    I remember picking this up and thinking, "what the hell is this?" in a very good way, all those years ago. PJ's greatest artistic achievement imo.

    I absolutely love this record. An awesome moment in PJ history is when Nothing As It Seems was announced as the first single, many people thought it was going to be a soft record. And then when everyone expected them to play Nothing As It Seems on Letterman shortly before the start of the 2000 tour, they came out and rocked the hell out of Grievance, complete with Mike smashing his guitar at the end and Ed handing the mangled mess to Letterman as a gift. Suddenly everyone realized that their assumptions about the record were wrong. I'd link the youtube video, but it's blocked at work. One of my favorite performances by them...

    So true. It was my freshmen year of college, I had a blank vhs tape (remember those things) all ready to go for Letterman, expecting Nothing as it Seems, and I remember trying really hard not to shit my pants when Matt laid into the drum intro for Grievance.

    Anyone else joining me in watching touring band tonight? Not only are these songs awesome but they also play them so damn well live, such a shame they don't play them very often anymore.

    I skipped school the last week of my senior year of high school to buy this. The lady that unlocked the door and let me and my buddy in the record store asked if we were there for Oops I Did It Again. I guess it was released the same day. I remember being so offended!

    I can't believe it's 13 years already :o I remember I was working in a music store when it was released so we had the delivery on the Friday afternoon ready for Monday release. We pretty much blasted it in store all day Saturday and had to tell the customers they couldn't buy it until the Monday!

    I've had a real rollercoaster relationship with this record. I adored it when it came out but I think I must have gone 4 or 5 years without listening to it at all at one point. It's probably because PJ started the bootleg releases for the Binaural tour. When you have 72 double cds to listen to there's not much time for the studio ones!

    I still love it as an album but whenever there's a new "Rank the albums" thread it usually ends up as number 8 for me (just behind Vs but ahead of Backspacer), purely because of the quality of the other records

    Happy Birthday Binaural! You are such a great record!!
    I have so many great, crazy memories tied to you, like selling the
    Landlord a bong... And getting held up with a bale-fork.. And a crack
    Head crawling in the window... My wolf dog adopting a Pitt Bull,
    And the police waking us up to tell us they were sorry to wake us up!!!
    You've been a wonderful record! Think I'll listen to you on the record
    player when I get home tonight!

    I saw 10 shows on this tour so it will always have a special connection with me. They played the hell out of it every night. Great album.

    I know Fatal and Sad didn't make the final cut, and not even sure what they would replace, but wow......
