Binaural is Pearl Jam's sixth studio album, released on May 16, 2000. This is the first Pearl Jam studio album following the departure of Jack Irons, and features Matt Cameron, formerly of Soundgarden. Several tracks on the album were recorded using binaural recording techniques, hence the title. These can usually be identified by a warm sound to the music, such as the acoustic "Of The Girl."
