Pearl Jam didn’t just dodge the sophomore slump—they blew up the blueprint. But by No Code, they weren’t chasing hits—they were chasing meaning. The cover? A cryptic collage of Polaroids: teeth, fire, x-rays, Dennis Rodman’s eye, a stingray injury, and whatever else they had lying around. No title. No band name. No code. Just questions. The design dares you to find your own way in—much like the music inside dares you to find your own way out. Moody, fragmented, brilliant. Crack it open with us.
