    Ghost is amazing.

    Green Disease & Save You are pretty great.

    Get Right & Love Boat Capt are above average.

    Cropduster & I Am Mine are pretty awesome. 1/2 Full, not too shabby.

    It is uneven, but I like it. :)

    It's a hell of a lot better than the last two albums though.

    True. Even if Eddies voice is "tired" on it, it's not as tired as the latest two album... which to me feel uninspired (and almost tacky) :) Don't bash me.

    I think it's a little overlong, and Love Boat Captain is corny as hell, and ofcourse Down should of been on the album, something like this would be more like it:

    1) Can't Keep
    2) Save You
    3) Cropduster
    4) Down
    5) I Am Mine
    6) You Are
    7) Thumbing My Way
    8) Green Disease
    9) Bushleaguer
    10) Half Full
    11) Arc
    12) All Or None

    love riot act......best "sounding" pj album ever made

    Aside from the beauty that is Binaural, I agree with you. I like the warmth and ruggedness of RA's sound.

    maybe parachutes is their worst song ever, although it worked in context on that episode of iconoclasts

    I love Riot Act. Not my favorite, but far far better than Back Spacer.
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    Apparently all you "Riot Act" lovers/haters missed the point of my post...someone sell me their "Riot Act" vinyl! Anyone with 2 copies??? Anyone REALLY hate it, to the point where you can't even stand to own it??? From one "Riot Act" lover to all the "Riot Act" haters: sell me that shit! Its so hard to find and if I'm going to pay someone, I'd rather they be a PJ Ten Club member...

    Make it happen!

    When Riot Act came out and Can't Keep was on it it was as though Eddie was singing what I had been thinking the couple years up to that.
    I love that album- Arc, I am Mine, Thumbing My Way, All or None, its just awesome.
    And I love the cover art- one of my favorite t-shirts that my husband wears.
  • MASMAS Posts: 630
    I could've sworn I watched the entire show but I must have missed it somehow...i'll check utube...

    I like Riot Act I know it's not a stand out Pearl Jam album but........

    Highs of Riot act for me

    Save You
    Love Boat Captain
    Cropduster
    I Am Mine
    Thumbing My Way
    You Are
    Get Right

    The low point

    Help Help is the worst song on any Pearl Jam album by far how the heck could that make the final cut! What a waste.

    I love "Can't Keep"
    Something happened with this record.
    I love it now.
