It doesn't it. However, it's in that PRAMG era, so it qualifies.B wrote:How does a song that was never released count as a money grab?darth_vedder wrote:10 Billion Years
They "feel" plenty close to S/T to me. What do feeling have to do with it anyways? I'm into facts, man. Facts.E.H.

I agree. I like S/T, but not the two after. However, the board has spoken, it's referred to as PRAMG; but I do like to think of it as PAMG (post avocado money grab).tragabigzanda wrote:I honestly have a tough time lumping S/T into the PRAMG.

Agreed completely. I'm not including it on my list because it seems so blatantly obvious that it shouldn't be part of that body of work.

I never felt like it was a money grab as much as U2-grab. I felt like they wanted to be one of the Big Bands again, but I don't know if it necessarily had much to do with money.durdencommatyler wrote:While we're at it, I've always hated the "Post Riot Act Money Grab" label.
