Released in November 2002 on Epic Records, the album took shape after a year away from the road, and the songs that emerged were shadowed by grief and uncertainty on two fronts: the political unease following the September 11 attacks, and the band's own reckoning with the deaths of nine fans during their 2000 performance at Roskilde Festival. Those events surface throughout the record's lyrics, which circle mortality and existential doubt without ever turning maudlin or didactic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWorking with producer Adam Kasper at Studio X in Seattle, on a recommendation from drummer Matt Cameron, the band stretched further into folk, art rock, and experimental textures than they had on previous records. \"Love Boat Captain\" addresses the Roskilde tragedy directly and marks the first appearance of keyboardist Kenneth \"Boom\" Gaspar, whose playing gives the song a somber, almost hymn-like quality. \"I Am Mine\" and \"Save You\" balance that reflection with some of the band's most direct rock songwriting in years, while \"Thumbing My Way\" slows things down into quiet, acoustic territory rarely heard on a Pearl Jam record up to that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRiot Act\u003c\/em\u003e debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, moving 166,000 copies in its first week, and stands as one of the more emotionally direct records in the band's catalog, a document of a group processing real loss in real time rather than performing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis limited pressing arrives as a double LP in a gatefold jacket, giving the album's quieter, more textured arrangements the room they need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":47360224198818,"sku":null,"price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/3735223.jpg?v=1782448886","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/es\/products\/pearl-jam-riot-act","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
