It realy bothers me when I hear people call Riot Act one of their weakest albums. I dont know what they are listening to. This is a great album top to bottom. I must have listened to it thousands of times.
Its hard to pick just one song from the album. But if I had to listen to one of the songs over and over it would be Love Boat Captain.
LBC has it all. Great lyrics. Its a fast song yet a slow song at the same time. To boot it is a powerful song.
They need to take it out of retirement. I was lucky enough to hear it at PJ20. Not played since then. Before then it has only been played twice in the last 5 years. I was shocked to see that info :shock:

1. Green Disease is my usual 'go to' favourite. Catchy. Wish they played it a bit more. In the same category as Down and Undone.
2.Save You lyrically and musically very powerful....
3 And Yes Help Help - very underrated live and lyrically I think it's great!

i love this album. it's difficult to pick one favorite as it is, and i find it impossible to choose between LBC and Thumbing My Way. i guess this will have to do
"...bring it back someway bring it back, back, back... to the clean form, to the pure form..."
Thumbing My Way and 1/2 Full... Two very different but very awesome songs
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

I still think Riot Act contains some of the most average PJ Material. Help Help, Ghost and Get Right are all snorefests for me.
i can't decide
