Binaural is so good

Well, the Blu-ray does display the lyric sheets on the screen, so that's a plus.

Definitely Atmos.

Was Thin Air always this good?

Yeah, but now the backing vocals are very present.

So the song is about Abraham Lincoln after all.

binaural moves up 2-4 spots in my rankings

This might be a dumb question but is there any way someone can up n share a link of this.. id like to hear it but I don't have the best audio in my house/tv so a blu ray (I guess I'd play thru my old xbox) would do me no good

I can't make myself like Sleight of Hand.

It took me a while with it. Still can’t get into NAIS, tho.

Insignificance and Sleight of Hand have always been my top 2 favorite songs on Binaural.

I struggled with the record when it first dropped in the sense that I thought it was far and away PJ's least accessible album (for me) at the time. I still liked it. But it felt bloated. There was a time when I only listened to the record as an EP:

Nothing As It Seems
Thin Air
Insignificance
Rival
Sleight of Hand

I've been working on it for 25 years.

Might be in my PJ Top 5. 10 for sure.

It definitely comes through better live.

I have seen sleight of hand live twice, nearly twenty years apart. Both times it was like opening an airlock

I've seen SoH once. It was about 2 weeks ago. It was outstanding. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have heard it. The two guys who were playing games on their phone and loudly talking to each other loudly the whole show seemed unimpressed

i was there. i assumed everyone on their phone was just checking it off of their live footsteps profile
