No other Pj record conjures up atmosphere for me, quite like Binaural..it's one of its few strong points.

i begrudgingly acknowledge that my half-baked trolling attempts are far more effective in the pearl jam forum than my fully developed ones are in GD.

i'm not saying evacuation doesn't suck; i'm just saying that by expressing it, i knew something wonderful would follow.

evacuation is one of the better moments not only on that record, but of that stage of their career.

Pilate is better than Big Wave which is slightly better than Evacuation but all three of them are fucking outstanding.

Big Wave doesn't belong next to the other two songs. It belongs far, far away.

I like Big Wave, but yeah, the other two are far superior.

Oh we talking just lyrical content? Then, yeah, Big Wave is the worst of those three.

Yeah, evacuation is a tough listen. I think I only every make it through the whole thing when I'm doing something for a thread

That's because you have the musical taste of a 17 year old in 1993.

"Evacuation" is this brilliant, jagged, malformed thing, and I for one am glad they made that song instead of another mid-tempo 4/4 soaring anthem.

When I was 17 I would have told you this was a great song because pearl jam is better than 99% of the stuff that's out there.

I like the music fine. I don't like how Eddie sounds and the chorus is horrid.
