    It is impossible to be a masterpiece when evacuation is on it. 
      its a masterpiece when this song has the best druming of matt
    "...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.....”

    wrroooooooooooooooooooong
    Lets be real here. It’s a good album and it has definitely grown on me but it is far from a masterpiece. If it was that good they would play it more and the masses would have bought into the album. Tickets in 2000 were very easy to get, 98/96/95, not so much.

      I don’t care what type of drumming there is it is still a crappy song.  There wasn’t too much crowd energy when they played it in 2000. I d ask your personal opinion on that but only one of us saw them that tour. ;)

    Lol. What we agree on are two of the most important things in life!  But evacuation is still a shitty song, one of their worst. If they played it live again I bet you four people out of 20,000 would be pumped about it. You, brisk , Dimi and some drunk evenbro lol.

    What did you think of Matt s drumming of this song in 03? Wait a second, you didn’t see them that tour either huh? ;)   I ll give you a first hand account: it still wasn’t good live. If it was they’d play it more often.

    Hey now I’m not gonna sit here and be reduced to “some drunk evenbro” :lol:
    I’m still waiting to hear it live. They stared to play it at DC 08 but had some technical issues and had to evacuate it.

    wrroooooooooooooooooooong
    Lets be real here. It’s a good album and it has definitely grown on me but it is far from a masterpiece. If it was that good they would play it more and the masses would have bought into the album. Tickets in 2000 were very easy to get, 98/96/95, not so much. 
    The masses have shit taste.

    Not worst, not best....somewhere in the middle, for me anyway.

    LOl. To each their own. Binaural was the first time I was ever disappointed in a pj album (along with literally everyone one of my friends who had followed pj since ten). The 2000 tour was kind of flat.  Denmark had something to do with it and anything post yield tour was sure to be a let down. Riot act was an even bigger disappointment for many of us.  Self titled was a nice come back but man oh man, I was not a huge fan of albums 6-7.

    I think Binaural is uneven,  but I'm a big fan of Riot Act. Not every song,  but I love several of them.

    It took me about 10 years to fully appreciate Binaural. I think it's a very good record...not as good as the five before it, mind you, but still very good.
