Gigaton: Official album thread

[pappas]

This will be just the second PJ album that BoB hasn't had any involvement in, after S/T (third if you don't count his remix on Ten). Will be interesting to hear what another BoBless PJ album sounds like.

Ten - remixed
Vs - produced & mixed
Vitalogy - produced & mixed
No Code - produced & mixed
Yield -produced & mixed
Binaural - Mixed
Riot Act - Mixed
S/T - no involvement
Backspacer - produced & mixed
Lightning Bolt - produced & mixed

[Birds in Hell]

He subsequently remixed S/T too.

pearl jam sucks now

[Birds in Hell]

wait BOB mixed Riot Act?

Yes.

[evenslow]

wait BOB mixed Riot Act?

totally forgot this too.

[evenslow]

the long hand of BOB.

[pappas]

He subsequently remixed S/T too.

oh yeah, forgot about that!

so Ten & S/T were remixed years later, but he didn't have any involvement in their initial recording or mixing

I agree that several contextual things about the new record have been surprising (and for once not unpleasantly so) but I still have zero expectations about the new material itself.

I'm feeling a little melancholy that they finally seem to be coming at a new album from an angle that I've long fantasized about (new producer, a seemingly more open-minded sonic approach, etc.), but that they waited to do it until my level of investment was at an all-time low.

That's true, maybe the whole "Lightning Bolt" era has been an elaborate setup.

this is gonna suck

I don’t think it is. LB sucked. It wasn’t the first pj album that was disappointing, but it was the first that felt pointless and lazy. I’d be shocked if after 7 years, they made another uninteresting album. I don’t think this will match their early output, but I do think it will be their best album since Binaural.

I have a feeling that they had started making the album a while ago with BoB, then half way or near the end they (mainly Jeff probably) wasn't happy that it was gonna be a LB2 type record of more of the same thing they've done the past 10 years, and they made a collective decision to scrap everything, get a new producer, and start from scratch

Would love to get another Single Video Theory type doco about their time in the studio

you dont know what im interested in discussing!!!!!!!

[Tuolumne]

I would love it if we got each individual guy's vibe to come out. Get Matt's Cavedweller sensibilities, Jeff's stuff, Mike's projects, Stone, and Ed. Maybe sort of a composite of their side project personas. That'd be cool.

I'm more excited for this album than I can articulate. But there is zero chance it's better than Riot Act.
