    Definitely LBC in my opinion. I love the whole album. Some of the songs like 1/2 Full grew on me after a few listens. i sure wish Down had made it though.

    First choice on repeat.

    I've gotta go with Save You for the time being. Great anger in this song. It's cool to hear a song about caring for someone and goes beyond mush.

    This song fires me up.
    "No time to be void or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all."

    I'd have to say Save You or All or None.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.
  • This is soooo unfair to have to only choose one song but so be it:

    CAN'T KEEP it's so beautiful and it gets me going!


    close contenders:

    Save You
    Get Right
    You Are

    Ghost
    All or None

    Cropduster then

  • my favorites are : save you , you are and LBC

    Clearly, Riot Act is a much better album.
    There are some unique, revolutionary sounds in Rito Act-some of the best writing they put together as well. All around a very nice piece.
    Binaural a must have access to CD at any given time in the car,..i just get these urges to hear like insigninigance, or nothing as it seems..
    Overall it just dosnent compare to Riot Act, in my humble opinion.
  • ...converted me from a repub...opened my eyes...also all or none, good tune
  • RA is a piece of fuckin garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have to go with "Save You"
    ".....this land is mine, this land is free
    i'll do what i want, but irresponsibly
    it's evolution baby...."

    I'm gonna go for Green Disease. It makes me want to airdrum all over the place.
    I like driving backwards in the fog, 'cause it doesn't remind of anything...

    SAVE YOU!!! by far...rockin' tune and emotional lyrics, can't get aby better than that..my friend and I have a dilema about the meaning..she thinks eddy's singing to a drug-addict friend but I think it's for a girl, wife..in short femmale...do you have any insight on that question?

    green disease,cropduster,lbc,can't keep,saveyou,thumb,bush,arc,i am mine,etc. ....these are my favorites and probably in order...in cropduster "everyone is practicing, but this worlds an accident" is he talkin about having sex or making babies...or am i way off base.

    I think or relate the song like your friend..."I'm gonna save you fucker" fits perfect with me on saving a lot of my addict friends...its a violent song for violent times...it even helps me save myself

    even at my age, olderman, i have friends that are no longer alive ..

    Get Right is my message to those whose particles yearn for stimulation..

    Get Right can be interpreted as a slap upside the head ..

    or

    as an amazing guitar jam by PEARL JAM.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    This is to my surprise, clearly not this thread's favorite!!
    The guit riff, the guit groove, the drum's ponctuations along with the base ahhhh and the poem, the words paint awsome images and
    "Love is a Tower and you're the Key...Leading me higher and let me in"
    "Keepin us close,,so close,,ahh down the line(This "line" is the exploded road from the intro, but when shit hits the fan you still need to power through, and that is when love becomes a tower, a pillar, a roman pillar that still to this day still stands in the ruins, eroded by time as a witness to the Empire's strength. So much to expand from this song...
    "Sometimes I burn like a dot un the sun...With no one knowing, But you keepin me strong movin along with you"

    I find the Blue'sy tunes hit the spot, Nothing as it seems (Binaural), 1/2 Full, I am mine, All or None. I feel that in the past 2 albums, this is where they've expanded their creativity in a not too experimental way!!! I think Mat Cameron has help this a great deal, finally its seems that the chemestry from the early days is back.

    Cheers

    I agree about them expanding their creativity by going more into bluesrock. Definitely for the best.

  • All or None....so powerful, nothing short of amazing.
