I’ve always loved Binaural. Top three album for me. RA is a bit more uneven, but I have found plenty to love there over the years.

Backspacer came out at the perfect time in my life. I was ripped, pussy on tap, six figure salary. I used to blast Supersonic before a night on the town with my boys. Backspacer is the best party album ever.

When they came out everyone hated them. With fury. Specially Binaural. So yeah, no.
So....yes? They hated them but then they got so bored of all the good albums, they began to like Binaural and Riot Act because it was fresh since they had worn out all the good material
yea its like when tou've listened toGNR so much that you hear Welcome to the Jungle and you're like ehhhhhh but then you listen to Get In the Ring and you're like O_O
This really made me laugh.

Can't Keep won the Riot Act March Madness tournament ahead of Cropduster. Well deserved. But I'm a bit surprised to see they are now both struggling to stay in the main tournament, when the songs from the albums ahead of them have a lot less votes. And I thought Riot Act was really popular around here.

Why didn't they just add the 3 b-sides and release this as a double album? 15 tracks is too long long for a single album. Should've been two 9-song albums like Ryan Adams' Cold Roses.

This is one of the coolest sounding songs Pearl Jam ever made. And this is probably the best performance. This is the band I love with all of my heart.

Just once, at a show show I’m at, I want them to to play ALL the PJ songs Matt has written. God, that would be amazing.

I can't see the band pulling this off without weeks of practice. But yes, it would be awesome.
