Not my fav album I’m sorry to say. Not to say it doesn’t have amazing moments but as an album it doesn’t really flow.
It is a logical follow up to Yield it just wasn’t executed well imho.
it’s the first of Pearl Jams “what could of been” albums (avocado is the Second). It’s where the band started to double guess themselves and lost the original vision of what they were trying to achieve.
Binaural suffered more for me after Lost Dogs came out and I heard Fatal/Sad/In The Moonlight. How were they left off this album ??
If I could go back in time I’d give Ed double whatever Cornell was going to pay him as a bet about “Soon Forget” Being on the album.
How could you cut the above songs but leave “Soon Forget”. It would be like Bee Girl replacing Small town/leash on Vs.
Was this when The “it’s all about the music” mantra was replaced by Ed’s ego ?
It could of been cool As a double album.

This is definitely the one that should have been a double album. We could go back and forth about sequencing, but this was where they had the most outstanding material to play with despite Eddie’s infamous writers block.

Listened to Got Some's tracklist, swapped Other Side with Strangest Tribe.
It pretty much confirmed this is my favorite album and period of songwriting from the band. Just an incredible collection of songs, with everyone finding meaningful ways to contribute.
