Where does Lightning Bolt rank for you?
Is anyone ready to put Lightning Bolt into their ranking order of Pearl Jam's albums?
I can rarely, if ever, settle on my order, but the same albums generally occupy the same echelons.
I'm not sure I'm ready to put LB into my order...are you?

I usually need a live show, and a few months to pass before I can do that.
(I see this being up there, though.)

Ask me again tomorrow though and it will surely be different.
I almost consider all of them equal except for Backspacer.

I'm really not sure where I can put it. I have a strange sense of loyalty to older albums and, in turn, don't like to downgrade the latest one!
Right now, my album order would be (without strict numbering):
Top bracket: Yield, Ten, vs.
Second tier: Vitalogy, No Code.
Third tier: Riot Act, Pearl Jam, Binaural, Backspacer.
I suspect LB will slot into the third tier in time.

Once I saw them broken down in my list I realized that my favorites list can be broken down by eras. Hopefully their next one breaks that streak and cracks the top 5 (hi expectations, I know, but I'm trying to be optimistic).
PJ * 10/21/00 - Phx * 6/7/03 - Phx * 6/29/06 - Milwaukee * 6/30/06 - Milwaukee * 11/19/13 - Phx *
EV * 11/4/12 - Phx, AZ *
Having listened to it about twenty times now and subsequently listened to the others too, there's no way it can compete with Ten, vs, Vitalogy, No Code, Yield and Pearl Jam for me. I don't think it comes close to Riot Act really either. Binaural isn't in the top bracket for me either, but I'm pretty sure that isn't under threat either. I thought it could push that and Backspacer, but it hasn't so far.
So I think Lightning Bolt is going to be ranked for me as tenth and bottom.
But I do like it

I prefer Backspacer as an album right now as I think it flows better and makes more sense as an album.
Binaural is always quite low for me and I think this suffers the same thing as that album - it lacks the real stand out tracks that the others have alongside the solid tracks.

This is exactly how I feel.
I do like the record too...It has some completely new sounds in a few places, but there's just no epic stand-outs yet. But im only on my 3rd listen.
I always regard No Code as my #1 and I listened to it last night all the way through. When I got to Mankind, I'm Open, and Around the Bend I thought to myself, I usually skip these. I don't have any right now I skip with LB.
