Just buy Vitalogy and listen to nothing else for like a year. Maybe two or three.

But I like Avocado better.

Wait.....what?

It was all worth it - just for that GIF!

there is a lot of great stuff on Avocado. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Having said that, Vitalogy is pretty much the greatest album ever by anyone

I thought Jorge said we could mold this one. Four pages and he's off the deep end. We've lost him. Gone.

[music.for.rhinos]

Off he goes..

[PHATJ]

And don't listen to the crap thrown around here about Backspacer - it's actually alright!

Stop it.

I think I am going to buy them all plus the Blu-ray set.

[Norah]

Just steal them from the Internet. It's easier.

Inside job > immortality
I think we'd all agree. No?

I believe in actually owning albums, no offense to people that do that though.

[Lament]

Unless you can get a copy of Sevens, your whole endeavor is pretty pointless.

On my first listens Riot Act and Binaural are their most polarizing albums IMO.

[Norah]

That's only because some people are idiots.

[stip]

agreed

I loved Binaural and Riot Act from the get go. When Binaural came out I really wasn't listening to a lot of Pearl Jam for the first time since I got into them because I had played the first five records absolutely into the ground over the previous six years. Binaural single-handedly kept my Pearl Jam fandom on fire during what otherwise would have been a dormant time for me if it hadn't been such a good record. That album probably accounted for 75% of my Pearl Jam listening from May of 2000 till well into 2002 (the rest of it was probably Vitalogy).

Riot Act was just so perfect for the time and place, at least for me. I remember fans panning it at the time and it seemed like a lot of people got off of the train at that point, but I played it pretty consistently until Lost Dogs came out. It was a huge staple of late fall/winter 2002/2003 for me. Lots of memories of walking around campus on gray, rainy/snowy days and listening to that record. I was pretty fatigued with life and the world and just about everything out there, and that album seemed to match my mood perfectly. I have some really vivid memories of Thumbing My Way, All or None, Cropduster, I Am Mine, Ghost, and Can't Keep playing while freezing my ass off and mastering the art of being anti-social in Maryland.
