    Bring it back again in 2009! Woohoo!

    I listen to this song every day and realize how frickin' awesome it is. It was truly a surprise to see it twice in 2008, and I'd love to see it in Philly again this year. :)

    The music is cool, I just don't dig the vocal delivery....E-Vac-U-A-Shun over and over grates my nerves (love me some Binaural though).
    I'm about to explode cause I can't carry your load

    their version of evacuation is top notch... i definately recommend checking it out... being there in person was actually funnier... mike had no clue what the fuck was going on...
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    Stone was playing in the wrong key and Mike couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong. :lol:

    I think someone handed Stone the wrong guitar.

    I still don't get why people don't like this song.

    Because it's challenging musically. What sounds genius to one person sounds "awkward" and "herky-jerky" to others. Those are the most common complaints I hear about Matt's songs. I just don't think some people have the capacity to enjoy his songs. They want everything to have a steady "groove".

    Other folks seem to focus on the two "Evacuations" sung in the chorus instead of everything else thats going on.

    This is probably the reason really... which is a shame.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart to whoever from the band reads this board. You made my night playing "Evacuation" last night. :)

    Since 2003, the band has played "Evacuation" 2.5 times. I've been there each time!! It's destiny.

    What are the chances that the band plays a FULL version of "Evacuation" in Bristow/DC this year? :)
