Why was the thread title changed? That's kind of ridiculous. It's obvious this thread isn't really that serious.
I'm not certain. But if the mods changed it, it probably was to remind Fanch that trolling is against the message board rules.
The last time he started one of these in February it was locked, yet he persists. Why?
Cause it gets people angry and fighting. That is inciting flames. Again against message board rules.
This thread doesn't bother me. I enjoy reading a good flame out, but that is why the name was probably changed and why this will be locked, and why you will see another one of these in 6 months or so from Fanch.
That is the beauty of music, we all hear different things. I actually like riot act. I love help help but can't stand save you. It doesn't make sense really. Avocado in my opinion is their worst, & by worst I mean least listened to as I like all the records.
How can you say SAVE YOU doesn't make sense?I have a younger brother with a drug addiction and this song captures the feelings perfectly.If you don't know its about locking yourself in a house with the person your trying to get off of the shit and basically detoxing them.GREAT fn lyrics,GREAT!!!!
And the feeling in his voice when he sings it,I guarantee he has done this sht before.I think it is very powerful, and it is one of the few pj tunes where I am sure of what every line means.

Best thing to do until this is locked is to:
You are wrong if you believe Fanch starts these threads to get people angry and incite fighting.
100% wrong.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Actually this post started from me and stanch going back and forth in another thread about the album.I go to reply once more and wait for a reply from him to see that he started a whole new thread on the subject.I dont know the fellow very well but it did seem like he was trying to be a dick about it.fwiw
What makes this official. There is no such thing as a bad pearl jam album I like Riot Act how could I not I love you are, thumbing my way, cropduster, get right, I am mine, love boat captain, save you, green disease all songs I love off Riot Act. I couldn't disagree more. Maybe you should go on the Creed website I hear there's a reunion.

Wrong......
Fanch and his humorous reviews of Riot Act, and other albums, go back a few years.
They are actually some of the best threads ever written on this board.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
No I am not wrong,though I did state it wrong.He went back last night and posted in the old thread to bring it back up after our difference,I would not lie to you.
I am trying to find it for you now
Looking back at the thread I was talking about,on page three about single video theory,calling him a dick is probably a little strong.We just had a difference of opinion.

You dont need to find anything for me.
I understand, exactly, why Fanch does what he does.
And I appreciate what Fanch brings to this board, as do a lot of other people.
Its called humor, and sarcasm.

If I started an "Avocado Sucks" thread (and "Avocado" does suck) then people would start crying, running to their CD players to listen to "Come Back". But it's perfectly acceptable to bash "Riot Act".
Secretly, Fanch LOVES Riot Act more than YIELD, and he has a "Jamily" tramp stamp tattoo. Don't let him fool you. He also sings Thumbing My Way to his child as a lullaby.
Riot Act has some good songs, but overall I think its a weak effort. For me, a lot of it has to do with the performances and some songs don't seem quite finished. Something about some of the songs just sounds "flat." That's the best way I can explain it. I also think they should've cut some of the weaker tracks to make it a tighter album.
As you can see below, I like most of the songs on the album, but the flat performances ruin the album for me.
Can't Keep - Good Song
Save Y ou - Good -Song - Sounds 100 % better live
Love Boat Captain - Kidve mediocre - Sounds Great live!
Cropduster - I like this, but still feel its a mediocre songl
Ghost - Dont like it. The "away away" bits are cringeworthy
I am Mine - Good/Great
Thumbing my Way - Good/Great
You Are - Good
Get Right - Its okay - still like it
Green Disease - Its okay .. kinda mediocre
Bu$h - Really like the chorus, but the spoken word bit kidnve ruins it for me.
Help Help - One of my least favorite PJ songs. Just horrible to me. Heard a live version from an 03 boot and thought it sounded a lot better
1/2 Full - Good song
Arc - Good
All or none - Great

what I meant is most people like save you & dislike help help. Where as I am the opposite. To me save you is a generic riff, however lyrically I can see how it can hit home for some.
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 hear you, Riot Act is definitely a skipping album. Some songs in my opinion are complete garbage like Help Help, You Are, Cropduster, and Bushleaguer...but some I really dig like Thumbing My Way, Can't Keep, LBC (shitty title and all), I Am Mine, Half Full, and Save You....Even All or None is pretty good at times..I think both albums are pretty shitty in the regards that you can't just pop it in and listen front to back like Yield or Vs....anyway, does anyone really take your opinions seriously? You Kiss loving, Natty Lite drinking redneck ..
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'

100% wrong.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Then why?
And he surely isnt here to start fights.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I don't follow members and their posts very much.
Perhaps you could just tell me what he is all about. That would be way easier.
That seems about right, and what I was saying.

KISS was my favorite band whe I was in the 2nd grade, now it's unlistenable
I am trying to find it for you now
