    look at it this way, if they would have put all of those songs on binaural then think of how empty lost dogs would have seemed

    +1

    Of the Girl is genius, an amazing opener to a show and a gem on the album.

    Pull: Evacuation and Soon Forget
    Add: In the Moonlight and Sad


    Pull: none
    Add: education - sad - fatal

    "Insignificance" and "Grievance" are the highlights of that album. I'm also a fan of "Evacuation."
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    wow... the book is so cool.

    only read about No Code and Binaural so far and it's all so interesting. Stone doesn't seem to have much love for Binaural it seems. And while I do love this album, I always felt it could've been so much better if they had just thought about the tracklisting a little better and the guys seem to think the same from the comments in the book. Shame really, could've been a real wow album. Tchad Blake was so so so right, it's unbelievable that Fatal didn't make the cut - this song is soooo Pearl Jam.

    Been thinking about this for years so here is what maybe would've been better:

    Breakerfall
    Sad
    Fatal
    Light Years
    Nothing As It Seems
    In The Moonlight
    Thin Air
    Insignificance
    Education
    Of The Girl
    Sleight Of Hand
    Soon Forget

    Evacuation has no place on anything apart from lost dogs. And although I like Grievance and Rival and parting ways, they don't seem as strong to me personally, maybe in the same category as In The Moonlight, but I think perhaps that has more substance to it. dunno. just thinking out loud.
    I do like that tracklist, it has a good flow to it. If they had then what they know now!!

    I guess what is wrong with me is I like to form my own opinions while interpreting art.. Binaural is my favorite album, and I was just speaking from a stand point of if i had to leave tracks off the album.. I don't skip any song on Binaural or anything.. I picked those two tracks. My opinion.. my main point "Leave God's Dice on!!"

    I wonder how they felt about 'writer's block' and why that made it instead of fatal, sad, etc???? ;)

    Reading in PJ20 book Jeff says that sad is a pop song. I think it is a fucking great song not a pop song, Pearl Jam dont pop.

    It doesn't surprise me at all...Stone is not very political it seems..Binaural is more of an Ed album IMO.

    And that's why Ed is the man and Stone writes songs like Your Flames. :mrgreen:

    and Fatal, Thin Air, and No Way. Just Sayin

    The weak links on Binaural for me have always been Breakerfall, God's Dice, Evacuation, and Soon Forget. I kind've like Breakerfall and God's Dice now, but I'm sorry Evacuation is just awful IMO. Even though I like God's Dice, Sad is a much stronger track. Soon forget is filler...everything else on the album is great. I also think the album would have been stronger with Sad and In the Moonlight. Fatal is also great but I can see how it may not have fit.
