and the cd is amazing, but there is one thing I don't understand.

While reading reviews and the such on the cd at amazon.com everyone mentioned "help help" like it was a really bad song or just one that no one really liked.

Well this is definately THE most underrated song ever. Sure teh lyrics aren't that great but the riff for the chorus is awesome, and the melody couldn't be better. I really like this song, and if you haven't heard it or never really listened to it I urge you to do so

    If LBC doesent hit you 1st time, just keep listening to it, eventually it'll blow you away.

    I bought Riot Act straight after Ten, after not hearing much PJ. It took me a while to get use to the massive change in their sound but i love both albums equally now.

    Riot Act was well recd by the critics and I think mostlike it on these boards. Me personally it is my 3rd favourite behind Binaural and No Code.

    Favourtie tracks are the majestic Cant Keep, the Gritty Save You, Melodic Green Disease, the beautiful Thumbing My Way and the full on rocker 1/2 Full.

    Only dull track for me was You Are, I know its a different sound but it sounds flat to me
    Somtimes i know, sometimes i rise,sometimes i fall,sometimes i dont,sometimes i cringe,somtimes i live sometimes i walk,sometimes i kneel,somtimes i speek of nothing at all,sometimes i reach to myself dear god

    I didn't like this album from the day i bought it with the exception of lbc and i am mine. I gave it another chance the other night (in the headphones) and now i'm pretty fond of it.
    And after all this, won't you give me a smile?

    I think this a great album because it's so narrow. It really drills into frustration, it's like pure ore. he vocals are to forward in the mix and the rhythms drive.

    I think it's one of their rawest albums.

    gotta love the Ghost and Cropduster. Help Help is a good song, theres just something off about it in a way I can't get into. Could be the production or something else I don't understand. Truly a great album.
