    SOH is not only the best song on Binaural...it's one of the best songs this band has ever made.....i just think it might be a little too deep for some people and the song goes over their heads.....i have yet to be blessed with hearing it live.....but it's the one i look most forward to hearing next time the boys are in Boston.

    Says the pothead ;) .....I like it, but it is pretty boring..
    'I want to hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'

    You have to be in a certain mood to truly appreciate the song.....otherwise, it falls flat..

    to me it's a perfect example of Pearl jams absolute brilliance...their ability to excel in all styles of music...so while i enjoy the fast paced rockers...i equally enjoy the mellower introspective tunes...but It's ok Mike....i know how illiterate you are...and all those blows to the head you have taken...all the cash you lost to King...prison....and worst of all...Robin Givens!!!!.........i let it slide this one time.

    Thanks for letting me keep my teeth ;) ....I remember listening to it when I was younger and going through certain things, but really haven't had the urge to hear it in a while...I'll give it a spin tonight..

    I'm not saying Sleight of Hand isn't a really cool song. I just really love Of the Girl. Always been my favorite song on Binaural.
