The 1996 sessions for No Code featured longtime producer Brendan O’Brien (his third consecutive collaboration with the band) and drummer Jack Irons, who’d joined the band at the end of the Vitalogy sessions. They explored new approaches to writing and recording, developing songs out of jam sessions and eschewing their stadium-rock style for self-examining ballads, garage rock and even psychedelic sounds. “No Code” became the band’s third consecutive No. 1 album, with lead single “Who You Are” topping Billboard’s Modern Rock chart.
