Pearl Jam has made some of the most vital music of its career.
-
Sticking to a formula -- a formula that works for them -- the band sounds fiercer than ever on Riot Act.
-
From its downbeat organ opening to its exhilarating climax, it's almost the sound of a garage band taking on 70s prog-rock excess - all the ambition and none of the flabby indulgence.
-
SpinLike their last three records... [Riot Act] balances emotive bombast with a taut, sweaty hard-rock attack. [Dec 2002, p.137]
-
With its restless spirituality and dense, decidedly un-pop arrangements, Riot Act perhaps most closely resembles that first album (No Code) of the post-Vitalogy years.
-
UncutA couple of songs could do with more melody and less of Mike McCready's spidery guitar breaks. [Dec 2002, p.132]
-
Riot Act meanders from one song to the next with an overwhelming insipidness.
