I continue to maintain that "Binaural" is underrated.lol
Going off of memory, this is probably the hardest/fastest song since Grievence (2000), with the possible exception of Comatose (2006)....I'll take it

Well, unless the fact that it is bad vs. horrible, which I thought for a long time counts as underrated.

Definitely a weak album overall, more clunkers than good songs.I usually love reading your posts and unique tastes. You're wrong on this one though.I continue to maintain that "Binaural" is underrated.lol

The Binaural tour was ####### insane though. Saw them in Charlotte, Greensboro, Atlanta, Nashville and Houston that year. All the Binaural songs sounded much better live than on the album. I wish they still played Rival.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I like a lot of tracks on Binaural - I like it better than both Riot Act (my least favorite) and Backspacer.I usually love reading your posts and unique tastes.

I don't think any PJ albums are horrible...hell even bad. Riot Act is my least favorite, but it's still a pretty good album IMOMy current preferences (tiered)
1. No Code
2. Vs.
3. Ten
4. Yield
5. Vitalogy
6. Avocado
7. Binaural
8. Backspacer
9. Riot Act
I'd probably go (all-time rankings, not necessarily current faves):
1. Ten
2. Vs.
3. Yield
4. Avocado
5. No Code
6. Vitalogy
7. Binaural
8. Backspacer
9. Riot Act
2-3-4-5 are all VERY close and could easily be flipped. I still think "Ten" is their best, even though I rarely if ever listen to it any more.

You could ask me to rank their albums on 10 consecutive days and the results might be different every time. Binaural and Riot Act would always be at the bottom, but the rest are so great that it's difficult for me to rank them. Same with their shows. A few weren't great, the rest were off the charts.

EG, my comments were mostly tongue in cheeck. There is no right or wrong answer on which albums are best. Binaural just happens to be my least favorite. I like Riot Act more, and Backspacer is one of my favorites, even though I understand why most PJ die hards don't like it. I loved it.I don't think any PJ albums are horrible...hell even bad. Riot Act is my least favorite, but it's still a pretty good album IMO

To each their own. One of the things that makes PJ great is the variety they put out. Each album is unique, and they can play so many styles well.

It's all good, BD. Whatever makes your nips hard, you know? 
I just always see/hear PJ fans crapping on Binaural and while it does undoubtedly have a few duds, there are a lot of songs on there I really dig.

Wow, first time I've heard that. Why wouldn't any fan love this album? I thought it was astonishingly good, especially when you consider it's their 9th album.

I like Backspacer and avocado about equally - though they're very different - and better than Binaural (I agree that most of the songs are more enjoyable live), Riot Act, and No Code. I still carry my flag as the lone No Code dissenter around here. Still, being into so many live shows, either in attendance or just listening to the boots, has brought me around on 90% of the songs I didn't initially like on those records.
They don't quite have the licks to hang with the cream of the great classic English rock bands, but all in all they're pretty much the best ever. Given longevity, sheer quality of output and live performances. Stoked for another record and tour.
BTW I listened to Stone Gossard's new solo effort and :X

For some reason the sound of the new single and the name of the new album keep making me think of this:

Hope it's just as good.

I ####### loved when Ed did Bugs in the final Spectrum show. Easily one of the highlights of that run. Vedder + Accordion = Greatness (and a pants creaming).

I need to listen to MYM more, only 3 times so far, but I thought it had much more Avocado/Backspacer feel versus STBC. It all will come to fruition when they start playing these new songs live...then start the comparisons IMO. Probably starting as early as next week for some of you guys.

I gather from most of the posts here that I am in the minority on No Code in particular.
Hoping to get to either the Charlottesville or San Diego show.

Stayed at the Residence Inn Downtown for 2010 Hartford PJ show. Pretty sure I pricelined it. Huge room (hotel is all suites I think) and there's a brewery in the lobby. 2 blocks from venue.NajehHejan said:

My guess would be : your mom, your imaginary friend Lorenzo, and the bum you find eating his own shoe under the overpass near the arena.

With all due respect to the 10C workers who I'm sure are diligently working to get through this ticket drawing, this is horse####.

Scored Charlotte & Charlottesville.

In the tickets section, I'm still "entered", not WON, for Buffalo (my only entry) but it says it charged $155. I know two people that put in for Buffalo only and are confirmed WON. I know another that put in for Buffalo and Pitt and he has N/A where my $155 is. I'm thinking I'm good. The email/confirm process is tedious from what I've heard.
So was there ever any confirmation as to how the priorities were supposed to play out? There has to be a difference between my 1st for Buffalo and somebody else's 5th for Buffalo, for example.

If you were charged, you're good.
Live PJ!!!!!! First time in 4 years I'm going to a proper show (Music Midtown last year kind of sucked and did not quench the thirst). Can't frigging wait.

So for Charlotte, I have pit tickets. I've never done the GA thing except for festivals and I'm curious how this works. If I want to get reasonably close, I can't piss for 6 hours, right??

I mean it just says that on the ticket page...not my CC webpage which I have not checked. My status still the same.....getting a little worried.If you were charged, you're good.
Scratch that...officially unworried....I have an email! I will feel better when it says WON though.

So who all is going to Wrigley on Saturday. I'm sure its been discussed, but I'm an idiot. My brother http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showuser=18883 and I will be there, along with a group of 6 or 7 others.
Put in for 3 shows, in order of preference, Oakland, LA1, and Portland. Won all three for seated tickets, member #71,xxx. Worst tickets via the old system I ever had was LA 2006 10th row center aisle. I know I am not getting anything like that but this is my first show in 7 years after seeing about 50 shows from May 1992 to 2006. Pretty stoked about this tour, my daughter is 11 years old, and she has been hearing the wife and I plan this trip. Daughter pulled up the seating chart for the LA shows and wants to go. Wife said I can take her!
