    Wow. That's way harsh. People with your kind of attitude towards others is what really makes me embarrassed to be a hardcore PJ fan.

    thank you, brother Yosi.

    Classing up the front page again. BUMP.

    What were they thinking on this one? Maybe Cameron brought some shrooms to the studio and shared them with the rest of the guys.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    BUMP. The newbies and their "Analog Memberships" need to learn the ways of the YIELD Council, which has become all but extinct on this board.

    I was the bigger Riot Act hater, but came to love it in recent years. I apologised to all of those I had argued with about it. I was wrong and they were right.

    Don't get me started on Backspacer though ... :o

    I can have Riot Act on endless repaet. There is something magical when Can't Keep starts.

    I can't even get through Avocado or Backspacer without skipping.

    Riot Act is a true gem. I don't get why Yield would be better...

    Go Riot Act!

    Sensible words! I absolutely adore Riot Act. From 'Can't Keep' all the way through to the end of 'All Or None' its just a beautiful piece of work. Some of Ed's finest lyrics are on the album I think.

    Riot Act (and Vs) are my favourite albums without doubt.

    Eddie sounds "dumpy", they all sound tired, the songs suck, the mixing is not powerful or balanced, cameron's songwriting is subpar, help help is a disaster, and it is their worst album. period.

    So many mistakes in one post its hard to know where to start. I guess the begining?

    Ed sounds great. He sounds mature, and sad. Which is perfect, because it truly portrays the sadness in the songs album. He doesn't need to scream to get his point across; there is serious power in his performance.

    I'm not sure what it means to say "they all sound tired". I think there is some serious momentum and charge on quite a few tracks on this album. Mike sounds far from tired on lots of tracks on this one.

    The songs do anything but suck. Can't Keep, Cropduster, Ghost, I Am Mine, Help Help, 1/2 Full, All or None, just to name a few are all pretty amazing songs (I obviously think the rest are all amazing too).

    I'm not going to address the mixing because I don't really know anything about it, and truth be told, I'm not so interested in bullshitting.

    I love Cameron's tracks on this album. Super creative.

    I already mentioned Help, Help being awesome. That might be their most underrated tune. The end (from the lyrics "The man they call my enemy...") - Awesome.

    Easily their best album.

    And just for the record, I love Yield. My 3 favorite PJ albums are Riot Act, Binaural and Yield.
