Binaural: Official Album Thread

[lecherouslittlestump]

This has the weakest opening of any Pearl Jam album. The first three songs are all meh. Picks up with Light Years though.

Breakerfall/Gods’ Dice/Evacuation is definitely stronger than Backspacer’s start and Lightning Bolt as well.

And Ten and Vitalogy and Riot Act and Pearl Jam.

Bullshit. It's one of the best and you know it.

Seriously. Fuck the stump

what was the deal with this with the different producer and then they brought in BOB

I always felt like the first 3 could have sounded much better on the album and it would have made for a very different experience

[Jorge]

It was a Zack Snyder / Joss Whedon situation

[96583UP]

i was just reading the wikipedia page

NAIS' lyrics were written by Jeff, about growing up in Montana?

that's kind of lame

I always thought it was about John Baker Saunders

After all these years, I’ve finally come around on Light Years.

You might be right.

Our blossoming friendship just took a pretty big hit.

that song has just never done it for me. there are moments i like, but as a whole, it's one i skip often

[stip]

it's too clunky and calculated for the heart on sleeve sentiment in the chorus. The first verse is overwritten, too. Good bridge though, and I do like the second verse

[PHATJ]

It’s the last minute that moves the needle for me, so to speak.

[chewm]

I fucking love Light Years.

[wease]

I fucking love Light Years.

Fuck yeah.

[Monkey_Driven]

I fucking love Light Years.

Fuck yeah.

Light Years is a classic to me, and one of the seven or eight Binaural songs that should be counted among the band's absolute best. Its a beautiful, powerful song.
