FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Pearl Jam to re-release the "riot act" album in 2010

Seattle, WA - February 3, 2009 - In celebration of the 11th anniversary of the release of what most sane people consider to be Pearl Jam's best album, YIELD, the band wishes to rectify it's lone horrid blemish in what has been an otherwise stellar discography.

In 2010, Pearl Jam will re-release the much-maligned album riot act in a "far superior form," say sources close to the band. Guitarist Stone Gossard said, "Although the band liked the album at the time, we realize now that it just flat out sucks. For anyone who actually wasted 3 minutes of their life to listen to Get Right and its horrid chorus - we are so sorry. We owe you something."

But, how will they improve the album if it's so horrible? Lead vocalist Ed Vedder explained, "Ummmm, well, there's a saying that I'm fond of - 'You can't shine shit - you just have to clean it up.' Um, that applies here. There's no way to improve songs like Get Right or Ghost. The album has Help, Help on it - I don't know what that was about. I mean, how in the hell do you fix that? Those songs make Sweet Lew sound like Stairway to Heaven, and we're just now realizing it. Umm."

Vedder continued, "Therefore, we are re-releasing the album as a blank CD with no music on it at all. People can put on the re-release of the 7th album, and just enjoy the silence and the artwork (which is still pretty cool). For the first 50 copies purchased, Stone will do your taxes. It was his fault anyway."

Dude, these posts you make about re-issuing Riot Act are so fucking lame. This is at least the 3rd or 4th time you put out a Riot Act "press release"

No, if I think it's not funny, I'm gonna say it's not funny. Just like I have with Family Guy and Wedding Crashers in the past.

Actually it's the second one. But if your hyperbole about a 3rd or 4th makes you feel rad, then rock on dude.

Texas Tech game is rocking!

That's cool. Sometimes, however, with crazy people ... it's best just to nod and smile.

Yeah I sure feel real rad for mistakenly thinking this is the 3rd or 4th time you've posted this rather than just the 2nd.

Sup bro! I'm married, have a baby....life has changed! He's finally asleep now....we're doing the "sleep training" thing to get him to sleep through the night. Could be a long night.

Just for ledbetterman, I'll post the OP a 3rd & 4th time around 2 and 4 am when the kid assuredly wakes up again.

Sup all...I miss this place.

Dude! What do you think of the new album? I like it. It's not rad (like re-posting this thread), but I dig it. Amongst the Waves is a hit with me. To stay on-topic, I believe re-releasing riot act as a blank cd is quite an upgrade, wouldn't you agree?
