I went to Gremmie to make the OG Binaural yesterday and I think I prefer that version. I tried it with both Puzzle & Games and Light Years and Light Years fits it so much better.

Brothers, I'm struggling to find a spot for Sleight of Hand in my re-track. Wherever I put it it just seems to hold things up. Suggestions?

01) Of The Girl
02) Breakerfall
03) Sad
04) Nothing As It Seems
05) Insignificance
06) Grievance
07) Light Years
08) Education
09) Fatal
10) Rival
11) Thin Air
12) Soon Forget/Parting Ways

I haven't decided whether Soon Forget works better after Parting Ways or vice versa. Do I even need Sleight of Hand? I'm not a massive fan, but it's an important song for this record.

The problem is you took out Evacuation.

I took it out, threw it in the trash, set the trashcan on fire, loaded the charred remains onto my truck, took it out to the far reaches of a dark forest, took a few shots at it with my shotgun, dug a hole, lined it with lead, carefully tipped the rest into the hole, popped a stick of dynamite in with it, took a dump on the whole mess, retreated to a safe distance and detonated the dynamite.

I DIDN'T DO THAT BUT EVACUATION HAS NO PLACE IN MY LIFE. THAT WASN'T EVEN THE QUESTION, DOUCHENOZZLES.

Thanks. :luv:

I have it between light years and evacuation. But with your song choices, i would track the album as such:

1. Breakerfall
2. Grievance
3. Fatal
4. Sad
5. Light Years
6. Sleight of Hand
7. Rival
8. Insignificance
9. Thin Air
10. Of The Girl
11. Education
12. Nothing As it Seems
13. Soon Forget
14. Parting Ways

However, I would replace Thin Air with In the Moonlight and switch spots with Of The Girl, put Evacuation in after Sleight of Hand, and remove Education. With a limit of 14 tracks, my list would look like this:

1. Breakerfall
2. Grievance
3. Fatal
4. Sad
5. Light Years
6. Sleight of Hand
7. Evacuation
8. Rival
9. Insignificance
10. Of The Girl
11. In The Moonlight
12. Nothing As it Seems
13. Soon Forget
14. Parting Ways

I have solved your problems. please send your thank you gift to my paypal account. PM for the details.

I'll try it earlier. It may work 'twixt Light Years and Rival. I really love Of the Girl as opener though, so I'll keep that. Unfortunately, I don't have "pals" so I can't pay them.

So I've never listened to Binaural retracked wtih the B-sides. Is there a retracking that is most popular? Preferably one that does not remove any songs from the album, only adds the B-sides.

I hope Ed doesn't find out you have a gun. He'll be angry, and you wouldn't like Ed when he's angry.

That's b/c Light Years is a completed song and Puzzles is not. Had they completed P&G, and replaced it with Light Years, Binaural would be an even better album.
