Gigaton: Official album thread

[tree_]

Charred kangaroos = barbecued deer, not us just yet

[darthvedder81]

Well they are hash tagging #climatechange everywhere for this thing so I already know the lyrics/theme will be cringey. Whatever your stance on environmental politics do you really want this? An environmental screed of a PJ album? I doubt it. I am actually kind of intrigued if they go in a spacey/synthy direction musically. The artwork/typography gives off a bit of a “Binaural” vibe to me (which also involved a new producer). I’d be down with something more in that vein.

Climate change isn't about environmental politics it's about an existential threat to our planet. But who needs hard hitting, sobering subject matter when you can sing about the stupid bullshit that has been on the last two records, right?

That’s a false dichotomy. PJ/Ed can write interesting, philosophical and pointed lyrics without turning it into an on-the-nose musical diatribe. I hope they don’t go in that direction. That’s all I am saying.

These charred kangaroos in Australia are us, we just don't know it yet. But by all means, let's hear more about Johnny Guitars Future Days Seeing His Friend.

Where are the examples in this bands history of anything at all philosophical? Does Ed even have a GED? Regardless, there is nothing philosophical about science. If they've chosen climate change as subject matter make it on the nose. Bash our faces in with it.

The world can use a strong anti-arson rock anthem right about now

Two and a half months to wait seems pretty bloody antiquated.

[Bammer]

As long as the passion yields good, inspired music, I don't care what the message is. After all, who thinks about what even flow is about ever

I think of the homeless crazy guy in Pioneer Square every time, actually.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

yeah

Omg . The album isn't being.released before the tour. ?
That's moronic and assholish even

[Anders]

They did say, sometime around backspacer, something to the effect of “were just gonna enjoy ourselves for awhile”

Perhaps they are ready to get back to business !

[Matters]

That's moronic and assholish even

Yeah wtf? The Canada dates are before the album drops.

[Anders]

That is strange, but it will be exciting to see and hear what new songs they play.

Are you being serious right now? You need a GED to be philosophical? Do you know what the word philosophy even means? My larger point stands: they’ve gotten political many times without being overtly obvious about it (all of Avocado and most of Riot Act except for Bushleaguer for example). The earth is going through a warming phase. The how and the why and the what we can do about it are very much open for discussion as are the political ramifications. The current end of the world fervor actually seems more like fundamentalist Christian apocalyptic fear mongering to me ironically...

Nick cave dropped his last album with 10 days notice. Hard copies were out later.
