The Best Moment in...Binaural

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

"Evacuation" weeds out the musical pussies in the fanbase.

Definitely. They love listening to that song.

[dimejinky99]

No other Pj record conjures up atmosphere for me, quite like Binaural..it's one of its few strong points.

[Alex]

i begrudgingly acknowledge that my half-baked trolling attempts are far more effective in the pearl jam forum than my fully developed ones are in GD.

[Alex]

i'm not saying evacuation doesn't suck; i'm just saying that by expressing it, i knew something wonderful would follow.

[dimejinky99]

evacuation is one of the better moments not only on that record, but of that stage of their career.

[epilogue]

Pilate is better than Big Wave which is slightly better than Evacuation but all three of them are fucking outstanding.

[Norah]

Pilate > Evacuation > Big Wave

[EJ]

Pilate > Evacuation > Big Wave

Big Wave doesn't belong next to the other two songs. It belongs far, far away.

[Alex]

Pilate is better than Big Wave which is slightly better than Evacuation but all three of them are fucking outstanding.

counterpoint: got me a big wave ride me a big wave got me a big wave

[dimejinky99]

Pilate > Evacuation > Big Wave

Big Wave doesn't belong next to the other two songs. It belongs far, far away.

Over the horizon far...in a galaxy far far away far..

[Strat]

I just confirmed, on the drive into work, that Evacuation is indeed - fucking awesome

[Norah]

Pilate > Evacuation > Big Wave

Big Wave doesn't belong next to the other two songs. It belongs far, far away.

I like Big Wave, but yeah, the other two are far superior.

Oh we talking just lyrical content? Then, yeah, Big Wave is the worst of those three.

[BigRedLedbetter]

There are people who dislike Evacuation? That is a thing?

Scratches head.

[stip]

Yeah, evacuation is a tough listen. I think I only every make it through the whole thing when I'm doing something for a thread

[Jorge]

Yeah, evacuation is a tough listen. I think I only every make it through the whole thing when I'm doing something for a thread

That's because you have the musical taste of a 17 year old in 1993.

[Jorge]

"Evacuation" is this brilliant, jagged, malformed thing, and I for one am glad they made that song instead of another mid-tempo 4/4 soaring anthem.

When I was 17 I would have told you this was a great song because pearl jam is better than 99% of the stuff that's out there.

I like the music fine. I don't like how Eddie sounds and the chorus is horrid.
