    I like I Am Mine, Green Disease is cool live. Save You is tolerable, but it would have been better if he sang it like he did on Brain of J (instead of sounding like he just woke up). Thumbing My Way is like the most boring song ever written, yet people get all Jamily over it.
    HAhaha, funny ass thread dude. Not sure how I missed this one back in February.

    Love your use of the word Jamily. :mrgreen:

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

    Pearl Jam to re-release the "riot act" album in 2009

    Seattle, WA - February 3, 2009 - In celebration of the 11th anniversary of the release of what most sane people consider to be Pearl Jam's best album, YIELD, the band wishes to rectify it's lone horrid blemish in what has been an otherwise stellar discography.

    In 2009, Pearl Jam will re-release the much-maligned album riot act in a "far superior form," say sources close to the band. Guitarist Stone Gossard said, "Although the band liked the album at the time, we realize now that it just flat out sucks. For anyone who actually wasted 3 minutes of their life to listen to Get Right and its horrid chorus - we are so sorry. We owe you something."

    But, how will they improve the album if it's so horrible? Lead vocalist Ed Vedder explained, "Ummmm, well, there's a saying that I'm fond of - 'You can't shine shit - you just have to clean it up.' Um, that applies here. There's no way to improve songs like Get Right or Ghost. The album has Help, Help on it, for crying out loud. How in the hell do you fix that? Those songs make Sweet Lew sound like Stairway to Heaven, and we're just now realizing it. Umm."

    Vedder continued, "Therefore, we are re-releasing the album as a blank CD with no music on it at all. People can put on the re-release of the 7th album, and just enjoy the silence and the artwork (which is still pretty cool). For the first 50 copies purchased, Stone will do your taxes. It was his fault anyway."

    Wow really? I would have a hard time picking a "bottom" studio album (ok, avo) but I still like Yield. The record does lose it's way from tracks 8-11, but then Push Me, Pull Me and All Those Yesterdays (and Endless, Hummus) redeem it.

    Ummh...Actually "Get Right" rocks. Just listen to those guitars and forget the lyrics. One of the best songs on that album along with "I Am Mine". Other than that, the album lacks something.

    OUCH!

    I actually really enjoy Riot Act, certainly not their best work, but solid all around. I like it alot more than Self-Titles. As for Binaural, that is still one of my favorite PJ albums, I LOVE it!

    I think I am one of the few that thinks Yield is a bit overrated... Yield & Self-Titled are the 2 albums that get very little play from me.

    All decent albums though!

    "sucks" is rude.


    It's strange to read these threads because I see Pearl Jam's music as a whole body of work. Maybe it's because of the live shows and how they mix it up from all the albums but I just don't compartmentalize it by album.

    And I'm sooo glad I do it my way. :D

    Because it's funny and not everyone likes every album. It's better than reading threads about Ed's white pants or Ed's hairstyles.

GFet with the program, who wants to hear evenflow and why go? Cant keep is a better opening song than release. Cant keep is the real deal!!!!!!!! Also, Dont forget all or none. Much better song than release.

    sounds like your usual klausen... $500 for nothing (special) :lol:

    nice thread fanch... should be interesting to see the actual reissue if they ever do it... i kindof doubt they will


    Sure they will. They can take off all the crappy songs, leave the good ones on, and add back all the outtakes and we'd wind up with what? 5 songs?
