I kinda feel that No Code was the last time the band really experimented with its sound. And really, after (for me) the experimental misses of Vitalogy, stands as their one truly successfully challenging album. It’s beautiful, dusty and at times feels unsure of itself; a quality that lends itself to the rough aesthetic that I feel the band were going for with this release.
I know that my thoughts on Vitalogy will be unpopular here, given that it’s considered a classic amongst fans. But for me, No Code was the band at its peak, on all fronts.
