I listened to all the studio albums front to back a few times. The biggest surprise to me upon reflection is that Riot Act is really good.

Yield may have been overrated by the fan base because it was truly a "return to form" (ie. a straight ahead rock record) after No Code. But pound for pound, Riot Act is a better record. I can't believe it but it's true. Listen. :twisted:

Riot Act is quite good (and often underrated), but it's not that good.

In 2003 I might have agreed with that statement.

This announcement is not so much shocking as it is wrong.

Is your avatar masturbating? That's rude.

I'm happy to be banned for liking Riot Act. Seriously, I was as surprised as you at my reappraisal of the albums.

I'm gonna put these records in order from first to worst shortly but I might keep it to myself. I'll probably be banned by then anyway.

There's no song on Binaural, Riot Act, Self Titled or Back Spacer better than "Given to Fly".
