Riot Act album for sale Product Description
Riot Act album for sale by Pearl Jam was released Nov 12, 2002 on the Sony Music label. Emerging from a three-year hibernation, Pearl Jam returns with RIOT ACT, a hard-hitting collection of 15 cuts that finds the band leaving behind the experimental nuances of BINAURAL and YIELD. Riot Act CD music Instead, Eddie Vedder puts on his hair shirt as he takes on both inner and outer conflict amid ambiguity. Hitched to the twin-guitar might of Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, Vedder treats Dubya scornfully on the howling "Bush Leaguer" and manages to turn the camera inward on the waltz-flavored chaos of "I Am Mine." The subtle presence of a humming keyboard on the driving "Get Right" is the sole concession to incorporating any contemporary nuance, and even then, howling guitars ensure this song remains firmly in the rock & roll camp. Other highlights include the thunderous "Save You" along with equally aggressive fret-driven tour de forces like "Ghost" and the slightly more ethereal "You Are." As one of the few survivors of the early-'90s grunge movement, (along with the often overlooked Mudhoney), Pearl Jam has managed to weather the choppy seas of pop culture and emerged with musical chemistry as rock-solid as its convictions. Riot Act CD music contains a single disc with 15 songs. ...See Full Description

| The best since ....... The most cd's of Pearl Jam ,except Ten, arn't so good as Riot Act. Riot Act is for me the second best CD after TEn. By a reviewer (Maastricht , Netherlands)  |
| Taste of the album Tepid; sluggish; dull; bored. Need I say more? By skank992002 (Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA) |
| Read the above reviews for some entertainment. I get the impression sometimes that they don't even listen to the albums before committing their mindless perspective to print. For example, "CMJ (11/25/02, p. 6) - '... It certainly includes all of the things Pearl Jam's fans have come to expect: 1970s-style arena rock riffs; gritty, angst-ridden vocals and a finesse for delivering hooks and scream-a-long choruses... '" 1970s style arena rock riffs? What scream-along choruses? Anyway, a good Pearl Jam album. Neither their best or worst, but keep in mind that matching their best is nearly impossible, and they have never released anything "bad," so consider this a good listen at the very least. By Popetastic (New Haven) |
| One of the Best Not only one of the best records of the year, but one of Pearl Jam's best albums. The songwriting is top notch and the musical and emotional range of the album gives the record the completeness it called for. Great album that got me back into one of my favorite bands of all time. By exitmat (Lake Worth, FL) |
| Not A good Pearl Jam album. As simple as that. Eddie's voice is weird and the preachy lyrics bother me. If you want REAL Pearl Jam, buy Ten or vitalogy. Don't judge pearl jam by this album. Please. By a reviewer (goldens bridge, NY) |
