Riot Act: Official Album Thread

[liebzz]

Decided to go to the ranker today. There's always margin for error in those in-the-moment judgements, but...

Can't Keep
Save You
Cropduster
Ghost
Help Help
1/2 Full
Love Boat Captain
You Are
All Or None
Green Disease
I Am Mine
Thumbing My Way
Bu$hleaguer
Get Right
Arc

I feel like that would be a good track order for the album. Probably flows nicely.

[epilogue]

This album is so goddamn good.

[dad]

you're goddamn right it is.

[epilogue]

you're goddamn right it is.

I always go back and forth between this one and Vitalogy as my favorite PJ album.

Vitalogy has 5 songs that are legit arguably the best song in the PJ catalog, which is incredible. And that's why I often rank it #1. But RA is still the one I pick up most often. And I never skip a single track on it. Unlike Vitalogy, which has a couple songs I can skip and a closer that I almost never listen to.

I don't know. Why is it so hard to just say RA is my favorite???

saw it again. saw it in half, and listen to your favorite half first, then your second favorite.

[liebzz]

I haven’t listened to this album in a while - since the last Pearl Jam journey. I’m overdue.

Cropduster, guys. Cropduster

[Ms Harmless]

e.g. "Alive", which is more or less the same tempo and has so much opportunity for interesting pauses, accents, backbeats, and these straight gunshot fills make it sound so bland

matt's fills going into the "is something wrong she said..." bridge are some of his best moments.

I respectfully disagree

[epilogue]

Cropduster, guys. Cropduster

Second best song on the record.

[wease]

YOU GODDAMN TAKE THAT BACK!

[EJ]

finally saw the Chop Suey "You Are." Damn, that was a great version. Mike's work on that outtro was amazing. Nice to see the young fellas.

The man they call my enemy, I've seen his eyes, he looks just like me

[VinylGuy]

im watching all of those chop suey

great sessions. Love Boat Captain is awesome.

[VinylGuy]

Save You from this sessions is much better than the studio version because Ed is not that restrained and down

[dad]

man, that version of You Are is very good.

i would even go so far as to say it is sick.
