Gettin' Giggy Wit It

This one will definitely be above the bottom 3. We'll see where it lands after a few months of digesting it including having the artwork/lyrics in hand.

1. Vitalogy
2. Yield
3. Vs
4. Ten
5. Backspacer
6. Self Titled
7. Riot Act
8. No Code
9. Binaural
10. Lightning Bolt

As far as Gigaton goes I want to wait awhile until I listen to it more and see how much it sticks. Right now I'm debating on placing it at 5 or 7.

Please keep in mind that this is simply a humble suggestion for improving what is already an amazing tool!

Added back buttons to 3 of the rankers - will probably find enough time to add one to the standard ranker before the official release of this sucker. Probably bugged!

I really like Backspacer. It sounds like the band really enjoyed making it. All of the songs sound like the guys were having a lot of fun.

How are the first 5 clear cut above binaural and riot act musically?

It's the songwriting for me. For others (that is, those who would agree) maybe it's Cameron or Ed.

I’m shocked to be rating a PJ album this high so late in the game. Recency bias is very possibly a factor. It does feel after 10 spins like it’s falling into place. The production is excellent and production has sunk many of PJ’s late career albums. The sound is cohesive. There is a flow from song to song and section to section. It feels of a whole. There’s a top drawer song for the first time since Yield (21 years). There is a lot to like and some to really, really like.

Yes, definitely. However, unlike a few recent albums that shall remain nameless, I’m not anticipating a divorce due to irreconcilable differences.

sure - but layered and textured albums often rise in people’s esteem as well

I’m getting uncomfortable thinking about how high this album could be ranked. I fucking love it. I truly think it’s great. What the hell does that actually mean?
