Riot Act is the last great PJ album. I'm not sure I'd call it a "Post Riot Act Money Grab" - but I mean call it a "Post Riot Act middle age malaise."
I really struggle to get excited about Help Help (meandery slop rock) & Green Disease (does anything happen in this song of note?). Get Right is also pretty forgettable. Especially when "Other Side" could have been included.
Apart from that, I love everything. Even Bushleaguer, though dated, is at least adventurous.
Riot Act also contains "Thumbing My Way" & "All or None" two songs that mean a huge deal to me, and would be essential on any playlist I make for friends.

I totally understand why Other Side was left off of Riot Act. And I suppose I even understand why people would think it's uninteresting... but I disagree. It's a wonderful, emotional, and exact piece. It really means a lot to me. Especially as a conversation piece with Sad.
