Seriously. Ed's been mangling words since 1990.

If the numbers above are to be believed, a total of 315 people voted on this poll. Pretty impressive for RM.

the general public has been making fun of eds enunciation since the beginning, RM is now finally starting to join in on the fun. Maybe RM doesnt hate Pearl Jam as much as they lead on.

We've been and done that.
This is my struggle with LB. It's the first album they've done where they sound like they haven't grown or changed as musicians. It's too similar to its predecessor.

I was thinking the other day that I'd probably put backspacer ahead of lightning bolt despite probably liking the l-bolt collection of songs a bit more just because lbolt does feel just a tad bit too safe/familiar as a whole (though there are still songs and moments that feel new)
Right now it hovers just above s/t and Yield. Weaker highs, but more consistently good.
For now

Just because I wanna
Versus
Vitalogy
Ten
Yield
No code
Lightning Bolt
Binaural
Backspacer
Riot Act
Self Titled
Going by that list, I obviously don't think their second half of their career is anywhere near the first.

I die a little bit everytime I see Binaural and Riot Act so low.

That's possibly the first time I've ever seen VS. So low!! I mean, animal, go, daughter, elderly, indifference, rvm, rats????? these guys made better songs? I guess opinions do vary.

I dont.
At the time i loved it...but its a flawed album for me and i think it could have been awesome. Some of it has to do with ed's delivery.
