Let's stay on topic. Not necessarily enjoyable, but definitely a top-notch quality release from a band who's been around as long as Pearl Jam. And my argument is that the difference is effort. Because we know Pearl Jam has it in 'em, which makes it that much more insulting.
Do we know they have it in them, though? The last good thing I've heard is Cold Confession/Let it Ride, and weren't they from ST sessions?
Everyone in their right minds love RA tons more than S/T but how is s/t more of a money grab? S/t wasnt much of a money grab reall, was it? Green Disease is even more in that direction than Gone, slightly anyway?
I pledge to be 100% boring and never troll-out again. I will make my interactions here pleasant, like sitting through an agricultural economics class.

S/T is much better than Riot Act
I go back and forth on these two.
I’m very fond of the high points of both and would be happy to never hear their respective low points again.
