Updated with Dark Matter…and it could possibly rise even further… also need to swap self titled and Riot Act from last ranking

What do you disagree with on my album ranking?
Binaural is PJ's best so let’s argue about it for the next 100 pages!
Definitely disagree with you there. Not a big Binaural fan but Light Years is one of my top favorite songs. A couple other decent tracks but not a big fan of the album as a whole. At least it isn’t a major clunker like Lightning Bolt.

You're dumb and i hate you and you also rate riot act and no code at the bottom what are you an idiot?
I don't know how I rank them but my bottom four is definitely S/T, Backspacer, LB and Gigaton.
Dark Matter is such a welcome return to form, even if some of the songs have less personality than the 2006-2020 material I do connect with (Life Wasted, Severed Hand, Unemployable, GSMF, Just Breathe and The End).
I've never rated No Code, Binaural or Riot Act amongst PJ's best records. They are good, but not great. The great ones for me have always been the first 3. Those are on another level. And then comes Yield which has peaks that reach just as high as any of the first 3 records (GTF, DTE), but overall, is a notch below. I'm rating Dark Matter at joint 4th with Yield for now, even though I think DM is the more consistent album.
5 stars Ten, Vitalogy, Vs.
4.5 stars Yield, Dark Matter
4 stars Gigaton, No Code, Binaural, Riot Act
3.5 stars S/T, Backspacer
3 stars LB
LB has aged the worst, for me. S/T and Backspacer have fared better.

I don’t think I can honestly give star ratings to Pearl Jam albums because I kill my credibility. I am nowhere near objective with it. But if we must you go ahead and laugh or barf:

to your point, i know my rankings are within a very specific band. while the top of my list are my favorite albums ever, even the bottom of my tiers are albums I, at worst, really like

No I’m not dumb nor an idiot. Not everyone has to like everything exactly how you do. Maybe that’s my preference?
B Tier and above have all gotten (or will likely get in Dark Matter's case) serious spinnage, with the exception of Ten, which I haven't had much interest in listening to for well over a decade and a half. I still think it's a great album, and it obviously holds a momentous spot in PJ's discography. I've just always been more into their more experimental, punky, indie-ish sounding stuff, and not really into their anthemic, big set piece dramatic rocker stuff.
