    Ghost and Cropduster really are awful, vanilla lameness

    now for love:

    The rest of Riot Act is fantastic.

    I don't see how you say "awful", frankly they are to plain to be awful, I will admit they kinda bore me at times but if your listening to the album straigt through they add a nice touch

    to me its worse that way. in fact i made a playlist of Riot Act without them (and LBC) because they hurt the flow IMO. too many songs on that album anyway :).

    i like to get to the awesome second half as soon as possible.

    My girlfriend and I went to see Radiohead in Cuyahoga Falls in April '08. While we were there in Ohio, we went to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Museum. I got Ten and Riot Act on vinyl for $35 total. It was a good day.

    Riot Act is probably my favorite album. I like the production and the music is fucking fantastic. I think it is the most complete album Pearl Jam have put out. Of course, it saddens me that the impetus for the album was the death of fans. RIP

    Mike always pours out his heart when his fingers touch nickel, but none more so than on All Or None.

    1/2 Full, Ghost, Green Disease, Help Help...the album is amazing. I Am Mine is one of the most uplifting songs ever written. The syncopation of You Are, the bombast of Save You, the vulnerability of Thumbing My Way and Arc, the spoken word of Bu$hleaguer. It has a little bit of everything.

    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

    Aside from the beauty that is Binaural, I agree with you. I like the warmth and ruggedness of RA's sound.
    Nothing but thanks for those willing to give of their soul to a stranger. And I hate to say it but The Who are overated.
