    Binaural is cool, Evacuation aside. It's Riot Act that doesn't do it for me, with the exception of a few songs.

    I don't think B sides should be in the discussion. Of album tracks, "Bugs" is in a class of its own. Of album tracks that are meant to be taken seriously, I think "Habit" is the nadir.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    nothing as it seems

    On a side note, There are a bunch of songs on the riot act album that i don't like. Just can't think of them because I haven't listened to the album in a long time.

    Exactly. Nothing as it Seems is waaaaaaay the hell out there.

    I remember someone in the music press writing that any other band could have built an entire career around a song as good as "Nothing As It Seems" yet, when Pearl Jam released it as a single, it was met with yawns. (The point being that Pearl Jam gets taken for granted.)

    I think it's a compelling song musically, but the lyrics are a little obtuse. By and large, lyric-writing should be left to Ed. What's funny is that Jeff's lyrical masterpiece, "Other Side," didn't make it onto an album.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    um... why has no one said 'just breathe' yet? the only time i would ever sit through it is if it was at a show or *maybe* on the radio

    Because it's a very powerful, poignant and beautiful song? I actually think it's a bad fit when they play it live in an arena but, on the record, it's fantastic.

    Who You Are. Just never got into it.

    Although when they did it at WPB 08, I gotta admit it sounded good.

    wow lot of hate toward Parachutes! We're actually using that for our first dance at our wedding. I picked it, the to-be husband went along with it. Its sing-song-y, sort of sweet. Not typical Pearl Jam, I like how all their stuff doesn't sound the same.

    Not a fan of EVACUATION!!!! (thank you all for agreeing with me on this). There's a song on Yield called... Pilot I believe? " Like Pilot I have a dog!!!" wtf? didn't work for me. I love that album though.

    ps: last song at the reception is going to be Yellow Ledbetter. I figure, MSG 2 was awesome, and it ended with Yellow Ledbetter, so should my wedding, cause it'll be awesome too :p

    The songs I dislike are-Help Help, Mankind, Sweet Lew, Gremmie Out Of Control, Whale Song, Around the Bend (I just can't ge into this song! I've tried time and time again... I feel lucky I haven't seen it yet in my 18 times! I think it would be a show killer but that's just my humble opinion!)


    I like Evacuation and almost all of Riot Act...


    to each their own! Rock n Roll Cheers,

    A few lost dogs aren't my cup of tea, likewise a few Xmas single tracks but album songs, even the daft little ones like Pry To, Aye Davanita, Red Dot etc pretty much float my boat too. Riot Act once my least favourite album is now one where I can't see what I didn't like? At a push I'd say Big Wave, Marker In The Sand. But... the loser by a country mile is....... SPEED OF SOUND! Wretched sounds I never thought I'd hear. I even prefer the song of the same name by Coldplay. :(
