Pearl Jam has a pretty damn strong discography as well.

Up and
Reveal are okay. They're not bad albums, considering they were still figuring themselves out after Bill Berry left. Considering the fact that
Up was the first album they made after his departure, it must have been a difficult one for them to record.
Up was okay, it's not one of my favourites by them though.
Reveal was a little better - I think they had sort of reorganized themselves as a band by then.
Around the Sun (2004) was panned by critics, and I have to agree. It's not my favourite album from them by any stretch. It had to be their lowest point musically speaking.
Accelerate (2008) was a big improvement, I quite liked it. It was an attempt by them to recover from the disaster that was
Around the Sun and I think they did a good job. I have yet to listen to their newest one,
Collapse Into Now entirely, but the couple of songs I have heard from it are pretty good. I think a few years down the road, those two albums will become an integral part of their already strong discography.
