Pilate is better than Given to Fly.

Low Light is the worst song on Yield.

Definitely "MFC" for me, which isn't even a bad song. It's just that Yield is a very good album. ("Low Light" and "In Hiding" are among the few PJ songs I still feel compelled to listen to from time to time)

MFC is definitely 2nd in line, though. It gets by on vibes.

Thank You. Bottom of the barrel PJ track for me, have never understood the love for it.

Pilate is one of the few times PJ have done unapologetically "weird / obscure" (lyrically) whilst also being very inviting / accessible musically

the bridge is sublimely beautiful, chord progressions and melody all, one of their best

Saw its live debut, which would have been cool if I didn’t fucking hate it.

Pilate is garbage. Thankfully, they didn't force it into setlists much.

My brothers. The first time I saw it was at The Gorge in ‘05. Jeff’s background vocals sound like a cat getting its tail stepped on.

I'll probably get crucified, but I currently find the weak link on Yield to be "All Those Yesterdays." I like it plenty, just less than everything else. "Pilate" is wonderfully oblong, and always a delight when I listen to the album. "Low Light" is sweet, but a little simple; a minor song on an album that has some real giants.

Wishlist kills this album. Then MFC stabs the corpse. Then Low Light shits in its mouth. And In Hiding sets the whole mess alight.

That's our essence at RM. Every discussion in PJ chat eventually pans out to ranking and squabbling if it lasts long enough. It's like a gathering with extended family.
