Riot Act. Not a big fan of ghost, cropduster, 1/2 full or All or None. If you drop three of those and add Down instead, it would have a stronger album.
why does everyone hate those albums they are so good i've been listening to riot act all day
There is no weakest Pearl Jam album. It is a matter of opinion as to which albums you like or dislike. They couldn't put out a weak album if they tried.
It's a toss up between the last two, Riot Act and Avacado.....I would have to say Riot Act....just because I was trying so hard to like it, and gave it so many listens and still has never grown on me....however, who here really listens to the Pearl Jam studio albums anymore anyways....
it's the ONLY album that has 3 numbers i can skip without any reserve whatsoever.
yep, that's right, i never skip the crazy shit on VITALOGY.
and that is why, for me, NO CODE is the weakest PJ record. excellent are tracks 1-10.
average for me are Mankind, I'm Open and Around The Bend.
VS is what I consider to be the best rock album ever. play it loud. extra loud.
imho, of course.
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

you practically just named my favorites from riot act. well, you are and can't keep are probably my very favs from that album but i LOVE every song you just named. especially 1/2 full! you ever hear/see it live. it shreds!!
anyways, i LOVE every pj album. this is pretty much impossible.

Cause fans wanna hold onto the ten/vs days. That's why everyone likes the self titled so much. its a return to old pearl jam.
That and Riot Act just isn't that great of an album. I still listen to all the other albums but that one, including Binaural
Ditto that. Riot Act feels like the record company contractual obligation album. So bad it nearly sunk the band. No continuity. No energy. Awash in self serving political messages instead of solid song writing. Its no mistake most of it cant be heard on tour. And I so have to disagree on Avocado. Not a song on there I dont like. Its more thought out. Better guitar riffs and energy. And strong enough to get the band a nice boost in popularity. After Vs. most of the albums had at least 2 or 3 songs where at least you shrug and hit skip. Riot Act was one big shrug and skip to me.

I'd go with Riot Act by a significant margin. It has its good moments but the overall perception of the album if you're not listening to it is that it is rather bland for a PJ album.
Second (and I'm sure i'm the only one voting this way) would be Yield. I think its layout leaves it a little fractured, and several of the songs are really meant to be live more than they are studio tracks (the most severe of which is DTE which is not a particularly good listen on record)
