Not just any closet. The darkest closet. Trying to figure out just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass out this house...
I’m in the closet, like man, what the fuck is going on? You’re not gonna believe it but things get deeper as the story goes on.
He looks at the closet. I pull out my Baretta.

He walks up to the closet.

He goes up to the closet.

Now he’s at the closet.

Damn he’s opening the closet…

I won't lie, the turn this conversation has taken convinced me to put on Ignition, and my afternoon just got a lot better.

I don't really listen to R. Kelly I just love that whole Trapped in the Closet thing.

Yeah, Trapped in the Closet is pretty amazing. I only know his handful of hits, but they bring back some good memories of debauchery.

No Code is a lot of people's favourite. I know that. I happen to think it is down to nostalgia for a lot of people, not necessarily people on RM. Just saying it out loud but qualifying it as my opinion shouldn't ruffle any feathers. Vitalogy is my favourite album. No Code was my biggest disappointment. I rarely, if ever, can manage to listen to that album the whole way through. Aside from the three songs I mentioned, Red Mosquito is probably the only one which does anything for me. I just don't like the songs. I don't care how 'experimental' or 'creative' they are if I don't like them. Long Road and I Got Shit (from the same era) are better for me than most of the tracks on No Code.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.

No Code isn't in my top 3 but this is madness. The run of tracks 1-6 is top form. Nearly a five star album and not even close to thir best. Wow.

What a fucking single. They should have written and recorded a whole album of PJ songs with Neil instead of just these 2.

Cut Habit, I'm Open and Mankind from No Code and it's my favorite Pearl Jam album, and maybe the best album of the 90s.

No Code is my favorite PJ album, and the fact I'm here speaks to my PJ fandom, but OK Computer wins Album of the 90s, even if I might not like to admit it.

I wouldn't cut any of the songs, but a little rearranging would be good. I hate the transitions from Lukin -> PT -> Mankind. Bad flow.

"Habit" is a fantastic song that belongs in No Code. No Code is by far my favorite Pearl Jam album. It's not the best album of the 90s.
