Can we honestly separate their albums in 3 perfect sets of 3 (in terms of phases of the band's history)?
Or is it like this: Ten-Vs./Vitalogy-Binaural/(post 9/11) Riot Act-Backspacer. How would you arrange their albums, including Lost Dogs?

    Ten, to me stands alone

    I would group Vs/Vitalogy together as those are angry
    No Code/Yield
    Binaural/Riot Act/Lost Dogs
    Avacado also stands alone based on what I've heard from Backspacer

    my grouping would be similar to above, except ten/vs/vitalogy sit together because they all came out before i was a fan. i was still listening to mariah carey. those 3 albums are part of the "what the fuck was i DOING??" years.

    Based on my life, here goes -

    Stage One - Off the Charts Fanatic = Ten, Vs., Vitalogy

    Stage Two - "My Waffle Years" what the Fuck Was I Thinking not a big fan = No Code thru Lost Dogs

    Stage Three - Prodigal Son Returns For Good = Avocado and beyond. (At this point I bought every PJ album and was like a little kid at Christmas!!)

    No code and yield are a little too different to group together for me

    Ten - entering the game, stands alone
    Vs./Vitalogy - good, solid, angry albums, at their peek
    No Code - band purposely pulls back and goes of the grid, non-ticketmaster tour, album sales drop
    Yield - a "re-entry", touring again, playing nice with the media again
    Binaural - catch their breath
    Riot Act - album with purpose and anger, good solid tour
    Avacado - don't have a feeling on this one
    Backspacer - time will tell, but another "re-entry", doing new marketing, interesting tour so far, full of surprises
