At the time of its release, Ten entered a landscape where alternative rock was bubbling beneath the mainstream, ready to explode. Nirvana's Nevermind would drop just one month later, and Soundgarden and Alice in Chains were already making waves. But Ten stood out because of its emotional depth and social commentary.
Krusen said in a recent interview that he got connected to the band through a friend who knew Jeff Ament. He showed up to a basement jam session without an audition, and was blown away when Vedder showed up and started singing. He said, "I didn't even know there was a singer. When he started singing, I thought, 'Oh my God.' It was insane."
The track list reads like a greatest hits collection: "Alive," "Even Flow," "Jeremy," and "Black" all became staples of the band's live performances and rock radio. "Jeremy" in particular struck a cultural chord, inspired by a real-life tragedy and paired with a haunting music video that earned heavy MTV rotation. For many, it was the first glimpse into Pearl Jam's willingness to address difficult, often uncomfortable topics with raw honesty.
Pearl Jam Is Still Alive and Still Resonating
More than three decades later, Pearl Jam continues to tour and release new music, but Ten remains their cornerstone. It's the album that introduced the world to Eddie Vedder's voice and the band's undeniable chemistry and willingness to get honest, be gritty, and connect in a new way with fans.
