Riot Act by Pearl Jam (CD, Nov-2002, Epic USA)

You can definitely tell how much PJ has matured with this album. I can’t help but to feel like their albums mimic my life in that way—as they mature so do I. My favorites on this album are “Thumbing My Way” and “All Or None”, but I love them all.

In my opinion, this is PJ's best work. As always Vedder proves to be a lyrical genius. Also, with the addition of Boom Gaspar on the Hammond B3 and Fender Rhodes, Pearl Jam successfully compliments their usual dry, grunge style with heavier rises and falls. The resulting ebb and flow of the music is something that even some R&B and Blues fans might enjoy.

Exactly as stated. I love Pearl Jam, even someof their lesser known work is some of their best. The CD came as described, just I was expecting.
