</small>Like me, the average joe will own less than one PJ cd. But (s)he might be interested in their output and fancy a sampler.
I've downloaded very few mp3s and rarely burn anything from my own collection: I actually like owning CDs and all the packaging that goes with them....
.... so, I might just buy this and PJ get some royalties from a brand new source.

I agree, this is pointless to a pearl jam fan, but will prob pick it up, since I have all their cds, and a ton of boots.. It makes sense to most casual fans though, because most of them believe there hasn't been a good song since ten, except for the played out hits like Given to Fly, BetterMan, NothingMan etc.
I'm far from excited from this release, but more pearljam is always good, now the pearl jam show I'm seeing tommorow in Boston, that's a bit better

Those of us that remember PJ 'back in the day' would have bet our last dollar that PJ would never put out a 'Greatest Hits' cd.
Sadly, we would have lost that dollar.

Look at it this way, this is one more album toward PJ fulfilling its record contract. (Isn't it their last one?)

From this point on, PJ will probably not sign with another label and just release albums and live shows themselves, so they have greater control over their recordings.

After seeing band after band release Greatest Hits CDs, I always thought to myself, "Pearl Jam will never do that..." But, I'm sure it's a case of Sony wanting to release it and them cooperating, for the fans' sake, as was suggested. Pearl Jam doesn't seem like the kind of band whose Greatest Hits CD will sell big. Although, priced fairly cheap its first week, it just might. Most fans will either buy it to have in their collection (yes, Mr. Chicken, that includes me) or won't buy it cuz they own every song on the set. I own every song and I'm still buying.
Where is "Man Of The Hour" though?
BTW, I make comps of bands I like and Pearl Jam has a Vol. 1 (with a Vol. 2 on the way). Here's the tracklist for Vol. 1, just as a comparison:
1. rearviewmirror
2. MFC
3. Corduroy
4. Hail Hail
5. I Got Id
6. Insignificance
7. Brain Of J.
8. Habit
9. Tremor Christ
10. Gods' Dice
11. Pilate
12. Mankind
13. Porch
14. Whipping
15. Grievance
16. Lukin
17. Daughter
18. Better Man
19. Light Years
20. Given To Fly
21. U
22. Last Exit
Obviously there's always a difference between a Greatest Hits comp and a Best-of comp. Bear in mind, this compilation was made before Riot Act came out (hence the exclusion of Save You, Love Boat Captain, etc. and Man Of The Hour). It's also fitting this collection is called rearviewmirror. It's my favorite Pearl Jam song... and I still haven't seen them play it live, after seeing them like... uh, 4 times, was it, Mr. Chicken?

I don't own any Pearl Jam albums (I did have Vitalogy on cassette but lost it a long time ago) and I'll buy this. I do like what I've heard from them and this will be a good range of their work. Maybe if I really like it I'll look at getting some their albums.

Oh well. My PJ Essentials Vol. 2 will definitely include it.

Pearl Jam Caps Epic Tenure With Hits Set
Pearl Jam will cap its tenure on Epic next month with its first hits collection. Due Nov. 16 via Epic, the double-disc, 33-track "rearviewmirror (greatest hits 1991-2003)" sports 16 top 10 hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, including the No. 1s "Daughter," "Betterman" and "Given To Fly," as well as 13 top 10 entries on the Modern Rock Tracks survey.
In lieu of new songs, "rearviewmirror" (the discs for which are split into an "Upside" and "Downside") boasts remixes of three songs from the Seattle rock act's seminal 1991 debut, "Ten." Longtime producer Brendan O'Brien was behind the boards for new mixes of "Once," "Alive" and "Black."
Beyond such staples as "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town," "Dissident," "Wishlist" and "Even Flow," the album includes a cover of Victoria Williams' "Crazy Mary" (first issued on the 1993 "Sweet Relief" compilation), the live favorite "Yellow Ledbetter" (which reached seven Billboard charts in the mid-'90s despite never being promoted to radio) and "Man of the Hour," penned for the 2003 Tim Burton film "Big Fish."
Also featured is "Last Kiss," a 1950s cover released on a 1999 charity single that improbably became the band's biggest hit, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The lone Pearl Jam track that appeared on the Hot 100 but is missing from the album is "Tremor Christ," which peaked at No. 18 in the fall of 1995.
Pearl Jam recently wrapped its run on the Vote for Change tour and is expected to hit the studio next month to begin work on its eighth album.
**********************
I removed the tracklisting, but it does show "Man of the Hour" is now included, as well as moving "Yellow Ledbetter" to the end of Disc 2.
Perhaps Ten will be getting a full remix if they've gone back and remixed three of the songs.

Glad to see "Man Of The Hour" on there though. Love that tune.
I might wait till this comes out before I do my own vol. 2 PJ comp, to give a listen to those remixes. Probably not though, as it's been on the backburner for quite some time now.

Usually the label is behind greatest hits releases, for obvious reasons.
