we don't need to hear a bunch of dime-store critics with shitty opinions reiterated a million times!
To be fair, they've got as much right, and as much critical credentials, to say they don't like it, as you've got to say you like it. Or like anything, for that matter. You can disagree, but don't act like they can't voice their opinions.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
i'm not here to trash the album, i think its great...i love all pearl jam albums equally, i run them all into the ground and then get sick of them and then rediscover them again......but, having just typed in "unemployable" on youtube, it reminded me that this album has some of the most awkward song titles ever:
severed hand?
MARKER IN THE SAND? (this one takes the cake)
unemployable?
army reserve?
inside job? (maybe not as bad as the others...ok done venting)
yeah, those are much worse song titles then
go
why go
deep
garden
porch
once
jeremy
glorified G
leash
should i go on?
ill stop. my point, is that they have always had some pretty lame song titles.
but thats what made them cool too. lame titles, awesome songs!
Peace, Love.

i agree. many have voiced their opinions,again & again!
we fucking know all about the fair weather dis-satisfied assholes who don't like self titled/riot act/Binaural because of reason A,B or C!
get over it!! they are what they are! i'm sick of negative,whiny wanna-be critic fucks with the "i have the right to bitch if i want" bullshit.
yeah and i also have the right to say fuck off! (no one in particular)

well i guess i prefer lame one word titles to lame multi-word titles...and as far as avocado bashing, i said i love the songs and the album, it just has some awkward titles in my opinion....and i'm not a hater in general, i come on here to discuss all things pearl jam - the good, the bad, and the ugly...thats whats so great about this forum, you can get real specific.....its not just talking about pearl jam, its as specific as talking about the song titles on their last album, etc......i can't talk about this shit with my real life friends!!!
and one more thing...the threads i've started in the past that have been unpopular always end up being kept alive for days or weeks by people saying "this is a stupid thread and i wish it would go away"
if you hate a thread and want it to go away, DON"T RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!

oh, i know you were not bashing the album. i just think "marker in the sand" leaves a lot more to the imagination then, , ......well any of the titles i posted.
its all good. no worries. we just deffer on opinion. i actully think the titles on avacodo are better then most of the other albums.
Peace, Love.

Just to bring to light another side of this discussion...
MOST (there are a handful of exceptions here) Pearl Jam songs have the song title IN the lyrics... so if you don't like the song title aren't you kind of saying you don't like a portion of the lyrics?

i think the chorus to marker in the sand is one of the best, catchiest, most uplifting things they've ever written, GREAT LYRICS....i think the verses are not great and kind of abrasive sounding and don't do justice to the chorus

I see what you're saying, but I really enjoy the juxtaposition of the aggressive verses with the soaring chorus.... Then again, I'm a HUGE fan of MITS, it's my favorite on the album for sure. To each his own eh?

its one of my favorites too, i just think the chorus is SO good it really outshines the verse, and the guitar riff in the verse is pretty lame, in my most humle opinion

I agree and how is the Avocado so terrible??? Even if it is not your favorite it is a pretty good album. It is not something that they should be ashamed of. How many of these critics on here are such spectacular people? I guess I am still trying to figure out what is so repulsive about Riot Act. These guys make great music and they are great performers. Everything they release is not going to be everyones favorite. The only thing they have to be embarassed about is Rock Around Barack.

What exactly does calling them assholes achieve? Are we die-hard satisfied assholes for liking them?
What the hell is wrong with the title "Marker in the Sand?" Why does that "take the cake."
You'll have to explain it to me. I don't think you can.
ps -- Please, please God tell me you don't think he means like a "Magic marker" in the sand ... because then you'd just be an idiot.
for the least they could possibly do
I didn't say I'd buy it!
