I know I think Vs is a fair bit stronger than the last two, and Ten was a huge favorite of mine in the early 90s. So in that context the ratings for the last albums, are a bit high, even if they ended last.

Take the Gigaton scores with a pinch of salt. I need to fully digest that whole album on release, and even these two songs may be rated a little different.

Oh come on, Johnny Guitar is loads of fun. Goofy as hell but I have a soft spot for it.
It's not even close to being the most offensive thing in the record.

Here’s how I think the eras go...

Ten - Vs. - Vitalogy - No Code - Yield

Binaural - Riot Act

S/T - Backspacer - Lightning Bolt

The only redeeming quality about this song is I saw it live once and got my album trophy from the PJ Stat Tracker app.

The eras (broadly speaking):

Ten, Vs, Vitalogy

No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act

Self Titled, Backspacer, Lighting Bolt

Maybe Gigaton will be the start of a new era.

If only for the fact that it is nearly a decade between albums :haha:

I don't think ST belongs with BS and LB, feels very different to me.
