I still think Insignificance is let down by the performance and production on the album. It feels repressed and contained and weighed down. The chorus needs to be a lot faster, louder, and more intense. The song just slumps into malaise in its current form.

I think the song fighting against that containment is what makes it such a great listen. I love how the song feels like a pressure cooker. That song could explode at any moment and the band is doing everything in its power to keep that from happening.

That's the point, though. It should sound like that, but it doesn't. I get no pressure or intensity at all. It's just sluggish and dull.

I'm glad I don't hear it the same way you do, then. Because from where I'm sitting, it's eargasmic!

this really hit me in the loins.
They don't call me "Ol' Loin-Puncher" for nothing.
Grievance, but this may be the strongest collection of songs left.
I'd say Insignificance is the band's best song, and a lot of that is due to the studio take; barring 2000, I'm not sure the band has ever consistently measured up to that version.

I don't think it's crazy to say the studio version of "Grievance" feels a bit muted. I generally believe Pearl Jam songs are better in studio than live, but the 2000 live versions of "Grievance" displayed an urgency and aggression that are missing from the studio cut and really benefit the song. Also, the low end is kind of thin. This is not a general problem with all Binaural rockers; I wish they had recorded it like they did "Evacuation", which sounds great.
