totally...

I'd like to call it "artsy", and that PJ period came to an end with the avocado thing... that's poppy.

And that's that.

Now, about the original post question. I'd say since the avocado was released. Now that a lot of RA haters are fed up with the shanias, they're developing more appreciation for the real pj feel. Welcome back, enjoy.

i dont NORMALLY listen to Riot Act on a regular basis. However, one morning not too long ago, it was cold and dark and I went for a drive and put Riot Act on. Man oh man. That disc is a great one. Its not my FAVORITE. But it was good company that cold morning in cali. There ARE some gems on there. I must say, Im more of a rockin out kinda person and not into the "slow jams" but.......Thumbing My WAy is GREAT.
