    I'm worried to buy Era Vulgaris it seems to be bottom feeder on most lists...than again that's where most would find Riot Act on a Pearl Jam list and that's actually my favorite album :)

    Its not bad, just maybe not as complete as the others. The first side of the alum isnt stellar in my opinion. However, the second half is excellent. Battery Acid through Run, Pig, Run are all great songs.

    I think it's a really good album (FWIW, Riot Act and Binaural are my two favorite PJ albums, lol!). And actually it's also one of their best sounding records. I think Era Vulgaris is better than their self-titled album. S/T is good, but IMO it is their more boring album. Era Vulgaris is way more interesting to my ears. Era Vulgaris might also beat songs for the deaf for me, only because, while I really love the songs on it, I really can't stand the radio bits. Anyway, if you like QOTSA, I don't think there is any album you should be avoiding - they're all super good. :)

    My ranking would be:

    ... Like Clockwork
    Lullabies to Paralyze
    Rated R (But the reissued vinyl is SHIT)
    Era Vulgaris
    Songs For the Deaf (only ranked lower because of the radio crap - otherwise it would be 3rd)
    QOTSA

    I am also dying to see them live! But I heard rumours they'd be working on an album this year, so not sure about a tour until that's done.

    I love the packaging of Era Vulgaris too, it comes in 10 inch format :) God, and I also would love to see them live again. In the meantime, the Post Pop Depression gig will hold me over :smiley:
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    I think it will be a while before Queens puts out new music and tours. Josh, Dean, and Troy will be touring with Iggy Pop this year.
    I met Dean at the Dead Weather's album listening party at the end of August last year. He said that QOTSA was going back into rehearsals the next day (9/1) for their show in Rio and also the LA surprise gig before that. He also mentioned that QOTSA was going to start working on an album. However, I don't know how imminent that was, especially when Josh closed their 2014 Halloween gig in LA by saying "See you in a few years..."
    They're one of my favorite bands and I'd love to see them again sooner rather than later. That surprise show at the Teragram absolutely ripped. It was far and away my favorite show of 2015 and will have to tide me over until they return.
    In the mean time, hope I can score Post Pop Depression tix before I head to NYC.

    I do still think they'll start working on an album this year no mater What the Iggy Pop schedule is ... meaning it would be out in 2017 probably.

    Just ordered Lullabies to Paralyze and Them Crooked Vultures on vinyl. Never heard a song from either but really like Like cCockwork, Songs for Deaf and Rated R alot. Looks like S/T and Era Vulgaris are getting repressed soon.

    S/T was already reissued in 2011. Pretty sure I got that for under $30 on Amazon a couple of years ago. Still available. And the original pressing of Era Vulgaris is still on Amazon for under $30. I grabbed one new in a record store last year, again for under $30. Maybe they're reissuing that one, but I don't see why they would bother yet....
