Pearl Jam - Riot Act

'Riot Act' is the seventh studio album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released through Epic Records. Following a full-scale tour in support of its previous album, 'Binaural,' released in 2000, the band took a year-long break. The band then reconvened in the beginning of 2002 and commenced work on a new album. The music on the record featured a diverse sound, including folk-based numbers and experimental tracks.

'Riot Act' debuted at number five on the Billboard 200. It was the band’s lowest opening on the chart since the band’s debut. The band supported the album with a politically-charged concert tour in 2003. 'Riot Act' was the band's last album of all-new material for Epic.
