    I think the production on Riot Act is really good. I think Ed's singing on Riot Act is bad. He sounds bored, tired and uninspiring.

    No, he sounds sad, calm and thoughtful! :)

    I meant to say sad too.. I think people don't like it Riot Act so much because it is their saddest album, where else until Backspacer, Yield was their happiest album.

    i'm gonna go ahead and sort of..disagree with you there.

    on another note,

    Help Help is a decent song after the rough start. the last half is pretty cool. Cropduster is awful adult contemporary crap.

    i wish the rest of the song was as good as the "...the moon is rolling round.." bit!

    Just like Johnny Guitar... if the whole song was as good as the last minute... wow!

    Someone said Cropduster is adult contemporary, hows that???

    I think that an awe insipiring ep lies within Riot Act,

    Can't Keep
    Cropduster
    Ghost
    In the Moonlight
    I am Mine
    All or None

    All or none is as good as either tune on Merkinball, and that was a killer little disc. Save the rest for a rarities disc down the road and go on as planned to release Avocado and Backspacer as a return to glory.

    All in all, after Binaurals excellence, Id say the good times continue despite a few rum cuts.

    Again... I'm not claiming to know better than Pearl Jam... but, why couldn't they have put songs that didn't make the 'Binaural' cut onto 'Riot Act'?
    I mean, imagine if 'Fatal', 'Sad', 'Puzzles And Games' or 'Anything In Between' replaced 'Help, Help', 'Ghost' or 'Get Right'. It would have made 'Riot Act' a better album, overall, in my opinion. There are some great songs on 'Riot Act'... Save You', 'I Am Mine', 'Thumbing My Way', 'Can't Keep', 'All or None', 'Green Disease', '1/2 Full'... 'Arc'.
    I guess it's art and I shouldn't have a say... as just some schlep that listens to it. And why they are the artists and I'm not.

    Puzzle and Games made it onto Binaural.
