I've been brainwashing myself with this. I've come to accept the second half but doubt ill ever love it. First half is better.

Here, these are really good and on sale for 50 bucks. I can vouch for these personally. You're gonna have a tough time finding others that are as good, for that price range.
Thanks.

Done. 2 day delivery, free with Amazon Prime (which by the way, is very much worth it).

Merry Christmas to me.

If you're gonna be using it mostly with mp3 players or phones, make sure to get yourself an adapter. You can get them on Amazon for a couple bucks. http://www.amazon.com/Generic-25-3-5mm- ... y_MI_img_y

Took a Pearl Jam break for a few weeks. Lightning Bolt is still a fantastic cd. Miles ahead of Riot Act, Self Titled and Backspacer.

That is all. :peace:

It might be better than Yield once the nostalgia is stripped away.

This is possibly, and only just possibly, their best since Self Titled. If they'd followed through with session 1 and release a 10 track album it would have been pretty good. But most of session 2 was written with a goal in mind and lacks because of it.
