Pearl Jam

Lightning bolt was definitely more up my alley. Especially liked the pendulum.

I can't actually think of an older band that I really dig that I've liked an album of for years. U2s last two are poor, Foo fighters have released unlistenable rubbish since wasting light, arcade fire aren't old but I didn't like EL, Noel Gallagher's last album was a dud, green day's last is in the same boat Coldplay well I won't go there nothing of note for 10 years now. It's just let down after let down!

I like the new album. But I think I like lightning bolt better.

I think Lightning Bolt is their worst album, only narrowly, because Backspacer is just behind it. LB does have its moments, Pendulum being one, but it's lyrically poor and mostly musically uninspiring.

I hear you for sure. I can definitely say that each album has a mood. And I definitely find myself in the mood for LB and Backspacer at times. I can’t probably say Riot Act is my least likes album from them. I’m never in the mood to throw it on.

Riot Act was once my least favourite album, but then I stuck Live at the Garden on spontaenously and it all made sense. I think the album has a really disjointed track listing, which is a trend Pearl Jam have set in all their albums. But it has a really despondent and visceral mood, and I love how that seeped into the album tour. For me, it's the last time we've properly seen the band at their ballsiest.

Love Boat Captain, You Are & 1/2 Full really hold up in their catalogue. But I also love tracks like Green Disease, All or None & I Am Mine.

It sounded phenomenal during Riot Act tour

Most of Pearl Jam sound better live - especially the more recent album (er, since 2000).

I think all of Lightning Bolt live sounded much weaker than the album, something that the band have perhaps realised because Gigaton sounds like it was written to be played live?
