    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.

    agreed

    Binaural and Riot Act are probably the strongest albums the band has released.

    Also up there is Vs, what a solid record, and Vitalogy and No Code.

    Then Yield...

    Avocado and Ten are probably at the bottom of the pile for me.

    That being said, I like all 8 records.

    I completely agree with this.

    this is spot on in my opinion.

    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)
