The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
It’s all very fascinating. It’s hard to imagine (yes pun intended) hearing Hard to Imagine in the context of this album. If anything, it could work to open the album as a sonic and thematic transition from Vs. into Vitalogy, which makes sense in light of the quick turnover between the two albums (13 months is the fastest turnaround they ever had between albums). Indifference > Hard to Imagine > Last Exit actually seems like a cool concept to bridge the two albums.
I know people love Vitalogy, but I always felt it was a missed opportunity towards reaching greatness. But with a few changes, replacing some of the weaker songs, with strong ones, as well as retracking it, and it could have been the band’s best album.

I've said it before, I love it for what it is, but we could've had the very best album had they only waited a bit more.

So simply from an arithmetic point of view
we would have ended up without Stupid Mop and Bugs existing
as opposed to us now having all those songs from the list AND Stupid Mop and Bugs
«The band wrote many of Vitalogy’s songs during soundchecks on the Vs tour, and most of the album’s tracks were recorded during breaks in the touring schedule. The first session occurred in late 1993 in New Orleans, Louisiana, where the band recorded “Tremor Christ” and “Nothingman”. The rest of the material was written and recorded in 1994 in sessions in Seattle, Washington and Atlanta, Georgia, with the band finishing the album at Bad Animals Studio in Seattle after the tour’s completion.
Before Vitalogy’s release, drummer Dave Abbruzzese was fired in August ’94»
Vitalogy: Released November 22, 1994 Recorded November 1993 – October 1994
Merkin Ball: Released December 4, 1995 Recorded February 1995
No Code: Released August 27, 1996 Recorded July 12, 1995 – May 1996

and somehow that would be BETTER?
Umm, yeah! We never needed Stupid Mop other than for nightmare fuel and Bugs is a B-Side at best. It doesn't make much of a difference if you're an all digital, spotify playlist kinda guy. But if you're a physical media kind of guy, just imagine that puppy on vinyl.

Like I wrote above, I think those two songs exist in the No Code era, but still, it’s about having a better album. Stupid Mop could have been a b-side to a Christmas single. Bugs a b-side to a single.
