V-58: Sleight of Hand vs. Rearviewmirror

[E.H. Ruddock]

LV, take a good look in the MIRROR and make the right choice.

[LoathedVermin72]

I think I need someone to give me a HAND.

[Strat]

Fuck RVM

[E.H. Ruddock]

I think I need someone to give me a HAND.

in the REAR?

[Strat]

Please vote for sleight of hand. Ive been sad lately and it would really make me happy.

[PHATJ]

I'll just leave this here:


Binaural used to be near the bottom for me too. Now it's my #2 behind only Vitalogy. But, like you said, SoH has been brilliant from day one for me. It was my second favorite PJ song immediately. And the only reason I favored Release was sentimental. After years of holding the sentiment in high esteem I finally just admitted that Sleight of Hand is really (IMO) by far the bast PJ song ever written. It soars, but it is dark and murky. It takes the listener into unfamiliar territory (at least for PJ) with exactness, but it feels like it could all fall apart at any second. It is absolutely riveting. The band sounds better on this recording than anywhere else in the entire catalogue, and Ed's vocals are deeply haunting and effective. It is Pearl Jam's masterpiece. Misunderstood by the many, deeply appreciated and loved by the few. I'm so glad RM is finally getting it.

I like your strategy. You should have including a suicide threat though.

[E.H. Ruddock]

please vote for RVM. I've been sick lately and it would really make me feel better.

[Kaius]

I'll vote for RVM if you vote for RM.

[Kaius]

And you have to publicly vouch for it.

I love RVM, its way up there for me, but I just listened to SOH on Binaural and then 9/5/00. I'm probably not changing my vote, but man SOH is pretty fucking great. whoa

It is the best PJ song.

Nah. But I'm good with Go losing to RM if it does. You seem to be forgetting in that thread that I was as big a supporter of RM as anyone on the board. I don't really care about this matchup either. IMT is out so that is good, and if Go loses I'm all in on Last Exit for the tourney win.

You keep saying you don't hate IMT but here we have more proof to the contrary. You just keep bringing up how happy you are that it's gone. Every chance you get. Even when it isn't already being discussed. You just really really have something against it. And that bums me out. I wish you got as much joy from it as I do.

Again, I don't hate it. I just feel as though it doesn't belong in top ten discussion. Had it made it to this round, it would have been in the top ten for RM. I'm just happy RM proves my point.

Now that your point has been proven, as you say, are you ready to admit it's not overrated?

Yes. I will never speak of it again.

You're alright, Ruddo. I'm glad you're around.
