Gigaton: Official album thread

[bune]

Looking at the tracklist, there are a number of songs that look superficially like they are lazily labelled...which is obviously always a bad sign. Literally every track from no. 5 to no.10 looks like someone was naming them while taking a shit.

as someone who couldn't tell you the name of a song from their last three albums without looking at the actual album art: really?

[McParadigm]

There are some dumb sounding titles on this list, and on literally every other Pearl Jam album.

if anything the new song titles have me intrigued b/c they don't sound like pj song titles of the past.

if anything the new song titles have me intrigued b/c they don't sound like pj song titles of the past.

And they feel pretty tonally consistent to me. Now, true, one could argue that tone suggests these songs were named lazily while taking a shit, but, still, I'm generally encouraged by the impression they give off collectively.

Something about the title "Who Ever Said" has me hoping it somehow becomes a top-20 song for me.

I don't pay much mind to song titles, but this is the one that's capturing my attention for some reason.

A tangent...?

It's a thread dedicated to the specific song you wanted to talk about.
