Good message, boring song.

lol come on now

I like the song and I appreciate that it can take on an extra poignancy considering the current climate but "THIS IS the WRONG TIME to DISS A SONG YOU DON'T LIKE" is a bad bad take

I was referring more to how powerful it is in the moment. Diss away!

WMA has a great bass line, and sort of takes a different vibe and focus to add some range to an album that could sound very same-y without it. Go, Animal, Glorified G, Dissident, Rearviewmirror... a lot of big rock songs that need something other than a ballad to balance it out. WMA more than fits the bill, much in the way Oceans served to rectify a similar scenario in Ten. It even in a sense serves as a palate cleanser so the songs don’t run together. It’s what the album needs. Daughter and Small Town are slower songs but aren’t as effective at doing this as WMA.

I think that's the first time I've ranked Yield over No Code but it's how I'm feeling right now

You've probably expounded on it before, but tell us what it is about Riot Act that ranks fourth for you.

After listening to the entire catalogue in the last few days:

Yield
Vs
Vitalogy
No Code
Ten
Binaural
Gigaton
Riot Act
Avocado
Backspacer
Lightning Bolt

Recently, it's probably this:

Yield
Vitalogy
Binaural
Vs.
Riot Act
No Code
Gigaton
Ten
Avocado
Lightning Bolt
Backspacer

I waited a little bit to do this post-Gigaton:

Riot Act
Binaural
Vitalogy
No Code
Gigaton
Yield
Vs
Ten
Avocado
Lightning Bolt
Backspacer

Mine is quite similar to that but with RA much further down the list. I need to give that album another listen soon - I keep thinking I am missing a new aha moment with that one since many who put it near their top lump it with Vitalogy, Binaural, and No Code which are my top 3.

Guys, Gigaton might be my favorite.

I’m not looking back to see if I have included Gigaton yet, but as of today I would say:

Vitalogy
Backspacer
No Code
Yield
Gigaton
Ten
Vs.
Lost Dogs (if we were including)
Pearl Jam
Riot Act
Backspacer
Lightning Bolt
