Riot Act

Pearl Jam

A dense, experimental rock record grappling with political unrest and mortality. Warm analog tones meet jagged, anxious rhythms in a post-9/11 landscape.

It's the one where they got weird and political in the best, most soulful way possible.

A weary but resilient meditation on mortality and a fractured society.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, circular guitar riff of You Are that feels more like a heartbeat than a melody
Arc closing the album with a haunting, wordless vocal loop that sounds like a secular prayer
The sudden, jagged burst of aggression in Save You that cuts through the album's general mid-tempo haze
