I love the bands work in Cant Keep. Eddies uke version is nice, but this is the definitive version.
Same with Sleeping By Myself.

agreed. Those were both huge upgrades, and sleeping by myself was already very good as a solo track

Riot act is 14 today.
Definitely the most consistently 'mood' of all their records. I haven't listened to it in years.

It's definitely an autumn / winter record for sure. And nothin to do with when it was released.

I listened to this one a month ago, in a bus´s trip on a quiet night and really enjoyed it. Im in better terms with it, specially with Ed´s delivery.

I think Cropduster might be the best song on this album.

I think overall riot act has eds best vocal delivery of all the albums. He's playing to his strengths and it's real Rich deep and wonderful.

You might be right there. It's either that or Yield.

Listening to this one on vinyl. Man, the memories...i loved it so much when it came out and im feeling im there again.
Even if there is still something in Ed´s delivery thats still bothering me, i like more now.

Had the urge to throw this on a few days ago myself. An album about surrender to the will of the universe in the face of social and political distress. Certainly not an album I was hoping I'd find myself "feeling" in the here and now ever again....
