I've never given numerical rankings

Vitalogy: 10
Ten: 10
Vs: 9
Lightning Bolt: 8
Backspacer: 8
S/t: 7
Yield: 7
No Code: 6
Binaural: 5
Riot Act: 5


These rankings are internal to the catalog. I still love Riot Act more than most other records I own

Self Titled over Yield and No Code. You're insane. Objectively insane.

S/t and Yield are basically tied. But S/T's top songs aren't as played out as Yields.

Yield is a collection of strong, well-written & well-recorded songs. Self-titled is a collection of generic, poorly-written and badly-recorded crap. That's why S/T belongs at the bottom and Yield at the top. I can't even imagine how anyone could find them "equals", but leave it to stip.

That's like saying these are the same:

Has anyone actually ever seen poop that curled up like that?

And bottom three.

I wouldn't quibble with anyone who had Riot Act at the top but then ehhh

There are uncharitable days where I feel like people who are uniformly blown away by yield are just too easily impressed.

I think you just described the target audience PJ had in mind with Yield.
