    They should do all their music videos on 35mm like the Riot Act videos.

    My idiotic bootleg claim to fame, you can hear me yell "go Stone" just prior to Ed beginning the first verse.

    Last year my wife and I went on a 2 day drive and listened to all of the cd's in order. Riot Act was the one that hit me the hardest. I think because that was the one that I never fully appreciated until now. I think I better appreciate the theme and mood of the songs now.

    I missed Binaural some how when it was released (love the album now) and kind of swayed away from Pearl Jam after Yield for a handful of years. I remember driving to my aunts house one day for supper through some winding roads and having the local radio station on. A Pearl Jam song was on that I never heard before. Love Boat Captain. It turned out the station was playing the new yet to be released RA album front to back. I listened to the whole thing taking my time getting to my destination and it just pulled me back into listening to Pearl Jam again. Some favourites in no order.

    Love Boat Captain
    Save You 
    Thumbing
    All or None (best song they have made aside from Parting Ways in the 2000's imo) 
    Green Disease 
    Ghost 
    You are

    I like Backspacer but i can almost agree with this.  It was just still a previous era for the band.  More immediate.

    I walked 5 miles in sleet and freezing rain to buy this CD. It was my freshman year in college and freshman weren't allowed to have cars on campus. So off on foot I went...

    Edit: Apparently I already made this comment in 2014 on Riot Act's birthday.

    Riot Act will always be my second favorite album, after my first which is (unsurprisingly) my username.
    I got Riot Act tattoos for my 18th birthday last year because I wanted my first Pearl Jam tattoo to be symbolic of the post-9/11 era of the band that I grew up with, as opposed to the stickman that a lot of older fans have.

    This album is also super nostalgic for me because it reminds me of the long summer afternoon drives on i-70 that I’d take every weekend to see my sister who lived a few hours away. For some reason this record is just perfect for a long interstate trip. Maybe it’s the yellow hues on the cover?
