''Yield'' is the fifth studio album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on February 3, 1998 through Epic Records. Following a short tour for its previous album, ''No Code'' (1996), Pearl Jam went into the studio in 1997 to record its follow-up. The album was proclaimed as a return to the band's early, straightforward rock sound.

''Yield'' debuted at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200, but like ''No Code'', soon began dropping down the charts. However, the album was well-received critically, and eventually outsold ''No Code''. The band did more promotion for the album, including a return to full-scale touring and the release of a music video. The album has been certified platinum by the RIAA in the United States. - Wikipedia
