    Let's begin the illogical dismantling of another underappreciated album to follow the disrespect Binaural was given.

    Every band has weak links. A lot of fans think binaural and riot act are it. There s definitely some gems on it but overall it seems to be their two weakest products. Self titled was a nice rebound.

    Self Titled is the worst album they ever put out.
    That award goes to riot act. ;)
    Backspacer is the winner..
    Athens 2006. Dusseldorf 2007. Berlin 2009. Venice 2010. Amsterdam 1 2012. Amsterdam 1+2 2014. Buenos Aires 2015.
    Prague Krakow Berlin 2018. Berlin 2022
    EV, Taormina 1+2 2017.

    I wish i was the souvenir you kept your house key on..

    These are my two favorite albums. I would call the weak link as Backspacer. I really don't see how anyone could say Binaural or RA are weaker than BS but that's what makes the world go around I guess.

    I think it's quite interesting that to the four Riot Act songs that weren't played on the Lightning Bolt tour are the same ones that are about to be eliminated.

    It appears that absence does NOT make the heart grow fonder.

    So which of the remaining 11 songs gets (partial) immunity by not being listed for round two?

    So what do you think is their weakest album? And please don't say they are equal.

    **** I AM MINE **** Sorry but it true. Never enjoyed this tune, first original I had to get to get used the fact I didn't like.

    Not the worst on the album but a bland song.

    Eddie solo playing this song elevated it to elite status.

    Agree better solo. It sounds like a song that writes itself. It feels like you have heard it 100 times when you listen the first time.

    Top notch campfire song that any piss poor guitarist (like me) can play and sing and have fun with.
