I thought it wasn’t that bad, ed sounds weird tho.
Wish dm sounded more like this, production seems ok here.

Present tense... Get it

damn what a fine, fine album

just like innocence...

was thinking about Sometimes today

Sometimes I think about Present Tense.

and I say "freakin' heck yes, dude"

All this Jack talk made me put No Code right now

Damn, Hail Hail is so fucking good. Jeff is fucking awesome but the guitars man, the guitarsss

yes

This and Riot Act have the best sonic space of the records I think. Slight edge to No Code.

One of their best. Sometimes is such a unique opener (up there with Can't Keep) followed by the power of Hail Hail, which is just a great rock song on every level.

The first listen to Off He Goes was so powerful for me that each one that followed was a diminishment, to the point I grew tired of the song, it wasn't till years later I could appreciate it anew.

Present Tense is one of their best songs, simple truth delivered with heavy crunchy guitars and groove and a memorable outro, the thoughtful power of Who You Are, the lullaby ending, it's great start to finish.

I would love it more if it All Night was on it.

A handful songs would have made it better.

All Night
Brain of J
Black Red Yellow
Dead Man

I remember reading on the Italian site that Parting Ways was recorded for No Code. Yellow Ledbetter and Hard to Imagine as well. The link to that site seems to be dead.

Yellow Ledbetter was already released.

I know. It’s interesting if they re-recorded it for the next few albums after that. I think that site listed Yellow Ledbetter as being recorded during each of the Vs, Vitalogy and No Code sessions but I could be misremembering. Who knows whether or not that site was accurate?

Add All Night and Dead Man. Remove Habit and I'm Open.

Add All Night and Dead Man. Remove Habit and I'm Open.

swap out mankind for dont gimme no lip and add black red yellow but only if they feel the need to have a stone vocal on the album otherwise dead man yes...

How about removing nothing and just adding all these ?

They could’ve done a 20 song double album.

Is a self-indulgent epic double album not the last thing missing from their resume?

They should have done this with Binaural
