Riot Act: Official Album Thread

[mikejasond]

I mean theres some pretty rapey stuff on Appetite

"Ya get nothin' for nothin'
If that's what ya do
Turn around bitch I got a use for you
Besides you ain't got nothin' better to do
And I'm bored"

Pretty awful.

But while I dont like their themes, the sound of the music is so dang good and Slash is incredilbe <_<.

But thats also why my favorite GNR album is probably Use your Illusion II

Estranged <3

[koopee27]

Help Help is awesome and Habit is pretty bad.

i like that

Help Help > Habit

Most songs are > Habit

I never thought we'd agree on anything.

This is a great post. Officially. I mean, my gut reaction is to post the John Goodman rage gif. But...

Help Help and Habit are of equal quality. Both are fuckin' excellent.

Can we all just stop to appreciate how good 1/2 Full is live?

Love Boat Captain may be the best song on the album.

[guestT]

Love Boat Captain may be the best song on the album.

"...to the universe i don't mean a thing..." into the solo always gets me

[LetMeSleep]

The sequencing of the first 6 tracks is great. Then it's a bit of a mess. Good material just shambolic sequencing.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Love Boat Captain may be the best song on the album.

You probably haven't listened to Get Right, Cropduster, or Ghost yet. Do that and report back.

after "you are" is when it starts to feel a bit more scattershot to me

Thumbing is a chore for me. Matt phones it in. Ed is mediocre. It's the start of Ed songs that don't belong in PJ.

it's not a favorite of mine either, but i like it as a palate cleanser/transition into side B

[Monkey_Driven]

Thumbing My Way is vital to the album.

Undone would be two and down six or seven if I included them.

7-14 are all fairly close, and a large step back from 1-6
