    Enjoyable album... but masterpiece is stretching it a bit.

    Anyone else notice how River Cross is a lot like Memory of a Free Festival by David Bowie?

    And for those Pearl Jam fans who truly have a set of balls, Riot Act is third. That album represents "angry" PJ as well or better than any other. Love it!

    Agree with this completely. Binaural is also grossly underrated.

    I agree - both Binaural and Riot Act are two of PJs most underrated (and under-appreciated) albums. Two of my favs personally.

    With Gigaton - it’s like the band found a way to take the various sounds of the past 30 years (and really - since No Code/Yield - so 22ish years ago) and made Gigaton. Hard to explain but I hear so many ties to the other records sonically speaking. 

    I sat down with my oldest son tonight to “bro” out. We listened to various songs off of every record while hanging. Once we got to Gigaton—I had to play the whole thing. Couldn’t help myself. 

    It’s my go-to these days... I absolutely love it.

    Just a superb album,through start to finish. Haven't like an album by them this much since Yield.

    Still listening to Gigaton daily.  I can’t fully say it’s my favorite since Yield until I hear them live but it’s trending in that direction.
