If by flop album, he means probably the best album the band has done, then yes, I guess it is a flop album

I prefer RA to Binaural, in all honesty.

If anything I think No Code is really ovverated by PJ fans, although I guess for the general public it could be called a flop.

i think Binaural and Riot Act are the two PJ albums that are least appreciated.

Personally, I think Binaural rules and it is my fav.

When I hear the term "flop," I think of album sales, in which case No Code was not a flop. Really, no PJ album was, but I guess RA and Binaural would be the biggest ones.

You really can't call a #1 album a flop no matter what you're comparing it to.

It was number 1 based on the strength of the band's name. I think it sold 1/3rd of what vitalogy sold

and Vs. sold almost half of what Ten did...flop?

A legitimate decline in sales for the band, yea, I can't disagree with that. But in the large scale of things, No Code was a #1 album (spent more time at #1 than Vitalogy) and it is has sold almost 1.5 million copies. It may not look to impressive in comparison with PJ's previous sales, but it's something most bands could only hope for.
