This is tough. I've grown to love this album so much over the years. Soon Forget is the easy first off. Not because it's a terrible song but it is the clear least of the bunch. I do still like it well enough, however.

With apologies to chud, I guess I'll go with Parting Ways. Again, I don't hate it but it's not up to the standard set by the rest of this excellent, excellent record.

Nor I. I've liked it since first listen. Gods' Dice, however, I used to despise but now I really love.

Soon Forget
Breakerfall

I like Breakerfall quite a bit. It's solely because it's on such a strong record.

Look guys, we don't have to vote of Parting Ways. I'm totally fine with that. But some folks need to come up in here and save Evacuation. That song deserves so much better than a survivor round exit.

I've come around somewhat on Evacuation, but I voted for it and Soon Forget. I genuinely like all the other songs on Binaural more than those two + the outtakes like Sad and Fatal. Take it not as a knock against Evacuation, rather a testament to how good Binaural and it's outtakes are. The only stinker is Soon Forget.

I've really come around on evacuation, however there are just too many great songs on this album not to vote for it.

The person who voted for Rival better hope I never find out who they are.

I do like Rival more than Evacuation. But Evacuation is in the top half of the record. I can't understand throwing it away this early.

Certainly. I'd go so far as to say it's probably a majority opinion.
