    Certain albums I associate with a place and a time. This one I remember well.  I was out running at night with my armband radio, listening to two Vancouver DJs as they built up the drama, before announcing that "Riot Act" would be the name of the album. I think it is probably the coolest album title in their catalog.

    This album gets better with age. The lyrics are timely for today. If the band released the exact record now, i think it would have fared better being further from a post 911 landscape.

    Spun it the other night, still a personal favourite. All Or None is a criminally underrated album closer.

    Oddly enough, the album that got me started w/ them as a hardcore fan in 2002. I loved 'I Am Mine' after hearing it on WBCN in Boston (one of three rock stations, all of which no longer exist). 17 shows and 19 years later! It's a perfect Fall/Winter mood album.

    Gotta be something good coming soon for Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary of Riot Act.

    I doubt they're going to do anything for the Riot 20th anniversary. But one thing I'd like is if they'd re-release the Save You video uncensored.

    Riot Act is still a criminally underrated album in the PJ catalog, and probably my favorite album of theirs. An album that both reflects the time when it was made and is timeless, as well.

    Boom adds a churchy carnival oddness that works.  It's gooooood.

    The current album when I got into the band, so it holds a place in my heart. I know there was zero chance of it happening but playing it all the way through at MSG on 9/11 would have been such a nice touch.
