My Current Favorites Gigaton Binaural
Feeling the artwork, reading the lyrics, following along with the booklet as the album progresses, these two albums feel similar to me and I absolutely love them both.
The Undeniable Classics Vs. Ten Vitalogy
These three are absolute classics for a reason. Wherever you rank them amongst your favorites, everyone agrees they are staples and classics for a reason.
Awesome Albums, Amongst the Best Yield No Code Riot Act
Creativity in spades. Classics in their own right. An argument can be legitimately made these are top albums. We’re eight albums deep folks.
Good Album, Awful Production Avocado
The songs are there for a pretty damn good PJ album, but it sounds like shit on the record. Every single song was better live.
Please Ignore Backspacer Lightning Bolt
These are so, so, bad. Ugh.

It is better than every PJ album except the first 3. There, I said it.
I hadn't been saying it more out of respect for Yield and No Code rather than actual love of the songs on those albums. There are definitely songs on both albums that I love but as complete albums, I don't see either exceeding Gigaton which hardly has a skippable song.
Binaural and Riot Act have always been a notch below for me so not difficult to place Gigaton above them. S/T is in the same category as these two. BS and LB are in the enjoyable but not memorable category which is the bottom tier.

S/T is the last album that feels like Pearl Jam to me. Gigaton, while being quite a bit better than the last too, is still a 'modern version of Pearl Jam (starting with Backspacer)' record with all it's usual faults. Don't get me wrong, though. I like Gigaton. It's just not the Pearl Jam renaissance in my eyes like it is for some people.
