Yes? Not sure this is up for debate, but let's discuss this underplayed amazing album.   

It is definitely the album I have seen least live. Which one of you lucky fanatics got to see Get Right live? And will we ever see it live again?

    Yes. And I'm like the only person who loves that song. Especially the bridge with the wah wah pedal.

    I really like the somewhat seemingly intentional awkwardness vibe I get from riot act.
    It works.
    I haven't listened to much pj lately. Might have to bust this one out.

    Eh. Thing is, if you look into PJ themes, you could say each album has a spooky, scary, skeleton vibe. After all, their color scheme is black, red, yellow... which is the devil's colors. 

    I mean, I get it. You have a song named "Ghost" on Riot Act. 

    HOWEVER... you have other albums that incorporate themes of murder, incest, Satan, etc...

    Yes. I never knew about the incest connections. Just read a book Lightning Strikes by Lenny Kaye. Was  a brief chapter including pj and the Washington scene. Not sure how accurate the author's info is.

    Good thread OP.

    For sure.  It always seemed spooky to me.  And the cover art's got skeletons.

    I feel like Vitology is a solid spooky vibe.  Finally got to see Satan's Bed live last year.

    It’s a toss up between RA and Binaural for my money…

    Both have always “felt” moody and fall’ish for me.

    To your point, I almost titled this thread Binaural is the most Halloween PJ album. But went with Riot Act.
