Top 5 song and easily their most underrated. The hate it gets here is absurd.

Strangest Tribe, Insignificance, Oceans, and Faithful are typically in those spots.

Great top 5.

"Evacuation" is interesting in that it's abrasive as all hell but also one of their most thoughtfully composed songs. I love it.

Every song on No Code, sans "I'm Open", is better than Evacuation.

Every song on Yield is better than Evacuation.

The majority of songs from Vitalogy, Vs., Ten, Binaural, and Riot Act are better than Evacuation.

Some of the songs on Avocado are better than Evacuation.

None of the songs on Backspacer or LB are better than Evacuation.

Songs from Backspacer that are better than Evacuation:
Anything other than The Fixer or Force of Nature

Songs from Lightning Bolt that are better than Evacuation:
Anything other than Let the Records play. And that's only because the chorus to Let The Records play sucks so much.

Spot on. Fun tune to jam on guitar too.

I'm not a huge fan of Evacuation, but lets not get carried away here.
