Picking a favourite PJ album is like picking a favourite child or favourite Star Wars movie. You don't want to say one is better than the other, but you can't ignore the fact that one of them has Jar Jar in it dragging it down. Riot Act has a handful of Jar Jars.
I was with you until the bolded bit.

LTRP is so much worse than Jar Jar. It actually makes me want to give Jar Jar a hug, maybe even a grope, and say come back, all is forgiven.

Pearl Jam albums are like children: the last few you popped out are ugly as shit, but everybody keeps that rictus grin on their face and tells you how cute they are.

Pearl Jam albums are like someone else's children that you "borrow" for a little casual fun.

I emphasize you, as I want no part of this predatory nightmare.

Pearl Jam albums are like children. If they're at least 18 years old then it's all good.

I listen to music mostly in my car. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this album sounds with soon-to-come new car stereo equipment. I think it's gonna be significantly better.

Pearl Jam fans are like parents who won't shut up about their children, you just want to punch them in the face.
