal unmatched since mid-'80s U2, whose anthemic sound they frequently strive for. Similarly, Eddie Vedder's impressionistic lyrics often make their greatest impact through the passionate commitment of his delivery rather than concrete meaning. His voice had a highly distinctive timbre that perfectly fit the album's warm, rich sound, and that's part of the key -- no matter how cathartic Ten's tersely titled songs got, they were never abrasive enough to affect the album's accessibility. Ten also benefited from a long gestation period, during which the band honed the material into this tightly focused form; the result is a flawlessly crafted hard rock masterpiece.

Cover Grading

NM near mint very clean with only extremely light signs of wear, perhaps a few small light creases, extremely light signs of handling / very little shelf wear, maybe very light signs of ring wear (no seam splits / no writing on the cover). Will be very close to New in appearance.
VG++ clean with perhaps some light ring wear, maybe a few small light torn areas, few light creases, very light ring wear. Will be close to Near Mint with maybe a very small seam split or small light writing in a spot.
VG+ may have some light creases, few lightly torn areas, some corner wear / light wear around the edges. Maybe some very light seam splitting / few light water stains but will still be in nice shape.
VG more wear around the edges / at the corners, some small creases, a few longer heavier creases, could have a couple of longer seam splits, maybe some light tearing, sticker residue / light sticker tears, maybe some writing + water staining...
VG- will have moderate corner / edge wear, some seam splitting, some creases, writing, torn areas, water staining, sticker residue / tearing, seam wear / splitting, etc. The entire cover will be in once full piece - still not trashed but not the best looking.

Vinyl Grading 
(Near Mint to NM+ / Mint-) "Like" new (NOT NEW) with only a few small light marks / extremely light scratches not affecting play. A nice clean surface free of groovewear & plays like new. 
(VG++) clean with very little groove wear and only some very light harmless marks / scuffs / very light surface scratches not affecting play. Plays close to like new. 
(VG+) clean with little wear. Will play with very strong fidelity. Some light surface marks / scuffs / light surface scratches with only a few light scratches being very lightly audible. Plays Very Good. 
(VG) may have some light groove wear with more marks / scuffs / scratches - some will be audible but none should over power the music. A decent play copy. 
(VG-) moderate groove wear, may have many scratches / scuffs, etc. Also may not have too many scratches but some will be deep enough to affect listening. Not the greatest copy but still playable.
