I love Binaural as is, but I think Fatal fits the vibe of the record as well or better than Thin Air. You got a band really pushing their creative boundaries and then you had a simple strummer smack dab in the middle.

I love Sad, but don't think it fits and I don't think Education is any better than anything that's already there.

How does sad not fit as opposed to a song like breakerfall or gods dice?

I think Breakerfall into Sad into Gods' Dice sounds pretty fantastic.

I fucking adore Hard to Imagine. It's one of my top 10 easy, maybe top 5. But I can't for the life of me figure out which album to put it on. Definitely not Vitalogy. Maybe Vs... I don't know. No code? That's probably the best one. But where?

I think Vs would have been the one for it..it's a great transitional song from the ten songs into the Vs era songs..

If those songs were on there the first time we listened to them people would think they fit. If Nothing As It Seems was a B Side and someone suggested it should have been on the album some lug nut would say it doesn't fit.

I think those songs supply a certain edge to Binaural that's missing otherwise, but still have a certain tension that ties them in with alot of the other material.

A Mirrorball sessions version of that song would have easily topped the ones that currently exist.

I'm surprised how many people like "In The Moonlight". I thought Matt's songs were too "herky-jerky" for you people.
