My point is that, in terms of larger legacy, Binaural did none of those things. An album that set them apart or was a career milestone would be great, but that's not what Binaural is in the band's larger public story

I just hope they actually spend time in the studio and find a good spot in the music where Ed can really shine. A little more acoustic, but in the V/B/RA range. A Harvest Moon/Automatic For The People style record would really be exciting.

Agreed. If they can write that album I'd be shocked, but I'd be completely in love with it.

The band's "larger public story" ended with Vitalogy. Fuck the public. The band needs to make a creative record, something nuanced, something with a distinct direction. No more "writing songs for albums that will be fun to play live". Fuck that shit. Write something challenging. Push your comfort zones aside and find a new creative spark. Another album of retread schlock rock would effectively bore me into PJ death.
