Remastered Reissue / Not Remixed

Devastated by the tragic death of nine fans during their set at Denmark's Roskilde Festival in 2000 and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Pearl Jam considered splitting up, but eventually poured their emotions into the making of their seventh album, 2002's Riot Act. Perhaps inevitably, ruminations on death loomed large in the record's lyrics, though the gold-certified album also included some of the band's most sublime material, courtesy of the folksy "I Am Mine," the Beatles-y psychedelia of "Love Boat Captain" and the looming art-rock of "Save You."
