But when I heard that lyric, it made a lot of sense to me. It might mean something completely different to Eddie. You might have five great artists in the band, but if they can't compromise and work together, you don't have a great band. In this band, and I think in rock in general the art of compromise is almost as important as the art of individual expression. Concerning the original album title, Gossard said:ДЇor me, that title represented a lot of struggles that you go through trying to make a record.Your own independence-your own soul-versus everybody else's. was titled Five Against One, which was taken from the lyric 'One, two, three, four, five against one. Maybe we don't really want people to understand it.' So I told him what it was about and he said, 'You're right. He wanted people to understand exactly what I was singing. It's not so much personal, it's just, some person at the record company said the other day that they wanted the vocals turned up. In an interview with Melody Maker in 1993, vocalist Eddie Vedder stated:

The actual meaning for 'Animal' has usually been confused by fans with some thinking it's about the band's hatred towards the media and others thinking it's about gang rape. It ended up being the one we used on the record. George Webb, a guy who takes care of all our guitars and amps, was sitting there and I told him I'd do a solo for him. Guitarist Mike McCready said about the song: 'Animal' originated as an instrumental demo called 'Weird A' that was written by guitarist Stone Gossard in 1990.
