Put RA in for the first time in a while yesterday. I got into PJ a lot last year, and bought all the albums in quick succession, and yet Riot Act was the one I kept coming back to. I can remember reading thru the booklet when eating my cereal after getting home from school, and I looked at the picture on the inside of the cd cover and I thought "I want to be in that room!". That room just looks so warm and welcoming.
I neglected Vitalogy, Ten and Binaural in favour of RA. There are some great songs on here. Thumbing, I Am Mine, You Are, LBC, Can't Keep (what a gem!!), Save You and my personal favourite, All or None. The album has its filler, and Otherside and Down would have made great additions, but it is what it is and I love it for it. RIOT ACT BABY!!

Nice!!! me too!! is the record that made me a fan!! such a great and underrated album!!

This was the record that really brought me back into full swing. Well, that and the tour for this album. So FUCKING GOOD!

I know I am going to get hell for this, but I really think this ONE album sucked. There might be one song I liked if I can remember correctly but I never listen to it anymore. I tried so hard to get into it when it came out but never made a bond. And I have every single cd and single and VHS tape and DVD. I am a true true fan. When all my friends were turning on Vitalogy I stuck by them. One of my favorites by the way. But Riot Act and Binaural I passed on. Loved the new one by the way. Please don't give me too much hell, remember it is just MY oppinion and hey if you like it great. These guys rock and have been my favorite band since the grunge started. I am going to duck now!

I just think you're a jerk for posting in this thread. Its fine if you don't like Riot Act, I don't care (you just have not taste ). But its a really uncool thing to do, and bad etiquette, to come into a thread that's about sharing the love of an album, and bashing it. Please only post here if you have something positive to say about RA.


Riot Act is awesome.

Well if you really look at what you are saying, its not that the album sucked.
It is that you wanted the band to stay the on the same course.
Regardless how differant you think vitalogy, no code, or yield are, and that replies to everyone, is they still had all the elemnts of a pearl jam album, they had traditional grunge chord tuning, and eds folky slow sound , yes they have their moments of differance as opposed to ten and vs but you still know its them.
Ed is very diferant on riot act and binaurul is a total differant sound and scheme.
The reason i let some fans get away with riot act bashing is , the band and ed were not totally on the same page. Ed was hanging around with diferant people and really changing during this record, it was like he was looking for a more educated approach, when maybee deep down inside he was still the same ed, i dont know but the music has a more basic generic feel to it comppared to other albums, in which eds voice stood out a lil clearer.
I guess a more less grunge approach than the others except for binaurul,
I loved riot act, it was easy to listen too musically and maybee that was to get eds measages acroos easier, his words are easier to understand,.
Progress is what you want in a band, you should not expect a band to go balls to the wall every record and produce emotional grunge/ pnuk tunes every record. It will hinder their songwriting ability.
Binaurul is a great mix up for the band also, these 2 albums stand on their own musically and are a great change up.
Avacodo is great too, but cmon it has more roots in it than a tree. Beside the last 2 songs this album is recycled pearl jam done supper classy, we needed this record aftert the last two, and it just proved how far they had grown on the last 2 records.
Yes a lot of avocado sounds like old school, but the singing, harmonizing, drumming, timing overall product is crafted better, and i believe they ended up here from the last 2 records.
IF Avacado came out after yield the band would have been acused of not progressing and staying stale.

Riot act and binaurul musically are great albums, just because they are not yield and avacodo does not make them suck it makes the fans that think that way narrowminded, and i dont mean that sarcastically, i have been listening to avacodo for 5 months straight, i can be very narrowminded at times, i just try my hardest to treat pealr jam like every other good band out there.

Hey I knew I was going to catch hell but your just a bitch - mean. My oppion can be posted any where on this site because it is a site for oppions to be aired. So get the stick out of your ass and enjoy riot act if you feel it. I don't, but I wouldn't get on you for liking it. Man what an immature bitch you are.

Actually, I consider someone to be an asshole when they come into a conversation about really enjoying something, and then totally ripping on it. This is exactly what you did. Plain rude. Like I said, I don't care what your opinion is, but don't yuck my yum. I don't post in the Yield thread saying that I hate Yield (I don't hate it, just making a point). So you can name call all you want. You still acted like a jerk, and you even knew it because you said yourself, you "were gonna get hell". Thus implying that you knew you were acting like an asshole.

Soundchecked but not played the last two shows?! I've been hoping all tour that it would show up somewhere, anywhere! Such a great song that deserves to be played.

I saw that Bologna setlist too! Bushleaguer is always a nice surprise. We got it here at the St. Paul '03 show, one of the first times it was played after the whole Denver thing. Stellar version of it too!

save you fuckers

that is a great fall song

On the official PJ website, in the goods section.....

I wonder why they still have the Riot Act vinyl there, when it is 'out of stock'.
