Pearl Jam have made some of the bravest, brawniest and self-indulgently insular amp-cranking rock of our times and "Riot Act" is no exception. The Furious "Save You" and the militant green politics of "Cropduster" are tailor-made for mosh-pit mayhem. The unusual "Bushleaguer" pursues the band's experimental leanings. The best tune is undeniably the single "I Am Mine", a hint of "House of the Rising Sun" there. The worst is possibly is "Love Boat Captain". Riot Act is mostly superior rock music made by people who want to save the world, not torch it.
What an odd bunch of Rockers they are. 8/10
