No Code Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. “No Code” is the fourth studio album by Pearl Jam, originally released on August 27, 1996. Following a troubled tour for its previous album, “Vitalogy” (1994), during which Pearl Jam engaged in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster, the band went into the studio to record its follow-up. The music on the record was more diverse than what the band had done on previous releases, incorporating elements of garage rock and worldbeat.
