    I came to conclusion that its pretty much impossible to say my favorite PJ album, but Avocado will always be my favorite deep down.

    But thats really only because I started getting into PJ on a serious level when Avocado came out, and also when I first saw them in 06. Memories.

    They really don't have a single weak album and that's why they're one of the best ever.

    After avocado
    Backspacer was a huge disappointment
    I'm hoping "of the earth" is a sign of their future direction with some epic grunge stomp and mccready stone extended guitar solos...
    I don't think there is one significant guitar solo in all of Backspacer...
    That's just not right!

    yeah it's tough to call "one" of them. they each represent a different time in the life and are all equally significant in building their legacy.

    when it first came out i loved it.

    then about a year later i didn't lke it that much anymore.

    recently i started listening to it again, and i'm back to really liking it.

    <3 is a heart. a sideways one. A "crooked" one. ;)

    Avocado is very underrated and has some really awesome lyrics. If you don't love it yet, give it time. :D

    Watch out also for </3 - which is how I'll feel when they announce the 20th anniversary concert and I realise I'm too broke to go.

    What were we talking about? Oh yeah...Avocado...right. Great record - up there with my favourites. Army Reserve somehow went from being my least favourite song on that album to one of my favourite Pearl Jam songs ever.

    I just started back up listening to it after watching the ACL show this weekend again. Army Reserve and Inside are really great tunes and since I put the CD in my car I am reminded that it is a Damn good Album. Now I will probably have it playing in my car for the next few weeks and will be enjoying every minute of it!!! :D

    You cant really compare PJ albums. To say that Backspacer was a disappointment after avocado is subjective and would give merit to me saying that vitalogy was a disappointment compared to Vs.

    But yeah, avocado is great, but i'd take backspacer, yield, vs, ten and binaural over that one if i had to choose

    Funny, I was just thinking the other day that it hasn't aged that well for me.

    I loved, loved, loved Backspacer since the very beginning and I haven't stopped loving it since.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
