The only song on this album that I really have trouble listening to is Thumbing. I can appreciate it, but I'm almost never in the right mood to listen to it. Live it was great, but whenever I put the boot on, I skip it. I just want to get to Down and that awesome version of Crazy Mary.

Ghost was my favorite song on this album for a while, and my favorite one two three is definitely Cropduster, Ghost and I am Mine. But my favorite song on the album, and has been for a while is All or None. Pure genius.

well that is a great song

1/2 full i love

Riot Act is fuckin amazing up to and including green disease.......arc is nice to listen to, and all or none is a good closer




the album is only jaded by the few songs in between

I Am Mine, Save You, Thumbing My Way, and You Are have always struck positive chords with me. Cropduster has a pretty good sound to it as well. I really like Riot Act, but it's not my favorite. However, I think it was great after Yield and Binaural which in my opinion were subpar for Pearl Jam albums.

Seeing as how we're family (Yield and its fan club are the hippie, surfer ,philosophical middle child and Riot Act and its fan club are the NYC art director with black horned rimmed glasses oldest child) our debate is purely friendly, however, I must say your claims for my memberhsip being revoked are egregious and troubling. Riot Act sounds tired, defeated, muffled, and old. Yield is all about release, expansion, and possibility. Riot Act goes against PJ's general message and vibe.

there is still a central theme running though that hooks people. Its the spiritual connection piece, the release and promise of transcendence.....their music elevates people and connects them to something bigger than themselves...i dont buy into the avant garde argument...sure, sleight of hand is good, and ghost or whatever, but i think they do that only so-so. They are at their best with songs like MITS and such.

Well mits is my favorite so no argue there. With riot act i always felt musically it was more generic rock than the others. Ed wanted to sound more educated on riot act. Kinda spoke alot of adult content and not in his same folky measage.


BUTTTTTT it was a good mix up for pj, maybee they shouldnt have made us wait so long for 8
it wasnt a bad album, especially for rock standards in general. Pj standards I can totally understand. It was their least grunge/punk/folk album to date. It just was missing that 3 chord riff stone is always bragging about allowing him to write his more in "in touch" material. And eds storytelling was not there.
Alas maybee they were fucking with us and hoping the diehards would cling more to lost dogs, and pick up more of a rock audience along the way. The knid that collect posters.

Butt it was more than adequttete for me. I like simple rock, i just like grunge/alternative more.

This is nice. Sitting back and watching our enforcer do a great job defending the honor of YIELD.

How funny would it be if Ed came on here, and started throwind down with you guys over riot act.

that would be fun to sit back and watch
