    Granted our past failures with said campaign and the current "green" movement, maybe we should just send them e-cards. :D
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

My opinion is that G2F and Wishlist make the album more than BoJ and MFC. In another context, those songs could be vastly different.

    i agree with this. according the philosophy that the group here has subscribed to, wishlist and gtf (even more so..faithfull) are way more integral to the whole theme/message than BoJ and MCF. but let us not pit songs against one another.

    ultimately i think ed (maybe the others?) saw the yield in those 2 latter songs which is why they too are on the album.

    An alternate theory.
    Alas, if only I had the masterlist. It has seemed to have disappeared.

    BOJ and DTE are one in the same...big God Damn warning signs. I think the seed was planted early...the theme may have evolved from what they originally started from...but it was there.

    In essence, it's like making lasagna (sorry for the lazy reference...I'm not clicking on all cyclinders yet)...there are layers that keep being added on...more ingredients that add to the flavor.

    Binaural was like a rebound girlfriend for a long time...I listened to her...told her she was pretty, but I really wanted to be with YIELD.

    I have since pulled a Scott Baio and apologized to her.

    If I did that, I would be in a thread talking about Ten.

    I have been hearing about this thread, but never got around to reading it. I am excited to see the wisdom of this thread that I have heard so much about. I just have to ask, before I can ever really get into my full appreciation mode, how can anyone realistically say Yield is better than Ten? I don't know how to get past that.
    Things change. They wont change unless you make them. The best way to change something you don't like, is to change yourself. So if you feel like you have a piece of duct tape on your mouth and you can't escape, take it off, speak up, speak your mind, shout it out, let 'em hear ya! -EV

    very interesting.

    just last week I listened to ten and I was totally blown away. it was like I'd never heard it before. if you break the album down, song by song, it is just simply astounding that songs as powerful as Alive and Black are on a debut album. so in that respect, there is something about ten that will never be seen on any other album.

    as for the "big deal" about yield, it seems that the people on this thread (and lots of fans, really) seem to identify/gravitate toward the message of the album and how it is delivered through the music. how accidentally deliberate it all is. maybe.

    :)

    Yeah, and to answer the previous question about Ten being better...
    I think, speaking on behalf of the people that post here, YIELD means a little more to us because of everything else that surrounds it. The things that were going on in our life at the time, when we've listened to it, why we've listened to it, all these things factor in to it.

    We're not trying to push YIELD on everyone or say it's better, all we're trying to do is discuss it to find out more about it, thusly finding out more about ourselves.

    If you can do that with Ten, that's great, please do. I think that's half the point of the message board. If you'd like to join us and do so with YIELD, post away.

    It's all state of mind, so I don't think it's fair to characteristically assume one album is better than any other. The album is meaningless without the listener.
