The Official I don't care for "riot act" thread

edited August 2009 in The Porch
This is a thread for all the non-ALWP folk on the board. If you think riot act is awful, and you'd rather listen to Yanni on repeat for 3 hours than listen to riot act, then this thread is for you.

For all you riot act folk, go have some sushi and enjoy. :)

    "Official"? So the band sanctioned this?

    I wouldn't go as far as calling this album quote "Horrible". Although it has some amazing songs its the only album PJ has put out that I feel contains "filler". Not a fan of 1/2 full, Cropduster, Help Help, or Ghost. Its my least favorite.

    Yes, it's official. You know why? because they don't play songs from it anymore. They know, they have ears.

    Why did the chicken cross the road? because crossing the road was as original of a thought as your response.

    I love, love, love I Am Mine. One of the most beautiful songs they've ever written.
    Green Disease is awesome.
    Thumbing My Way and You Are are departures from the band's normal sound and I really like them too.

    That being said, I skip over all the others honestly. All or None and Cropduster are ok, though.

    I am convinced that if you love riot act, you are 100%, poster-loving, hoodie-wearing, "Sweet Lew is the new Stairway to Heaven"-Jamily. That's right. If you love riot act, you are a poster adoring pearligious Jamily.

    Even you have to admit that Binaural is far worse..not even close by comparison...

    put on a slow, dumb show for you

    and I'll overdo it'
  • fanch75fanch75 Posts: 3,734
    Champ, I love binaural, even "Evacuation." Really. riot act is just god-awful-terrible. I'm sure a few from the non-pearligious agree.

    i dont understand why so many people don't like Riot Act, it is one of my favorites, although I can't choose a favorite with PJs albums. I love You Are and its so cool live really hope they play it at the key

    you say that as if it was a bad thing :lol:

    seriously though, your pure hyperbole aside...i'm having difficulty understanding how you can be a pearl jam fan and yet HATE any of their releases. sure, there are a few weaker tracks on there, but some strong work as well. of course, dubya probably didn't get a kick out of riot act. your daddy a cia man? :lol:
  • FlaggFlagg Posts: 5,856
    Binaural is 100 times better. There are no nonsense songs on Binaural like Get Right and Cropduster. And no spoken-word mumbo jumbo either. Jeez even Pearl Jam doesn't like Riot Act.

    Riot Act is fantastic and underrated. How can you not like half full and cropduster. Listen to cropduster's lyrics and tell me its bad. Riot Act has fantastic songs like Cropduster, Half Full, Can't Keep, You Are, I Am Mine...those alone make it worth while. Different than Ten era stuff, but not at all bad. Different and bad are quite different things.

    because I have me own brain and can think for meself. ALL of their albums are great...but this one. It, is, horrible.

    Riot Act isn't my favorite album at all... Binaural is much much much better of an album... that said, I don't HATE riot act, I just think it would have been better w/ a few cuts here and there and a few additions here and there and a little better production... I like it more than Avocado though.

    Finally, a voice of reason. My God. Do people really think that riot act (as an album) is good?

    You assuredly are an advanced-level white person. Whoah. So where do you find great sushi in Europe? Where do you go backpacking? What should I do if I want to take a year off and go backpacking across Europe? Where is a great place to recycle? And where oh where, is the nearest Whole Foods? Do they have indie rock in Europe? What if they already have heard of the bands I like - what do I do?

    what the hell is and an "advanced-level white person"? are you feeling insecure because you had to google the word to find out what it means? not sure where the anger is coming from but maybe you need to up the ritalin dosage or something. never been to europe, don't even know wtf "Whole Foods". why do you feel the need to define someone that disagrees w you (and incredibly inaccurately at that)? you got issues my man.
