Is Binaural your number 1 or what?

man i think so

it's tough to call between binaural, no code, and vitalogy though

I still can't wrap my head around how Eddie Vedder has written Grievance, Insignificance, Parting Ways but also wrote Future Days.

Binaural, for me, perfect top to bottom. Its awkward as fuck and sexy as hell.

There are emotions that are sitting right below a slightly boiling surface. These emotions are never fully released and that tension held throughout the entire record is fantastic. The guitars are not cranked up in the mix, the distortion and tones used are subtle. Sleek yet vigilante. Not overdone or "bro'd out" like every record since. They let the songs speak for themselves. The songs are intense. The playing is precise.

Of the girl, grievance, insignificance, rival, evacuation, nothing as it seems - Forget about it. That's where the truth lies.

I remember everywhere she took me she would always run into someone that acted like they were her lifelong best friend. She taught me how to do puzzles as a young kid. She taught me how to play cards when puzzles weren't fun anymore. She taught me how to swim, and how to identify birds on our walks around the park, and how to mix a Bloody Mary just right. I remember when my grandma Dottie was sick, dying even, with chemo taking the last bit of strength she had even though the cancer inside of her continued to grow strong. I remember how unfair it feels to watch your family appear helpless as their matriarch is taken from them.
So I decided at about 11:30pm at the end of my shift, as I stared down at the flat top grill in an Applebee's kitchen that I was going to clock out and drive the 2 1/2 hours to her house, as I knew it may be my last opportunity. Binaural had been in my car cd deck for at least a few days, but the volume was down when I took off while I made the appropriate calls to those who needed to know what I was up to. I was only about 10 miles down the highway when I got off the phone, lit up a cigarette, and turned the volume up. Light Years came on immediately. It was like a message from god if there ever was such a thing. I cried. Hard. Some ppl may not be into that sentimental shit, but for me music should first and foremost make you feel. And every time I hear Light Years, I feel that love for my grandma, and I miss her, and that's a beautiful thing. That's all.
