Gigaton: Official album thread

[bune]

thanks for the info!

i don't really like anything he had to say!

this was hilarious, thank you.

[Jorge]

Yes I could

[scrub12]

There is no way this is electronica. Wtf.

[LoathedVermin72]

And describing this song as "electronica" will get you laughed right out of the EDM convention

you couldn't pay me enough money to go to an EDM anything.

We are well aware

Why do some Pearl Jam fans always think in terms of setlists, what will or won't work in a live setting, or what "brings the show to a halt"? What a weird way to approach art

i don't mean it that way. i was just using that as an example of how so many PJ fans on here seem to dislike the very style/songs that made them popular in the first place: hook-laden, guitar solo, emotive rock songs. i realize they've done that very well numerous times but guess what - that's been happening for 70 years. perhaps there are still really good songs like that out there to be written? i'm not saying i hate DOTC but i find it nowhere near what i love about PJ.

I'm not a fan of DOTC either but I think it is cool that they're trying something new for them, especially after what could be their career nadir ("Can't Deny Me"). Those old songs aren't going to disappear from their repertoire.

CDM was not good. does that help my alternative/indie street crew with the board?

spritzy punkers

spritzy punkers

better than pritzy spunkers, yanno?

I don't know what to say here, MikeyIsGod

i'm just very surprised at how much this board seems to rips on the majority of music they've put out that isn't weird or unconventional. few notable exceptions, like stip, who appreciate that these guys have tried different flavors of the same genre - that that is their bread and butter - and that maybe venturing out to a completely different genre is going to put a lot of people off. i wouldn't be Cardi B fan and be stoked she decided to change it up and sing a country song. i wouldn't call that brave or ambitious. some artists thrive at something and and history has shown much of the time when they try to reach for something uncomfortable it comes off contrived and just plain poor. why this board is gaga for what PJ doesn't do best is beyond me.

But what if you genuinely liked Cardi B's country song

[Birds in Hell]

There's lots of love on RM for Pearl Jam's more straight-ahead rock material, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, that's a weird take.

haha i'd wager that that fan happens to be a country fan (and therefore probably not a Cardi B fan).

[bodysnatcher]

It’s funny that anyone is suggesting DOTC isn’t rock music

drum machine + synth + droning bass line = electronica.

i understand matt recorded the drums live tracing over his drum machine loop but the soul of the song is electronica. just because there's a hint of guitar from mike doesn't make it rock.

This is a weird wager. People can like more than one genre

Your thinking on this stuff seems to be very limited. You can like more than one kind of music.

[WtOB?]

of course it’s rock ya bloody boomer.

Yeah, that's a weird take.

while the last 3 albums were not legendary there were definitely some solid songs on them. songs i enjoy hearing frequently. this board slags off pretty much everything after Riot Act on a consistent basis.

That’s because those albums are straight trash

mikey don’t be so resentful, clean your room.

i'm speaking from a probability standpoint. my guess is that Ven diagram is probably nearly just two circles.
