I've always liked the song, but it just gets better with age, live version-speaking ... Listening to the version from Gorge 1, '06. Menacing guitar work.

Totally agree...the studio version is nothing on the live tracks! The BEST Insignificance live IMO is the Denver 7/3/2006 version...listen at around 2m:50secs...Its the best Mike and Stone jam...its like their guitars are communicatin' - blows me away!

I'll have to check that out. Haven't heard Denver '06 in ages.
those are two pretty sweet boots.. be sure to give SOLAT a spin while you're there
Binaural is fucking awesome!!! sooner you all realize that the better!!
Not only is it my favorite PJ album, but it's just insane live.
Insignificance is a perfect example!
Of the Girl, Thin Air, Grievance, and maybe one of their best songs ever...Parting Ways.
Amazing album!!
It has a great meaning, obvious but not literal or corny.
Great buildup.
Great emotion.
While it is much better live than on the record, it is a little sloppy live.
nice! i love it when i read things like this,makes me know I'm not alone!

I think it maybe suffers from the Tchad Blake production. I don't mind it, but some people hate it (there used to be a poster here named Tchad Blake Sucks, I think).
At any rate, the songs on Binaural are definitely ratcheted up a level live, probably even more so than on other albums.
for the least they could possibly do
Agreed ... I think Tchad Blake's production on certain tracks was perfect (Light Years, Sleight, Of The Girl, basically the mellow ones). On the rockers, it left a little to be tdesired, perhaps.
Binaural is also an album best experienced on headphones. I remember all the goofy audiophile dorks on this board saying that back in the day. When I actually took their advice and tried it, it blew my freakin' mind.
You hear so many little things, it's like listening to a completely different album.
for the least they could possibly do
I honestly have come to view this album as basically the apex of the band's songwriting (to date). The songs are a perfect balance between complexity (aided by the production, of course) and impact ... Its not everyone's thing, but I like the subtle side of PJ. I feel the same way about No Code ... Which used to be what Binaural is now.
oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
