    I like this song. Probably my favourite from Binaural. Great lyrics, great mood - eerie

    After a summer of working in south Jersey in 2000, I was going back to NYC before heading home, just after labour day. It was about 10pm and was sitting on the 319 bus to Port Authority on my own. Coming down after a summer of booze and grass, rain was pouring down as we were inching around the loop for the Lincoln tunnel, me in a daze with this song playing on my CD walkman, and it just fitted perfectly with everything i was seeing and feeling at that point. Like it was a soundtrack and I was the movie.

    The song will stay in my heart as long as I live.

    One of my all time favorite PJ songs. Agreed on how absolutely incredible the sound is! Easy to just get lost in, which is really cool- puts you in another world, almost!

    One of my absolute favorites. The 7-11-03 version (acoustic set) is fantastic.

    BH is what made me fall in love with this song. I was lucky to hear it once a few years ago.

    I love BINAURAL and Sleight of Hand is my favorite song off it (most likely my favorite PJ song)...It probably sounds super weird but BINAURAL IS my favorite PJ album. I know most PJ fans and band members don't agree with me but... :roll:

    Not weird AT ALL. Binaural is my obsession.

    This song is so underrated among PJ fans, I feel..

    Underrated for sure...

    I really hope they play SLEIGHT OF HAND in one of the 5 concerts here in Brazil. It would be like a DREAM COME TRUE...I really hope to experience the magic of this song in a concert.

    Binaural is genius!!!!!! and SOH is pure awesomeness!!!!! definitely one of my top PJ songs of all.


    I think it took Backspacer to show some people just how great Binaural & Riot Act really are.




    and to the OP....Check my brain is a great fucking song too!! ya fucker! :mrgreen:

    I love Binaural
    Sleight of Hand is a great song - very very very atmospheric
    I love the Benaroya Hall version the best, it sounds great

    "Sleight of Hand" is incredible and has such a haunting feel to it. That album came out right around the time I was graduating college and that song always struck me because I would listen to the album as I was driving to and from job interviews trying to figure out what the hell I wanted to do for a living. I was thrilled when I got to hear it at Jones Beach during that tour. I know that the production of Binaural isn't the best, but that's one song that I hope is left as it is when they get around to its re-issue because Tchad got that one right even if he didn't get some others to sound as good as they do live. I love the way they play it live, but it's the one song on the album that's just as good on the album as it is live (and might even be better on the album).

    i think binaural is awesome. SOH, Nothing As It Seems, Breakerfall opening is awesome. Not a big fan of Evacuation though. Its one of my favorite PJ albums, I break it out mainly during the coldest months and I'll occasionally take a drive and play it through. I try not to listen to it too much, some songs like SOH, Light years, Thin Air just remind me too much of past events. But a great album nonetheless
