This is the truth, folks.

It doubles as my favorite PJ track 1.

Can't Keep is a nice song, I like it, but it still doesn't beat out I Am Mine, 1/2 Full, All or None, LBC or You Are.

You do your best posting in GD Mowbs, this thread is erroneus. None of you fuckers mentioned Save You. However, Can't Keep on the uke is really cool. LBC, I am Mine, You Are, Thumbing my Way all beat Can't Keep on my list.

It was the best song to choose for the opening of Riot Act.

Can't Keep and Sometimes are the two best track 1's.

Green Disease is it, though.

It's certainly among the most sonically advanced and skillfully crafted tracks from the record.

Thumbing my way. But can't keep is very good.

Can't Keep is decent, which puts it head and shoulders above most of the rest of Riot Act. The more I think about it, though, the more I realize Arc is the one song off the album I can't live without.

I'd say I am mine is better, but I'm not going to argue with can't keep.

After Can't Keep/Save You/I Am Mine there is a pretty big drop off in quality.

Riot Act and No Code are the only Pearl jam records with just 3 songs i'd give four stars too (although no code has quite a few songs on the fence)

No Code-only 3?
Sometimes
Hail Hail- (best relationship song)
In My Tree
Smile
Habit
Red Mosquito
Present Tense (in my top 10)
I'm Open (just fucking cool!

3 of those songs are 5 stars in my book. Arc, LBC, Can't Keep, 1/2 Full are the only songs that get 3 or more off Riot Act. I don't get I Am Mine, and a lot of the rest of the record sounds the same to me.

Can't Keep is the best song on Riot Act IMO, I agree totally.
