Q (3/92, p.79) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...a raucous modern rock, spiked with infectious guitar motifs and powered with driving bass and drums...may well be the face of the 90's metal..."
Village Voice (3/2/93, p.5) - Ranked #34 in the Village Voice's list of the 40 Best Albums Of 1992.
Stereo Review (1/92, p.80) - Performance "Challenging" / Recording "Good" - "...the band sounds larger than life, producing a towering inferno of roaring guitars, monumental bass and drums, and from-the-gut vocals...the tunes here surge, ebb, and surge again..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.51) - "[T]hese songs are as touching today as the day they came out..."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "With its nod to classic '70s rock in the shotgun guitars and engaging Vedder's ragged, back-to-the-wall fury dissecting a fractured family life anthem like 'Alive' and 'Jeremy' sound as relevant and impassioned today as they did on the original release."
Q (Magazine) (p.123) - "The hit singles 'Jeremy' and 'Alive' wove serious lyrical subject matter to flurrying guitar solos and singer Eddie Vedder's hectoring vocals..."
Q (Magazine) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[With] classic songwriting that wasn't afraid to wear its influences on its sleeve....The freewheeling guitars of 'Even Flow' and 'Jeremy' sounded vintage even then, so it's no surprise that they've held up so well after all these years."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "TEN is a classic of the grunge era, its super-sized anthems and introspective mood pieces powerfully voiced by Eddie Vedder..."
Blender (Magazine) (p.64) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "It's an exhilarating punk howl....It's a batch of outsider's tales coursing with beefy swagger..."
Uncut (magazine) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "It sounds great...from the inflammatory guitar intro to the momentous 'Once' to the final handsome drift of 'Release,' it's a resplendent thing."

Very good.
This is a great album... One of what at least I consider to be the "big four" of grunge:
"Nevermind" by Nirvana
"Ten" by Pearl Jam
"Dirt" by Alice In Chains
"Badmotorfinger" by Soundgarden
In that order. I like Nirvana better, but Pearl Jam and Nirvana are so different it's almost ignorant to seriously compare them. My favorite songs on "Ten" are "Black" and "Jeremy", but the whole album is worth many listens. Get it and see, also I just put in my order for "Vs."!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Pearl Jam officially owns Nirvana and Alice In Chains!!
During the grundge scene, like everyone has previously said, this album definitely owns Alice In Chains and Nirvana. Don't get me wrong, but Nirvana is great. Nevermind was good as in 4/5, but this one is even better. This is my favourite album ever made. This band made the best music video ever (Jeremy,) and the best song ever (Alive.) It's so poetic and the guitaring is great. Way better than Nirvana. This is the best album ever. If I could give an album 10 out of 10, it would be this.
