Don't care for the title or the name of the first single but none of that matters. What do we know about the guy producing it?

Worked on shitty Matt Cameron/Jeff Amet albums as well as a shitty Soundgarden album

I'm sure Ed's breathiness will still annoy me, unless their new producer got him to change up his technique and/or mixed it a bit differently, but I think this band is about to get back on track
God, I hope you are right. I want to be in love again.
Do you believe global warming is a hoax?
If you are asking if I’m buying tickets to a show, no, I’m not.

Will you be able to love knowing your lover isn't even based on real concepts?

“Making this record was a long journey,” explains Mike McCready. “It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on Gigaton ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times."

Single released in coming weeks.

FYI, $12 shipping isn’t so bad for a Gigaton of material. (First pun on the new album?).

Pearl Jam in the 20’s “we believe in sustainability and even have an album devoted to global warming...and we only use one side of the plastic for music.”

Fat Tim's health insurance premiums must be getting out of control for them to be charging such ridiculous shipping fees.

It will be interesting to hear how they re-contextualize the last few albums in light of this one (given Eddie's comments referenced a few pages ago)

It’s mostly for handling.

I remember seeing Josh Evans floating around setting up Kim Thayil's stuff when I saw Soundgarden 2012 and then noticing the same dude doing the same for Boom's keys when I saw Pearl Jam in 2014.

He's in this rig rundown video demoing Kim's pedals and amps:

I have already posted the tracklisting.

The tracklist you posted is totally bogus.
