I listen to The 1975 if I want pop now

Thats the beauty about music and choice.

I don’t like this back and forth between the two of you without avatars. It’s distracting. Get avatars.

I mostly post on mobile, and can't seem to edit a pic down to size. So you're stuck with this.

Yes, username checks out.

I can sort one for you. Are you happy to trust me to choose something?

I have questions.

Are you generally a trustworthy person?

What are your thoughts on frozen yogurt?

[96583UP]

i can vouch for sarge on trustworthiness but not regarding frogurt

[bune]

yogurt should never be put in charge.

[dad]

Cultured, indeed.

I want to hear Gigaton now

I want to become a fully-fledged Gigatonian

You already are. In your heart.

Both Binaural and Backspacer lack follow through on initial concept.

Outer space

[LetMeSleep]

What would you say the concept of binaural is?

Production mainly.

BS has five tracks (1-4+SS) that I think fit the brief. Maybe FoN and UK could creep in to the brief. AtW, JB and The End don’t fit it at all.

[Monkey_Driven]

What would you say the concept of binaural is?

Good songs.

Backspacer is an excellent pop album.

there an echo in here?

There are two main examples that are varying degrees of good but ultimately unsuccessful as far as concept goes: BINAURAL and BACKSPACER.

Binaural has more of a commitment to the idea of going for mood above all. But they chickened out at the very end and brought BOB in to add some pizzazz. In retrospect, I wish they went all the way with the whole "this is our Pink Floyd album", even though I quite like what they accomplished anyway.

Backspacer is another missed opportunity in that regard. I wish they would have went all the way with "this is our Cars record." A tight 35-minute album that is filled with upbeat, punchy tunes that lean in on the heretofore unexplored lighter side of Pearl Jam. Basically a whole record with the feel of The Fixer, Johnny Guitar, Got Some, etc. Instead, I think they got about halfway there and it turned into half a conventional Pearl Jam record.

Spot on, my man. Bailing halfway through both projects.

I’m not going to argue but Binaural has better song writing and Ed still sounds like Ed.
