Did I get there first? If I didn't, feel free to delete this mods. Ahem...
As someone who thought this album was 'meh' the first few times I listened to it, then left it for a couple of years, then got back to it THISMORNING and can't stop bugging out to it, I feel I'm qualified to begin this thread.
So here beginneth the official 'I f***in' feel like talking about 'Riot Act' thread. Fire away...

the album wasnt that good.
cant keep had great momentum but went nowhere
lbc is prolly the worst song for eds singing. he sounds completely off key for most of the song. cmon that pre-chorus
bushleaguer is an overrated jumble of pollitical crap
the only songs id salvage of this piece of plastic would be 'thumbin' and 'half full' anddd maybe all or none. great mike solo there.
the rest are mostly forgettable
it is pretty evident from this album that Eddie's songbook has runneth dry.
One of my least favorite PJ CD's.
Can't wait for the new album!
Mike

someone back me here! Dammit, I took a while to write that:)
"...You try it, I give you the room, you try..."
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Save You
Love Boat Captain
1/2 Full
Thumbing My Way
I am Mine
All or None
Green Disease
You Are
All of those songs are fucking great, and they're even better live.
Anyone who disagrees will be swiftly dedacted from this mortal realm.
"...You try it, I give you the room, you try..."
You Are (especially live) - One of my favorite live PJ songs in general
Cropduster
Ghost
I Am Mine
Get Right
Save You
1/2 Full
I also love Bushleaguer live. Its ok on the album, but live it is a serious rocker with potential for a GREAT jam at the end.
Lately I've even begun to love LBC, which I didn't for a looong time.
Also the rest of the album is for the most part very good. I think this one definitely holds its own among the rest of the PJ albums.
I personally love Riot Act! If I was going to list my favs in order RA would come in at #3 Right after Vitalogy and Vs.
You Are is my favorite song on the album. It rocks on the album and live!
Can't Keep is ok. I like it enough.
Save You rocks!
Cropduster is awesome. I can't believe so many people don't like that song. :(
Get Right rocks!
Green Disease is AWESOME!
1/2 Full is AWESOME and possibly my second fav on the album.
All or None is beautiful.
Help Help is my lest favorite.
ARC is filler.
Ghost is forgetable, unfortunately. And I mean that literally. I can't remember how it goes. :( lol
Thumbin My Way is too folksie sounding for me. Too Bob Dylanish. I don't dig it. But that's just me. I can totally see why so many people like it.
Bushleager is COOL! Love it. I find myself saying HELL YEAH when I listen to it.
forgot to add Love Boat Captian. lol. That makes sense. I don't love it. lol
There... that's my opinion.
Peace and Love

Green Disease is a great rock song... Thumbing, I Am Mine are very nice.. I actually love Cropduster I know I'm in the minority on that one. You Are is fucking BADASS!!
Yeah.. I'm into this album now... not quite No Code to me but it's growing and growing and growing on me...

Absolutely agree it is way better live. I like the one on the Showbox DVD... Mike just goes off!

Yeah, the showbox 1/2 is awesome. stone solos are rare but beautiful

I want to talk about folk music: I love certain sorts of softer acousticy folk music as well as really aggrrrressive rock. What impresses me about Pearl Jam, and I'm getting to Riot Act, is that they seem to do both equally stunningly well: I mean 'Thumbing My Way' and 'All or None'? Where's the love for these two? I don't know any other bands (except for maybe Counting Crows) who do loud and soft songs which are equally classic.
