You know the drill. You can decide if Riot Act deserves an extra point for the non-competitive tracks (14/15)

1-Life Wasted
2-WWS
3-Comatose
4-Severed Hand
5-Marker in the sand
6-I Am Mine
7-tie (but unemployable is likely to end up ahead of TMY)
8-You are (but big wave might ultimatley beat it if it becomes a fun live song)
9-Gone
10-Wasted Reprise
11-Army Reserve
12-Come Back
13-Inside Job

So Avocado 10
Riot Act 2 +1 for all or none: 3
1 tie

And as is the tie and one of riot act's points will likely break towards avocado in the end. Not a strong showing for RA, but it was hurt by having two of its strongest tracks (can't keep and save you) going up against two slightly better avocado tracks

No comparisson in my opinion. Avocado is just a better album.

Riot Act is the worst Pearl Jam album - Avocado is probably the best.


on Riot Act, Eddie sounds like he doesn't give a shit, even on the songs hes supposed to (Save You) - On Avocado, it sounds like he does give a shit

It's not even close... RA is a snooze fest thats enjoyable once in a great while. (compared to other PJ albums only)

even though pearl jam is a better album, i'm still deeply in love with riot act

and thumbing my way vs. unemployable is probably the hardest best matchup i've seen in all these threads

Can't Keep < Life Wasted (by a MILE)
Save You > World Wide Suicide (very close)
LBC < Comatose (again, close)
Cropduster < Severed Hand
Ghost < Marker in the Sand (see #1)
I Am Mine < Parachutes
Thumbing My Way < Unemployable (see #1 & #5)
You Are < Big Wave (slightly)
Get Right < Gone
Green Disease > Wasted Reprise
Helphelp < Army Reserve
Bu$hleaguer < Come Back (see #1, #5 & #7)
1/2 Full > Inside Job (closest battle IMO)

Riot Act - 3 + 1 for All or None = 4
Pearl Jam - 10

Avocado wins again!!!

Can't Keep
Save You
Comatose
Severed Hand
Marker
I Am Mine
Thumbing..
You Are
Gone
Green Disease
Army Reserve
Come Back
1/2 Full

Arc gets nothing cuz I hate it, and All or None only gets a half point cuz I only like the 2nd half.

Riot Act = 7.5
Pearl Jam = 6

Weird - I'd rank Pearl jam as my 3rd favorite album, and RA as my 7th.

1. Can't Keep (close)
2. WWS (similar)
3. LBC (tough call)
4. Severed Hand (easy)
5. MITS (easy)
6. Parachutes (magic)
7. Thumbing My Way (close)
8. You Are (i love Big Wave...)
9. Gone (very different)
10. tie (how can you compare those?!)
11. Army Reserve (not an easy choice)

Riot Act: 4(+1 for All Or None)
Avocado: 8
1 tie

RA is great but the Avocado is invincible!

1. Life Wasted (not close, but I do like Can't Keep a lot)
2. WWS

4. Severed Hand
5. MITS
6. I Am Mine (Still one of all time favorites)
7. Unemployable
8. You Are
9. Gone
10. Green Disease (Very close)
11. Army Reserve

Riot act would get an extra point for Arc, which is really fucking moving.
