i actually prefer self titled and backspacer to riot act. but yeah, they're on a pretty long cold streak.

Backspacer was a pretty fantastic album. So was Avocado. Lightning Bolt... a discussion for another time.

binaural is overrated

You lose. Good day, sir.

Every record after Yield is flawed in some respect.

I’d say after vs.

Vs. is flawed.

yield is pretty much perfect

anything else is on the table given that Angel was brought back two years ago (trainwreck that it was)

They did a full Binaural, Vs. , Ten, No Code, and Yield show, all in the last few years.

Im sure theyll do Riot Act and Vitalogy at some point

A Vitalogy setlist could easily kill Ed

Good

Riot Act is their best album.

This isn't the worst take.

They're still going to do it. Its obvious theyre going to do it. DO YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY NOT SEE THAT THEYRE GOING TO DO IT?

How was Angel a train wreck? I was in Telluride, shocked, and thought the full band version was kinda groovy. Ed did a good (for 2016 standards) job with the vocals, and I've gone back and watched it on yt many times... It was a good performance of an easy, mediocre song.

mikejason, you drinking Jolt soda over there or something?

I don't think we'll get a full Riot Act show. It's got bad pacing and I just can't imagine anyone in the band being excited for it.

sorry, I should have been specific that I was talking about the Fenway version...the Telluride version is much better

I don't think I've seen the Fenway version b/c Telluride was so... dreamy!

holy crap would a lot of people be pissed after a concert featuring the entirety of riot act being played.

If it makes you feel better, 1/2 Full wasn't complete garbage.

The concerts are like 35 songs nowadays. There would still be room for the 6ish Ten songs they play per night even with all of Riot Act.
