I'm so glad evacuation made it onto binaural - it helped me to make a tough decision of leaving my fuckwit boyfriend and getting the hell out of dodge. So even if ya don't like it, just think, it has served it's purpose for others...and that bridge is Amazing (altered by a falling eagle....a warning sign...)
Binaural is an incredible album... it's just a shame Evacuation's on it.
The verses are great, the chorus is crap.
IMHO, of course
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
The chrous is extremely short. If you don't like the song because of a 5-second chrous, then you're obviously not paying attention to the rest of the song. The guitar parts are wicked.

I said I like the verses and I agree, the guitar is awesome. I just think that the '5 second chorus' could've been better and it ruins the song for me, personally.

Unfortunately is makes me think of an out of control bowel movement after an enema.
That and of Ved profusely spitting will singing it on the Touring Band DVD.
Other than that, it's great .
oMG! i noticed the spitting thing in dvd for evacuation... that's like forever embedded in my head..that and those white pants!!... imagines all the 'lucky ones' sitting in first row. think i'll go watch it..~

I also love this song... I think it has some emotion... the lyrics are powerful... but maybe not powerfully sung like other songs... but its all about making a change... a dramatic change... I like the ebb and flow of the guitar.

That's because we like Matt's creativity. Others aren't as perceptive. They'd rather hear some candy ass ballad about someone who died.

It's one of the more interesting songs of their later day catalog.
It's also a very difficult song to play if you're so inclined
Binaural is hands down my fav PJ album
