Oh he deals em off, off the top, ties em off
Fills it up, with his past, gets carried away
Oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away
Of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl
Oh he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway
Oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
Fills his night, with the thought, of a girl
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway

It is also an accurate depiction of the polar response pattern of a "binaural recording microphone head". Very interesting!

Cool... did not know that.

So now I'm wishing they had rotated the image on the album cover by 90°, a better visual match to the aural experience.

Did you listen via headphones? Because the album has been recorded to be listened to via headphones. Thus it's name: Binaural.

To all the "I hate Pearl Jam but dig this song" folks out there, Pearl Jam is not Ten and Versus.

They have been around and maintained a very large fan base because they are a collective of 3 brilliant songwriters and two other viruosos who also contribute to the writing.  Each of the 5 has different influences they bring to the table.  Each of them gets the time to stretch out and pursue other musical and art projects. 

They are not Eddie.  They are built on the foundation of Stone and Jeff who were writing separately and together many years before PJ.  They have a top ten lead guitarist in Mike and a top five rock drummer in Matt.  They are a band in the true sense.  Check em out.

oh he deals em off, off the top, ties em off
fills it up, with his past, gets carried away
oh half his life, a hand me down, wasted away
of he fills it up, with the love, of a girl
oh he left it alone, drilled the pain, with money to buy
how he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
fills his night, with the thought, of a girl
how he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway
how he makes his getaway

hola,  that's 'cuz this is actually stone gossard. i mean it's pjam but it's really gossard. he wrote it,laid it all out,played guitar,even recorded it at his studio i think. plus the binaural recording techniques weren't their ideas either, they used a different producer...plus throw in matt cameron....

Great album by a band that most people don't understand how diverse their music is.

Comes from having 4 very very strong melody/music composers with varied influences - sorry Mike - and a great lyricist.

Definitely an underrated but very fine album.

If all you know is Ten and Vs - try this out.

Or get the Lost Dogs package of rarities.

Don't worry. Based on album sales numbers you weren't alone.  But now you can make amends and join those of us who stuck with them.  More importantly, don't miss them live next chance you get.

As of 2000 this is where there early album sales were:
*Ten : 11 million copies in the US (last certification 8/06/99)
*Vs. : 6 million copies in the US (last certification 3/16/95)
*Vitalogy : 5 million copies in the US (last certification 10/13/95)
*No Code: 1 million copies (last certification 1/08/97)
*Yield: 1 million copies (last certification 3/13/98) (this is approaching 2 mil)
*Live on Two Legs: less than 1 million
*Binaural: approx 1 million**(gold certification 6/25/00)
*2000 bootleg series: approx 1.25 million combined**

Many years ago I was visiting my sister in San Francisco. She lived at 8th and Lincoln, right by the park. One day, Pearl Jam was playing in the park, and we could hear it quite well from her living room. After a while, I said, "But that's Neil Young singing." We were close enough to be able to tell. Later we heard that Ol' Neil pinch hit for Eddie. It was a great afternoon.
