'''Yield''' is Pearl Jam's fifth album, released on February 3, 1998. As of 2007, ''Yield'' has been certified platinum in the United States.
Pearl Jam again worked with producer Brendan O'Brien. Some observers suggest that members of the band had become frustrated with Vedder's control of the creation process and that this album was a true collaboration between all members of the group. The music documentary, ''Single Video Theory'', details the making of the album.
Overall, ''Yield'' resembles the straight-ahead rock approach of the band's early work. The album was inspired by Daniel Quinn's novel ''Ishmael'', Mikhail Bulgakov's novel ''The Master and Margarita'',[1] and the writings of Charles Bukowski,[2] amongst others. The album title is rooted in the idea of "yielding to nature", a theme central to Daniel Quinn's novel ''Ishmael''. Guitarist Stone Gossard penned the lyrics for the songs "No Way" and "All Those Yesterdays", and bassist Jeff Ament, making his first lyrical contributions to a Pearl Jam album, penned the lyrics for the songs "Pilate" and "Low Light".
The front cover art image was taken from a photograph of a road outside Billings, Montana.[3] The photograph was doctored to form a 360° panorama, as in reality there is a curve in the road.[4] The cover of the cassette version has slightly different artwork, moving the Yield sign from the right of the road to the left side and reversing the picture of the road. Regarding the liner notes art, there is a yield sign hidden in every picture in the booklet.[5] In 1999, the album received a Grammy nomination for Best Record Packaging.[6]
The album was proclaimed as a return to the band's early, straightforward rock sound. ''Yield'' sold 358,000 copies during its first week of release and became Pearl Jam's first album not to peak at #1 in the ''Billboard'' charts since ''Ten'' in 1991. However, the album did go platinum in the US,[7] and eventually outsold its predecessor ''No Code'', selling 1,500,000 copies.
''Yield'' included the singles "Given to Fly" and "Wishlist". "Given to Fly" reached #3 on the ''Billboard'' Modern Rock chart and spent a total of six weeks at #1 on the ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock chart. The band hired famed comic book artist Todd McFarlane to create an animated video for the song "Do the Evolution" from the album. It was their first music video since 1992. In 1999, the song "Do the Evolution" was nominated the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance and its music video was nominated the Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form.[8]
