i accidentally stumbled upon this song shuffling through my i-pod.
it actually infuriates me that such a talented bunch of musicians can come up with such a heap of total shit. fuck it pains my ears it's so terrible.

Well that's just silly. everyone loves Binaural. If anybody says otherwise I'll start posting with exclamation marks again.
Well 90% of people hate Riot Act because it does'nt sound like the catchy rifforama that Ten and Vs were...I am saying listen more and the songs are more complex, the themes lyrically and musically are more complex...Plus the fact that when Ten and Vs were big everybody on this board was in their 'hey day', the music reminds them of their teenage years, probably the best time of their lives...
Good Lord. Here's the default "You aren't smart enough to like riot act" reaction.
I listen to quite a bit of prog metal and lemme tell ya, and that stuff is crazy musically, both in its technical nature and its complexity.
Disliking riot act has nothing to do with being a simpleton, a dumbass, or not "evolving." People who point to liking riot act b/c they are so much smarter than everyone else needs to get over themselves and realize that different folks have different opinions and just maybe some people just don't like the songs on some albums.
Well, on Riot Act Ed does not pant and gasp like he does on Ten and Mike McCready's solos are not zeroxed from Jimi or Stevie Ray...So the initial grab is probably not there...to really like Riot Act you do need to persist a little more...get away from the fact that the band are done with the panting and gasping ect. It has nothing to do with being smarter, but to like Riot Act you need get it's message...and it has a far bigger and more important message than most of the earlier records. If you are "in to" the messages then I think you will realise that Ten/Vs, as great as they were, are alot more simple. There's nothing wrong with that, some of the greatest music ever is simple...but I just don't get how somebody could say "all of the songs off Riot Act suck"...please, they don't ALL suck, that's just nonsense or just an opinion I guess, a very uninformed opinion....in my humble opinion
You're not alone. It's one of my fav PJ songs. I think Gone must be the new cool song to 'hate'. Kinda like Evacuation. That's the only logical explanation.
I will admit that the full band version could be a lot stronger, but acoustic Gone is a masterpiece.

And that's exactly why everybody creams over Avocado...because it's a *return* to that style!

I love Gone, too, as you said - especially acoustic version.
When I first got the Avocado album, and listened to it a few times, the one clear cut song (other than WWS which was on the radio) that stuck out to me was Gone. I'm a fan of the song, and was upset it never got anywhere as a radio single. But I am glad they played it at the first '06 Boston show.

It doesn't suck to be him; he has an opinion on a song, that's all. Personally, I think Gone is great (I love when PJ explores themes of escapism and the "take a drive" metaphors), but he doesn't.

Gone is by far the worst song Pete Townshend ever wrote.

Yeah I don't like their current album very much.
"Worldwide Suicide" is a kickass song though...

"You Are" on the other hand..
Every couple of months I'll think "maybe "You Are" isn't so bad.. I'll listen to it again, maybe it will grow on me.."
..and every couple of months I'm highly, highly disappointed.
