I disagree with your first two points. But I agree with your last two. Riot Act is my second favorite PJ album and I think it's actually more consistent than Vitalogy (which I have at #1). Vitalogy just has some all time classic songs on it. Riot Act lacks that. It's consistent and it's cohesive as fuck, but it lacks that stand alone monster track.

nothing on it blows me away
I strongly believe that it has a unique quality, in that gets better when you listen to it, sort of the opposite of the pramg albums. That goes for both the lyrics and the music. Which are your top three Riot Act songs?

And they say that a hero could save us

Nice. I'm not a big fan of Ghost, but love the other two.

How about All Or None?

It's a hopeless... situation
And I'm starting to believe
That this hopeless... situation
Is what I'm trying to achieve

Here's the selfless confession
Leading me back to war
Can we help that,.. our destinations
Are the ones we've been before

To myself I... surrender
To the one I'll never please

I still try,.. to run on
But it's
All or none

i'm going to give riot act a listen tomorrow at work and i'll report back

Get Right and Help, Help are among my least favorite PJ songs, Ghost and Bushleaguer are so so. I like Cropduster and Green Disease, although they are not PJ standouts. Arc Is great, but it is what it is. Still leaves a solid bunch of songs I love.

Surprised you don't think Ed had some weak moments. It's all in the ears of the receiver I guess.

Difficult to rank the albums, but No Code is number one.

Help Help is wonderful and Cropduster is definitely a PJ standout.
