Riot Act happens to be their best album. It's the peak of the band creatively.
Creatively maybe, but not lyrically. Its full of clunky awkward and in some cases just plain bad (you are) lyrics. But You Are is one of my favorite songs so that tells you how little I care about lyrics.

I'd have to let Binaural and Riot Act battle it out for the second spot on the "Best PJ By Lyrics" list. Riot Act does have the advantage of not having Gods' Dice or Soon Forget on it. Though, it is hindered by the fact that it doesn't have Insignificance, Nothing As It Seems, Sleight of Hand and Parting Ways. So...

I think Riot Act would probably be in the bottom half as well. Really only Cropduster and Thumbing my Way are excellent throughout.

I love you, stip, but that's stupid.
Obviously, you're a smart guy and you've more than earned your opinion. I'm just being obnoxious. But, seriously - Can't Keep, Love Boat Captain, I Am Mine, HelpHelp, 1/2 Full, All Or None...
None of those songs are good, lyrically, to you? I don't get that.

One stupid RM users track by track comparison of the subjective lyrical value between S/T and Yield:
Brain of J > Life Wasted Faithful > World Wide Suicide No Way > Comatose Give To Fly > Severed Hand Wishlist < Marker In the Sand Pilate < Parachutes Do The Evolution > Unemployable Red dot < Big Wave (* note Red Dot has no lyrics) MFC = Gone Low Light > Army Reserv In Hiding > Wasted Reprise (* note Wasted Reprise has next to no lyrics) Push Me, Pull Me < Come Back All Those Yesterdays > Inside Job
