I felt bad I didn't own this one on vinyl after listening to several 2000 shows over the past week. 22 bucks on Amazon right now. Hope the packaging isn't shitty. I remember the CD being pretty cool.

Easily PJ’s most under-appreciated album in their catalog…

Yeah it can be anywhere from #2 to #5 depending on my mood. A great album! I mean Nothing As It Seems, Insignificance, and Parting Ways on one album!

Picked up a Binaural reissue from Ebay a few months back. Sounds great and not warped like the Riot Act Reissues. Packaging is nice - though not all the images are blown up like RA.

Especially like this one with a good pair of open back headphones. I think most agree it has aged really well.

This album is easily my number 1 pj album and its not even close.

Its sickening how good it is from front to back. Yes, even the production.

I almost pulled the trigger on the vinyl the other night, but my setup is so meager. just a Bluetooth turntable I pair with a couple of speakers. I feel like this album deserves better than that.

Great album, great tour. That tour might actually have my favorite set lists of all of their tours. The Binaural songs just fit perfectly.

That Greivance performance on Letterman was a perfect way to introduce the album. Still a top 3 tv PJ moment for me.

After years of looking, I finally saw a copy of Binaural for sale at the record store. $120. I passed it up. Great album though.

It's in the shop on their site if you've still got a hankering.

I like it well enough but it has always sounded like an album of b-sides to me. I wish I could appreciate its artistry a little more but Gigaton seems like they completed the thought running through Binaural. Yet I'd love to see a 2 hour 'making of' documentary on this one.

I think if Binaural was a double album sequenced with both the songs that made and didn’t make the album you might have felt differently.

I have this album high up - while I wonder how many of the songs they recorded missed the cut, the stuff that’s there is great, well sequenced for the album, and some of my favorite Pearl Jam songs reside here.

I agree that is very cheesy
