  1. I have a hard time deciding which I like better: Binaural or Riot Act.

    They are both better than "Avocado," imho.

    It is a good album - some great songs on it (and, unfortunately, a few clunkers). The band "underrates" it as well as they don't play the songs from it all that often - at least compared to most of their other albums.

    Do you plan to open your Man 2 CD's? My Toronto shows are still in their packaging!

    It's opened, but I somehow wish I didn't open it. The shrink wrap didn't look that good anyway - it was flapping over the top quite a bit.

    What songs from Binaural do you think are 'clunkers'?
  3. Evacuation (Matt Cameron isn't the greatest songwriter) and Sleight of Hand (just doesn't work for me - sorry, Ed) are the two that come to mind...Soon Forget is just okay - should be the final song on the album - kind of like Married with Children from Oasis's Definitely Maybe....I've recently gained appreciation for Rival.
  4. I'll admit Evacuation is bad. I don't mind Sleight of Hand though, and Rival is strangely satisfying - no idea why.

    I'd say Evacuation is the only wank song on the album really.

    Rival is much better live - as is most of the album - but this one really stands out (for me) in from of an audience. Two other songs that are good - just not great for me - are God's Dice and Thin Air. I like them - I really do - but I definitely don't "love" them.

    I agree,and Sleight Of Hand sounds very very very good live...Chicago 10.09.00 comes to mind....and Oslo 06.29.00....as top live versions..

    Deff agree here,almost every song from 1996-2000 sound much better live...
