    Well, only one Riot Act song last night: Save You. At least it finally got played. Hopefully we'll get more Riot Act as the tour goes on.

    Side note, no Binaural at Chicago I last night. So fucking wierd that these two albums are getting so left out. Oh well, I know that I still love all the shows I go to, just be a little peeved if Riot Act doesn't show up.

    BUMP to that.

    Great Album, their worste, but still excellent.

    Save You is their best crazy-punk-rocker thing other than Brain of J.

    1/2 full is a great song, and the live versions are even better.

    All or None has some great vocals and is a wonderfull wonderful song.

    The rest of the album is also very good, and not really a bad song. I actually like Help Help quite a bit, for all the shit it gets.

    And the guitar tones are great.

    1/2 Full and Down make their tour debut tonight! And a second showing for I Am Mine! Not too shabby.

    Yeah, I've got a lot of love for Down as well. Such a great vibe. I heard it live for the first time last year at the Thunder Bay show and it was such a nice little surprise.

    My fiance and I were trying to compare the Avacado to any other albums, but I insisted that the new stuff was unlike any album to date, however the more I listen to Riot Act I could see songs like "you are", "save you" and "green disease" blending well with the new sounds.

    Contrary to popular opinion, I too see this album as a continuation of Riot Act. Don't get me wrong, it's better. But only thing entirely different, to me, is the album art work ;)

    Yeah I see a more of a continuation between these two albums than any other two, and yet the funny thing is a majority of people say Riot Act is the worst PJ album and this I call Avacado is the best. Funny how that is.

    Finnaly! A little Riot Act love. Hopefully I get to see 1/2 Full live, love that song! Already saw Down and I am Mine, but would be more than happy to hear 'em both again!

    I kind of here what people mean about Avacado being a continuation of Riot Act, but personally, I think the songs are more well crafted in general on Riot Act. I also like the somber tone that Riot Act has going on. The more I listen to it, the more I think that its a kind of concept album. I really love it.

    I'm still waiting on 1/2 Full too! Very cool to see LBC, Green Disease, and Thumbing all show up between the Grand Rapids and Cleveland shows though. Maybe they'll bring back Ghost for Boston -- it hasn't been played since July '03!

    I've just fallen in love with 'You Are'. I thought I didn't like this song after a few years. Stuck it in today, and I love it!? Huh? Pearl Jam why do you have to do this to me? You guys are so confusing sometimes...

    I was just listening to it today too. It's funny, about 10 seconds into the very first time I heard it I thought, "What the hell is this??" About a minute later I was head over heels. Gotta love those moments, even if they take a while sometimes. :)

    Well, was at Boston last night and it rocked! Fucking great show. Also, I was very happy to hear LBC and Green Disease cause I hadn't heard them live yet, so that was pretty sweet. I was also glad that Riot Act didn't just get skipped over. Anyway, gonna be at the show again tonight, and hopefully we can get some more Riot Act love. Maybe a little Ghost, a little You Are, a little 1/2 Full... oooooh, oh so sweet... ;)

    Well, generally I'd be a bit sad that no Riot Act was played at a show I was at (Boston II), but that show last night was so fucking killer, that there's no way I could be even remotely upset :D. I don't know if any show could top last nights for me. Just hoping now that Philly II gets lots of RA.

    Boston II was good?? I hadn't heard. :) You'll have to let us know how the boot sounds. With or without RA, this one definitely seems like a keeper. Glad you had a great time!

    So, I'm back from Philly II, and got Save You and You Are, I was really happy. Both songs sound so good live. I'd heard both before, but just wanted to hear more Riot Act, and so was really pleased with both. You Are is just such a good live song, I love it - definitely one of those hidden gems. Anyway, I'm sad I'm done for this tour, but really glad that I got to hear about 4 songs from Riot Act altogether, including two I hadn't heard before - Green Disease and LBC. Hopefully the keep some RA songs in regular rotation for the rest of the shows.

    Don't know how the boot sounds yet, but its definitely one I have to get. The show was so, so good. I couldn't believe it. Philly II though gave it a run for its money, also an amazing show. I'd say Boston II was a little better though just cause it was longer. Anyways I'm so glad I got the chance to go to three shows this tour, they were all amazing, and I can't wait till PJ comes back.
