 full disclosure - my first PJ show was in ‘09 just before BS came out, so hit at a time when i was more into PJ than i had been since Yield first came out. I have a soft spot for that one simply for the memory of that first show and the months following when i listend to nothing but PJ for three months0

            I cant rank yet with this new album. I will just say this...it's definitely the best first listen of an album I maybe have ever had.
 Yield No Code Vitalogy and Ten are still probably higher. Maybe. This is the best one since Yield. After 2000 though... Binaural is tough to beat. But this one feels more epic.Turn this anger into

 very possible for DM to climb up above Avacado, Riot Act is in my top 4 overall and very unlikely to be overtaken.Worth noting, I absolutely love LB but something had to be last.0

            Not sure where it's going to fall at this point, but DM seems destined to be in the 1st tier of post-2000.albums along with Avocado, Binaural, and Gigaton.0

 This seems right, though I'm only half way through my first listen to DM. I know I've never listened to either of the last 3 on the list once I was done seeing shows for that tour. Hope that isn't the case for DM, but we'll see. I play the first 2 semi regularly, which is like once or twice a year.logan5ive said:
