The Best Moment in...Binaural

[Alex]

evacuation was a dud when my 14-year-old ears first absorbed the sounds of binaural, and it's a dud now. all who deign it worthy are contrarians for the sake of contariness, aka certified members of the thodoxicon.

go eat a bag of dicks

[Alex]

it's in the same camp as big wave and pilate, in which eddie tunelessly yells a prosaic phrase over and over again until you just want to tug on his his amazing hair just to shut him up

[dimejinky99]

I always felt Binaural had an overall theme, or certainly at suggested atmosphere from beginning to end. I think it's good at that but just wish it sounded better.

I've always considered this to be a marked feature of the ten - riot act run.

Those are all good songs, Alex.

[Norah]

pilate is a fantastic song

[Birds in Hell]

Evacuation is even better!

Anyway, the important thing here is that Alex is wrong.

[Norah]

Indeed.

self titled on is devoid of atmosphere

[Jorge]

Just wanna say that Alex is wrong about "Evacuation".

You have to consider the whole post

Those are all good songs, Alex.

Like Pilate, Evacuation is so much more than its chorus (three bridges for instance!).

[stip]

Yeah but the bridges in these songs are also overrated (esp evacuation)

[ABNorman]

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Alex, but I am. On all three of the songs mentioned. Evacuation = total dud and isn't even in the version of Binaural I now listen to.
