    Riot Act is an amazing, amazing piece of art.
    SUCH an amazing song. i got chills just from reading that quote. i was really expecting to hear that last year at mansfield 2 with it being 6/30 and all.
    gawd i wish i was home so i can spin that record again....
    Have you heard the molo sessions version?
    no i haven't, i kind of forgot about that album actually... i remember when it came out and i decided not to buy it because it didn't have enough pearl jam songs on it. i was a real idiot back when i was a kid :lol:

    Ok. You're in for a treat. I'm excited for you right now! Go to this site:
    http://www.gremmie.net/bsides/b-sides/
    In a blue drop down menu you'll see "molo sessions"
    Enjoy the best version of LBC ever!
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    Riot Act fuckin' rules.

    The last good album this band has made (up to this point).

    Agree..
    I often talk shit about Avocado, so I will not miss this opportunity to say it again: Riot Act is a fuckin' good album, Avocado is simply embarassing..
    They both sound better live than studio, anyway..


    Are you serious? Wow, I think saying Riot Act is a masterpiece and Avacoda is an embarrasment is like denying the holocaust, just plain lunacy. Riot Act=too much fucking organ. I still think it is a good record, but the band's weakest effort. The three best songs were the three b-sides. But as soon as I get home from work i am going to put in Riot Act just for you guys and see if maybe I can see what you are seeing.

    i don't really care for down, and i don't think either of them really fit in with the other songs in riot act, IMO. maybe undone lyrically, but that's about it. i dunno, i really love that album. but perhaps you're right about the organ, i don't really care much for boom either... and weakest effort? nah.

    Take away Bushelaguer and it would be a perfect album (even though I love how BL sounds and the chorus it's dated now). It's really great. I have never liked Down and would not want it replace any song on the album.

    Have you ever heard HELP HELP live? It's like the greatest live-gem they for some reason won't place.

    But yeah. I think Riot Act is my favourite PJ album, maybe second to Binaural. I guess I'm kind of alone thinking that though :)

    Nah Riot Act, Binural and Yield are probably my three favorties. And i think thumbing my way fits in with the entire vibe of riot act. it's also a fairly dark and mysterious song. Help, Help, get right, all or none, ghost are all awesome songs

    I am always amazed by how people can pick their "favorite" album ... whenever I try, I so easily talk myself out of the choice because "that other" album is just sooooo good too ... i just love'em all :D

    If it weren't for that damn Yield album I might say that Riot Act if their smartest album. It's dark, sad, emotional, and confusing. Let's remember how our nation was at that time... I think a lot of people don't understand Riot Act because I don' t think the band itself really understood how to make a record in those times. What they created echoed a lot of our thoughts and fears. It's six, musical geniuses trying to speak through music at a time when no one really knew what to say. To me, it's further proof that Mr. Vedder is not only one of the greatest musicians of our time, but one of the greatest writers period. THe lyrics for Can't Keep, and LBC are pure poetry. Gut wrenching poetry.

    ok but what about when he pleads "won't someone save the world?" at the end of half full? that, to me, is gut wrenching. and all or none especially "to myself i surrender to the one i'll never please". oh goodness don't get me started on this album i'll be here all day and its too late at night for it :lol:
