That's pretty normal. But yeah, great album cover to cover and I find the sequencing to be pretty much spot on for my liking. I may change a thing here or there down the road.
For instance, with Gig, I re tracked like this:
WES SBWM Dance Alright 7 QE Buckle Never Dest CTG TTLW Retro River Cross

True the sequence of songs is really well done. Running has very good spot after all the emotional baggage of the previous songs. It makes the songs better. DM is a very welcome hard rocking song after the beauty of Wreckage.

Stern was talking about PJ again this morning. He couldn't sleep last night because WFS was stuck in his head. He loves it. (The song's lyrics are also entirely appropriate for describing his mental state.)

They thought of it really well.
Agreed The tracking on DM is great. I’m curious to see what it would be like switching up wreckage with won’t tell, having wreckage the 4th song, then DM number 5 before upper hand.
this threads are all linked in the index post at the top of the forum. vote - we need accurate data!
What does the % represent? Percent of songs that received at least 4 stars? If so, I’d love to know how Vitalogy gets a 100% when it has mediocre songs like Satans Bed and Whipping on it, plus thematic ‘songs’ like Bugs, Pry To, That’s Me.
percentage of folks giving the overall album 4 or 5 stars
RM 5 star % only is pretty interesting
1. Yield 82% 2. Vitalogy 80% 3. Ten 76% 4. Vs 72% 5. No Code 65% 6. Dark Matter 61% 7. Binaural 49% 8. Riot Act 27% 8. Gigaton 27% 10. Avocado 22% 11. Backspacer 4% 12. Lightning Bolt 0%

Because I’m in a long meeting that requires nothing of me but attendance, here is the breakdown of the current album polls (total score divided by number of votes, converted to a percent):
Ten 94% Vs 93% Vitalogy 96% No Code 91% Yield 96% Binaural 86% Riot Act 80% Pearl Jam 72% Backspacer 56% Lightning Bolt 44% Gigaton 79% Dark Matter 90%

This is actually pretty representative of how i feel about the catalogue. I'd have those top 5 in a different order but they are clearly the top 5. Dark Matter would be solidly in 6. Binaural and Gigaton battle out for 7-8, Riot Act and Avocado are close in the 9-10 and Backspacer and LB are clearly the bottom 2 records.
