    OH! THE PEARL JAM ALBUM! Yeah, sorry, I'm of no help.

    i don't think everyone hates it. it's just an uneven album. the highs are high but the lows are expecially low (cropduster, get right). It's a hell of a lot better than the last two albums though. Is the record that hard to find? It was in the good section forever before i picked up a copy.

    something just isn't there on this album. great songs, but the studio versions for the most point don't do it for me.


    Live, however, i FUCKING LOVE IT!!! Green Disease, LBC, 1/2 Full, Arc, I am Mine, Can't Keep, Save you, You are. fucking brilliant tunes live.

    As far as the vinyl goes, i'd like to get my hands on it.
    It's all happening....

    sorry man. too many get rights, cropdusters, and ghosts that summer killing momentum in sets. but if you dig it i'm happy for you.

    "Get Right" is fantastic!

    On a serious note, if anyone has an extra copy and wants to sell it to me, I'm definitely interested!

    Imagine how much it sucks to be Cropduster right now....

    Someone comes in and starts bashing Cropduster and Get Right; regarding them as the lowest of all songs.

    Then in comes the Riot Act knight in shining armour on white horseback to save and redeem those songs only to say....

    "Get Right is LOW?! Get Right is fantastic!"

    meanwhile Cropduster stays in the dark corner as he just got his ass handed to him.

    Haha true but I'm not a huge fan of that song either, but I wouldn't say it's LOW

    "Cropduster" is a fucking brilliant song. Who gives a shit what it sounds like wedged between "Corduroy" and "Even Flow".

    All the Riot Act threads end like this:

    X song sucks... X song is Mediocre...

    Ghost and Cropduster are awesome BTW :P
