What Binaural could've been

Rival
Sad
Education
Light Years
Nothing as it Seems
Insignificance
Of the Girl
Grievance
Fatal
Sleight of Hand
Parting Ways
Soon Forget (hidden track)
This would probably have been one of their best albums ever. Too bad the b-sides are better than some of the a-sides

I'm not agree 100% i love binaural as is, but is not a bad scenerio

Why not (V) (°,,,,°) (V) ?
The songs you have added are great songs but i just dont think it would work and would spoil a masterpiece
I agree, Binaural is perfect as it is.
The band knows the Binaural b-sides are good, that's why they gave us Lost Dogs and still play some of those live.
But look at it this way, they could have just as easily never let those songs see the light of day and we wouldn't know about them.
I'm perhaps thinking too much in the mind of 'I prefer this to this, so it would be better' (e.g. Sad/Evacuation) when in reality the overall feel of the album may be ruined by such a change (Sad is a pretty heavy hitting song lyrically).
I just wish they included Sad and Education.. I like the idea of making Soon Forget a hidden track. Evacuation and Rival should have been the b-sides.
Now we're talking!

I think that the fact that they're about the same thing is what makes them fit together.

Sad, Education & Fatal were all b-sides for a reason...
And Evacuation gets a terrible reputation constantly... I like the song, not my favorite on the album by any means but it's descent.
Other Side is from the Riot Act sessions.
I agree, Sad is an incredible song. A bit puzzling that it didnt make the record.

"With our thoughts we make the world"
Binaural.
I agree with cutting rival and evacuation on Binaural and putting in sad and fatal
"Soon Forget" has "hidden track" written all over it. I suggested this in another thread and was chastised for daring to suggest it was anything less than a masterpiece.
So, yeah, I love Binaural as is! I also love all of the great Lost Dog tracks from those Binaural sessions, Sad being one of their best ever! Now does anyone recall, will Binaural be one of the albums that gets the remastered/reissued treatment? I think that could make for a neat reissue - packaging all of the unreleased stuff, maybe the instrumentals from Touring Band (some of their best jams), and hopefully some other goodies that went unreleased. Can't wait for that one.
