 Besides a few B-sides I can put the rest a-side Sep 19, 2007
A loyal and sweetly put together rarities double disc from Pearl Jam is an undeniable must in any fans collection simply for the handful of amazing tracks which sometimes even go further then their best (ten-era) material ever has. Tracks that any fan already probably heard from singles (Alone, Yellow Ledbetter) remain some of their strongest rock, capturing the underutilized McCready at his fiery best before the post-Vs, Vedder-induced subduing kicked in. For fans Lost Dogs undoubtedly scores big, and even first time listeners will enjoy a minority of The Jam in it's essence, but the majority remains fans-only turf. As a single disc the material definitely would have avoided the typical B-sides stench which plagues many artists, but as a double even Pearl Jam's impressive vaults yield some unspectacular riffs and slightly silly outings. The first disc has a higher ratio of these genre-stinkers, but as Ledbetter fades out and the superior disc two kicks in we are once again reminded of why there are many treats amongst the tricks.

 Surprisingly good collection of previously uncollected.... Aug 23, 2007
With few exceptions, this collection of previously uncollected Pearl Jam tracks is remarkably good. My biggest surprise is why some of the better tracks were relegated to b-side status to begin with.
If you are a Pearl Jam fan, you owe it to yourself to obtain this album for your library. It is not a bunch of low grade throwaways and the price I paid Amazon was very good for a two disc set. The band has included track by track annotations.

 PJ's Best since Yield May 11, 2007
This is great to listen to. Love the collection of raritys and career spaning oddballs. If your a PJ fan you'll want this.

Lost And Found Sep 22, 2006
The fact that these songs weren't considered good enough for any Pearl Jams studio albums says something about how good this band is. This album is a classic in its own right - even if they are just B-sides, any other band would be pleased to release a Greatest Hits album as good as this.
From 'Wash' and "Dirty Frank' from the Ten era to the more recent 'Down' and 'Undone' from Riot Act, all the Pearl Jam songs that you may or may not have missed over the years are here.
You remember them...Yellow Ledbetter, Footsteps, Alone, Last Kiss, Leavin Here, Hard To Imagine, they're all here....
Some of my favourite PJ tracks of all time are on here. Special mention must go to 'Hold On', 'Let Me Sleep', the instrumental 'Brother' and 'Strangest Tribe' which reminds me of 'The Doors - Indian Summer'.
Also listen out for the hidden track at the end of disc 2, which is Eddie's ode to the late Layne Staley of Alice In Chains.
Lost Pearls Aug 08, 2006
The dogs are indeed pearls in this rarities and b-sides Pearl Jam album. In a short review, Lost Dogs is the best album that the seattle band realize in many years and have to get a place in the shelf - a special one. There are too many good songs that you will have difficulty in pick one for yourself.
In Lost Dogs the band pass its life through all the 90s, since the early years with Ten and Vs, passing through the void that inspire No Code and Binaural, and finally arriving in the 2000s with the maturity of Riot Act. Essential.
