The first critical and comprehensive overview of Pearl Jam from 1990 to the present.

Recenzje

Ronen Givony's Not for You does what Givony would like Pearl Jam to do: it rises above its immediate purpose. It is a critical annotation to a body of work which lifts off the ground and becomes an extravagant performance about time, rebellion, fame, disenchantment, civil discourse, the idea of the mainstream, the desire of a fan, and what a band can do to answer it. Ben Ratliff, author of Every Song Ever
