the best damn ass-hat in town!
I guess when the book comes out those will be the official opinions of RM and will represent each of our feelings about each song going forward.

binaural’s got its moments, but its the highest concentration of bottom tier songs in their catalog.
For me.
And I assume everyone.
Just as I surmised.

I like Gods' Dice a lot now, to be clear - but Evacuation is top 10 material.
"Evacuation" and "In The Moonlight" are too advanced yet deceptively simple a composition for the band's regular wheelhouse, much like a Soundgarden deep cut.
Therefore a litmus test for jammer dumbass, of which there are many.

I didn’t follow this. I can only understand posts written in 4/4 time.

Three bars of 4/4 on top of two bars of 6/8 is just too much to bear.
"Future Days" cued up.
Matt Cameron, no royalties for you.
But tour starts in six hours, don't worry about rehearsal. Will that be an aisle or a window?

I'm just kidding Stip. I really love you. Just stay out of my crosswalk when I'm texting.

Parting Ways is as good as it gets. I would be sad to think otherwise.

Before I answer, can you clarify is this a hat that looks like an ass or a hat that goes on and ass?

You don’t want to know, best to just listen on repeat to “In the Moonlight” until it clicks

Evacuation, Grievance and Sleight of hand are Binaurals best moments... theyve never tried to get into that SOH space again and its a shame they havent. But it would be hard to replicate too. Something of a definitive PJ song that one.
