i agree but it seemed like it happened really quick. like they did a 180 all of a sudden. i wonder what brought on that decision. maybe the documentary will shed some light on it.
Theyve stated that this attempt...was to gain more control over their music than they had with Sony. The target thing is/was an experiment and their ultimate goal since they busted on the scene was to have control over their music. I think they are doing a hell of a job

If them having more control means releasing S/T and Backspacer instead of Yield and Binaural, I wish they let their music under other people's control (whatever that actually may mean)

i was reffering to a few different things, like touring, Eddie's attitude, their music, and Target. it all changed just a few years ago, around ST i guess.

Half his career he was mocked for being a pissed off whiney rockstar
Now he's happy and some of his fans dont like that either.
I think he just realized what he had. "hey, i get to drink on stage in front of 20,000 people, make an ass of myself, crank the guitar and rock out"
Couldnt get much better than that.
Id be pretty happy too once I got over myself. Which i think he finally did. Just my opinion.
I think it was in the most recent ROlling Stone article, possibly Spin...where he mentions "we spent half of our career sabotaging ourselves, so forgive us if we try to enjoy it right now"

There was a time where I loved this song and would have given it a four, but these days I cant go higher than a three, there just isnt enough there for me to go higher.

that's when they were no longer affiliated with a label. This shouldn't be suprising.

was it really so terrible for them, though? like goofy hippy Eddie was dying to come out, but the label was so terrible to them it made him so angry.

What did fans in 1998 think when they started making music videos again, doing media appearances, and using Ticketmaster?
1998-2000 very limited Media, Videos did not include band members, and TM was a necessary evil.
But, could it have been seen as hypocritical just based on their stances from only a year before?
I suppose it could be taken as mild hypocrisy, but they were still pretty much extremists within the industry... so they moved from Che Guevara to Fidel Castro... big deal

i'm not sure fans liked the no video policy. I was thrilled when they got rid of that. And the no code tour was a pita, so the ticketmaster thing was just more convienent.

Can't tell if this song is meant to be a humorous observation on society or a sad reflection on the rat race, kinda like in the same vein as Sleight of Hand. Either way I like it a lot. And it does make me sad. I usually hate the uke sound, but I really do like it here (although I wish to god that I had a version of this song that was on acoustic guitar rather than uke) Been kinda sad an reflective lately, thinking about life... this song kinda makes me take a step back and take a deep breath and look for a sign that it's gonna be okay.

Always liked this cos of it's unique novelty value in their catalogue. Don't know if Binaural could have been better had Fatal or something on there in its place, but it'd sound wrong now without it. Always liked it, never sure why. 4 stars.
