Music reviews of Ten (Legacy Edition) (2CDs)
Music Review: New Versions Of One Of The Greatest CDs Ever
Rating: 5 Stars
I am not writing to convince you that the original CD of Ten from 1991 is one of the greatest of all time. The reviews for that version already speak to this fact such that I cannot contribute anything knew to the discussion. My goal is to help you decide if you should care about the Legacy Edition of Ten.
I am generally against it when artists do audio polishing of their previous work and essentially submit an upgrade for their fans to purchase. However, I am willing to make an exception for one of the greatest CDs ever released. Many of you already have the original CD, but you have probably noticed that the sound quality just isn't there when compared to other CDs that you buy today. Disc 1 of Ten Legacy Edition solves this problem. I found that the improvements easily discernable in comparing "Once" between the two versions.
Disc 2 is where things get a little more interesting. This is dubbed Ten Redux. I listened to the first 11 songs on Disc 2 just to get a rough feel for what the changes were. Then I transferred a playlist to my mp3 player that alternated between the two versions in order to do a more thorough comparison. None of the songs undergo a major transformation. You will easily recognize "Alive" as being "Alive". If I were to characterize the difference in sound between the two versions of Ten, I'd say that Redux is bigger, rawer, and crunchier. The changes are mostly noticeable in the guitars while the vocals have the least done to them. I thought that these were most apparent on "Why Go", "Black", and "Porch". Who is likely to find this interesting? If you are someone who appreciates subtle differences, then there's a good chance you'll like Redux. It will be similar to comparing different roasts of coffee, brands of the same wine varietal, or brands of the same style of beer. For example, I like to compare the characteristics between two different pale ales from different brewing companies. While they are both pale ales, they accent different characteristics. This is the kind of approach that you need for Ten (Legacy Edition) to be worthwhile.
I hate to even mention the additional tracks on Disc 2. These were all outtakes from the original Ten recording sessions. You've heard the two that are worthwhile on the Singles Soundtrack back in 1992 - "Breath and a Scream" (recorded then as "Breath") and "State of Love and Trust". "Brother" is not bad, but it is definitely a notch below anything that actually made the cut for the original Ten. Further, if it or the other remaining tracks were all that, they would have been released previously.
So, I think that Ten (Legacy Edition) is worth having, and I hope that I've given you something to help you decide if you agree.

Description of Ten (Legacy Edition) (2CDs)
Ten, the debut album that sold 12 million copies and introduced the world to Pearl Jam in 1991, will be reissued in four (4) new and expanded editions on March 24, 2009. The reissue of Ten serves as the launch of a planned two-year catalogue re-release campaign leading up to the band's 20th anniversary in 2011.Each Ten package will include two versions of the album: the remastered version of the original album PLUS an accompanying remixed version done by the band's long-time producer, Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen,AC/DC, Audioslave).
"The band loved the original mix of Ten, but were also interested in what it would sound like if I were to deconstruct and remix it," says producer Brendan O'Brien. "The original Ten sound is what millions of people bought, dug and loved, so I was initially hesitant to mess around with that.After years of persistent nudging from the band, I was able to wrap my head around the idea of offering it as a companion piece to the original - giving a fresh take on it,a more direct sound."
Legacy Edition (2 CD set):
Disc 1: original Ten tracklisting digitally remastered (original mix)
Disc 2: original Ten tracklisting digitally remastered and remixed by Brendan O'Brien, plus six bonus tracks:"Brother," "Just a Girl,", "State of Love and Trust," "Breath and a Scream," "2,000 Mile Blues" and "Evil Little Goat."
