    Binaural is perfact, as is. Evacuation is the only song with a weak moment.

    The "left-offs" fit as good on Lost Dogs as they would on Binaural.

    I'm gonna agree with the 5 dudes that made it and say the tracklist is the right one.

    evacuation owns.. i thought i made this clear already :D


    and yep, the original track list is brilliant.. Though sad is a great song, i think it would have changed the whole vibe of the album...

    You did, and I agree it does own. It owns a very bad chorus. The bridge brings it home nicely, though.

    I wasn't keen on Evacuation for a long time. It was always one of my least favorites off Binaural (along with Rival), but in recent years they've both really grown on me. I think they fit well w/in the fabric of that album.

    I will agree with you though that I think Evacuation has a killer bridge, not so killer chorus. Sort of like Pilate!

    more to the point, Sad/Letter To The Dead simply wouldn't have worked with the other tracks on Binaural,...

    Sorry - it doesn't make any sense to me that Sad wouldn't have fit in with Binaural. It would've made Binaural better.

    Also, Rival is awesome. Evacuation - not so much.

    It makes more sense than putting it on there. Who are we to question the tracklist that's released? THAT doesn't make sense. If you don't like an album, you don't like an album(not sayin you don't) but to change what the artist had in mind is completely ridiculous, imo.
