You say Phoned in, I say appropriately weary given the context and the lyrical content of the album . Personally, I much prefer this to the way he sounds (or tries to sound) on Avacado.

Really? I didn't get embarrassed about Pearl Jam until Avacado.

It's a shame we've only been over this a 100.000 times, but I agree with the last two posts of our new poster.

Ghost has been my favorite PJ song for the past 3 weeks :bammer:

And Riot Act helped me out of depression too. I didnt listen to all the depressing songs on it though :haha:

And You Are is amazing stoned.

I like this new guy. Even though when I first saw the username I read it as "1nad..." and got really confused.
