    I haven't posted here in a while either. I seem to be listening to Riot Act a lot lately and really admiring Eddie's vocals. That kind of depth and subtlety are why most of us fans. Otherwise, wouldn't we be more interested in the Eddie imitators?

    As much as I love their new one, this album certainly is more unique than it. You Are is fucking epic. Hearin I Am Mine on the radio in October of 2002 was also what got me into the band too, so defintiely much love for this album!

    YOU ARE and I AM MINE are two of my favorite Pearl Jam tunes. Unique is a good word. I guess that one of the fun things about Pearl Jam is that you never know quite what you're going to get when they release a new album.

    Oh my gosh, it's my old home away from home.

    Unfortunately, I have to shut down my computer now (switching jobs today), but Monday I'll try to tell you why I actually like Green Disease.

    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...
    very underarted they havent done a bad album

    If you're admitting things, I'll admit I like you are. Just because it's different.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Nothing to admit, I certainly missed you guys. I think the Yield thread is great, and the board was so much less lively without you guys. It was just some wierdos and a bunch of newbies... :p

    RockKing, I believe you were going to spill your guts on Green Disease.

    The best damn LBC I ever got to see was in Nashville '03...at the end...Ed just stopped singing and the crowd took over..."All you need...is love".

    I think he was surprised at how the crowd just took over.

    Look it up...it's a great listen.

    Even though some of the lyrics are cheesy, and it has possibly the worst title ever, that song is a seriously great song, and rocker. I'll definitely look up that one. I need to hear more live versions.

    Been listening to RA last night and this morning. There are some seriously great songs on there. People need to pay more attention. Help Help is so fucking good. And 1/2 Full, and Can't Keep, and All or None.

    yosi, me and you understand each other mate. help help is super dooper. true that, true that. i've been listening to binaural non stop yesterday and today - i'm convinced it's made of solid gold.

    Oh yeah....I forgot all about that. Sorry yosi.

    For me, Green Disease is so deliciously retro-punk sounding, that I just eat it up. That intro, when Jeff's bass hits, and then the way it just builds up to the crashing start of the verse....I think it's cool as hell and makes it one of PJ's more unique songs. Matt's simple-yet-effective drumming just drives this song the way any good punk drummer does. Jeff's bass just sounds like he pulled it out of an 80s music video.

    And lyrically, I think it's excellent here as well. I appreciate what Ed's trying to say here and the way he goes about it. It has vivid imagery and a focused point. I just think it's a solid song and is probably definitely my favorite song on Riot Act.
