    Not a fan of Comatose, but the rest is stellar.

    They played pretty much the whole album for the first time at the London, Astoria show in 2006.  Was the best PJ show I have ever (and probably will ever) been to! Will never forget hearing Army Reserve for the first time - Jeff's bass line just slayed!

    Pearl Jam/Avocado is their best album since Yield. Top 5 for me.

    It easily holds up much better than anything else post Yield (as JimmyV said).  Great album and a great tour as well.

    The tour was brilliant.  San Diego 2006 show is one to listen to

    Saw them in LA and it was awesome, minus the fuckface who puked all over the row behind us just into the set.

    Weird harsh sound on the album and Eddie sounded strained and rough (coming from me loving Riot Act) were my first impression. Love the songs live, especially now years later. Always loved WWS, Severed Hand, Gone etc. But have a hard time with Comatose and a song like Marker in the Sand - even though the lyrics are great - feels held back in some way. Comeback feels a bit "on the nose" or simple to me. 

    Remember everything about that period. WWS dropping. The surprisingly cheap looking throw-away music video. The Letterman appearance (streamed it live in the middle of the night from Sweden on a small 14'' computer screen). SNL.

    Agreed, awesome tour. Self titled was a nice comeback album after riot act.

    Really?! I mean we all have different tastes, I get that, but I would put Comatose in my top 10 favorite PJ songs.  I kinda figured it was one of everyone's favorite rockers.  The big guitars at the start sound so great.

    Yeah, different strokes, but Comatose and Supersonic are duds, IMO, that are the only lows (Fixer too) on otherwise great albums.
    Same goes for the tour discussion above, the 2006 tour is unlistenable to me...everything is played WAY too fast. Had a great time at all the shows we attended, but that was peak speed.

    Insane tour, and this album has always felt under appreciated imo. I love it

    Probably tied with Binaural for 6th for me. This is their last album where the great songs outnumbered the good songs and ok songs.
