edited December 2009 in The Porch
It's time for Round 3 in the "Rank the Album" series. Today is Binaural. This album had an especially large treasure trove of b-sides to go with it (2nd most after Ten). So we have the 13 songs from Binaural, plus 5 more songs from Lost Dogs - Sad, Hitchhiker, In the Moonlight, Education and Fatal. This should be interesting, as fans have widely varying opinions of Binaural. Oh yeah, sorry folks, I already booted Sweet Lew.

Also, 18 songs is kind of a lot, so if you only want to rank your top 10, 12, 15, whatever, that's fine. Just give me at least 10, please.

Here are the songs to rank:
Breakerfall
Gods Dice
Evacuation
Light Years
Nothing as it Seems
Thin Air
Insignificance
Of the Girl
Grievance
Rival
Sleight of Hand
Soon Forget
Parting Ways
Sad
Hitchhiker
In the Moonlight
Education
Fatal

    All good songs. Can't rate them. But I'm sure there will be plenty of people bashing "Evacuation" and "In The Moonlight". Nothing much has changed in stupid land.

    Well, these 2 songs are getting crushed so far. I don't think you can complain a whole lot if you don't vote for them though.

    Well, I like all the songs a lot. How can I choose? "Rival" is probably my least favorite, but I even like that one.

    wow, so hard to rank binaural.

    light years
    sleight of hand
    rival
    nothing as it seems
    parting ways
    insignificance
    soon forget
    of the girl
    breakerfall
    gods dice
    thin air
    grievance
    evacuation

    songs 1-5 might as well be a tie for the #1 spot.

    That was pretty hard, lots of very evenly matched songs. Can't help but feel they erred with the tracklisting for Binaural, still a beautiful album though.
