    doesnt matter..cos in parenthesis sound be (NOTHING AS IT SEEMS) 8-)
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    I think Can't Keep and You Are are better songs. Pendulum is definitely their strongest song since, though. No question.

    interesting.
    i think riot act is the only record that has songs you could make the argument for. the 3 i'd choose are you are, help help and all or none.

    pretty sure i take pendulum over all 3 though

    I think in terms of since Binaural, that All Or None is the one in my opinion. But Pendulum is up there, I agree.

    And Pendulum is already close to being played the same amount of times live as All Or None. :?

    I would agree only replace SOH with Of the Girl or Rival. I'm a big fan of Life Wasted but Pendulum is a little more interesting and has a lot more going on. I also really dig Let the Records Play and Yellow Moon but YM is a little to recycled for me to say it's a "better" song that Pendulum even though I may like it a little more, and LTRP is a little to cheesy for me to say it's a "better" song even though I may like it a little more.

    smart man.

    all or none would sound so fucking choice coming right after yellow moon during the sit down part of encore 1.

    and play parting ways after that and you'd probably have to scrape minds off the floor

    Stop it your making me drool, although this would never happen considering that 80% of the crowed would recognize 1 or less of those 3 songs. We can dream though right?

    I agree. Best since Binaural.

    I would say Infallible is the best song they have had since Binaural.

    I like Pendulum a lot but it doesn't really build at all and just hovers around. Sleight of Hand built to some amazing, powerfull choruses. Pendulum is fine the way it is but doesn't grab me like Infallible does or Sleight of Hand. I agree it is one of the best since Binaural but would put songs like All or None, severed Hand, you are, and can't keep above it.

    if you ever see my shiny bald head at a show, let me buy you a beer.
    i think something like that would go over. i don't think it would kill the crowd at all. you all or none with a rip shit up solo and parting ways with perhaps the best outro in the band's catalogue

    its fun when we can talk about music on this board.
    some of you don't suck

    Wrong.. The OP is just plain wrong..

    should I list the songs? just a couple? OK...

    Man of the hour ( I believe this was after Binaural)
    LBC
    Save You
    Green Disease
    All or none
    Half Full
    Thumbing
    You Are
    Life Wasted
    Parachutes
    Come Back
    INSIDE JOB!! (are you kidding me?, I should have just had a one song list)

    so I will stop there..

    A plethora of great song between then and now.. and I dont even think Pendulum is the greatest on the new album..

    It is indeed the most fun stuff to talk about on here, I don't really like All or None that much but I think it would be amazing live for Ed's voice and Mike's solos, and yeah the outro in Parting Ways is unfucking real, it would probably grab the attention of the crowed.

    What's funny is this is a left over backspacer song... Would it have saved that album?

    how would LB be without it?

    Just more fuel for the debate.

    And no, not at all best since binaural.

    1/2 full
    Inside job
    All or none

    Are all great songs from in between the two albums.
