Gigaton: Official album thread

[Mike]

Time for a new record guys, I've written some spritzy punk rock songs

the guys

[ABNorman]

Why have they killed Mike and stretched his face skin over a mannequin?

[ABNorman]

My god!

He's been ate!

[Anders]

Why have they killed Mike and stretched his face skin over a mannequin?

He made a video last week about the breakfast. And he looked the same as ever. Cool guy. Don't know what happened when they took that photo. Maybe his dad showed up.

Which one has just farted?

[Anders]

Dime either listened to the album or he didn't, and then he either liked it or he didn't. What's the big deal? Why should that affect you? Move on.

Also, tourists, please stick around, we need new blood, hey have you heard of a subforum called Garbage Dump

He says he listened to the new album and didn't like it. That doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm just curious to hear more about it. I'll make my own call when it comes out no matter what the reviews say.

And yes, anyone new, please stick around.

Hard to tell, but Ed and Matt seem happy with the smell.

Why does that matter? We are all Pearl Jam fans.

Beautifully illustrating the point that the main reason most people don’t like Pearl Jam is Pearl Jam fans.

OK but you just shat on their new album

Pearl Jam and their music is suddenly a sacred cow here now?

Really? You definitely are new around here

we've got on well in the past, I thought

why are you being like this?

I was being funny.
I missed you here personally. And didn’t take part in any way in the events that brought about you leaving us. I’d just like that noted.

Thank you, Anders...You're a King amidst plebs.

To be fair I just posted saying I didn’t like it and got piled on rather harshly. Read back.

I’m nice too mostly. Join us in the Star Wars sub forum for real fun.

[Mike]

i'm honestly interested in some more specific thoughts about why you didn't like the album

Saying you didn’t like it isn’t really all you said, you said it emphatically like it was a fact it sucked and then cast aspersions on the kind of fan who would and wouldn’t like it. Then called anyone you don’t seem worthy of posting in the hallowed halls of RM, a tourist

Not really just saying you didn’t like it, is it now?

It would be nice if the album buildup could be enjoyed unfettered by the jaded ramblings of fans who seem to enjoy espousing how much they think pearl jam suck rather than giving it a go and letting it sink in. Surely you owe them at least that if you are bothered to listen to it in the first place? Some of their best albums need to be lived with for a month or two rather than a once through on computer speakers while you are semi distracted by something else.

I’m no apologist, I just took umbrage with your post and the above is why.

There were no aspersions cast. People here can and easily be catogorised into groups when it comes to the albums. . Some love backspacer some loathe it. Neither are wrong or stupid for either stance. That’s what I was referring to. There’s definitely a cohort that will love it and another that loathe it. That’s all I was saying.
I love Pj and have spent considerable amounts of money seeing them and Ed play live all over the states and Europe for many years. I’ll always love them. Not blindly though. That was kind of what I was trying to say if I said it poorly fair enough but I wasn’t coming at anyone for being excited or trying to dampen their excitement. Apologies if it read like that but a few of the posts before mine and certainly the utterly childish pile on afterwards tells its own tale about those people and nothing about me. There is no talking to people that have Pj (or anything) held in sacred cow status. As evidenced by the pathetic ad hominem that came after.

But here we are.

[burl jam]

What Freewheelin said. I'm a some time poster and long time lurker here. Dime came across a bit sanctimonious.

[Anders]

I agree with the holy cow comment. There are certain Pearl Jam fans that are holier than thou Ed can do no wrong fans. And that never sits quite right with me, as much as I love Pearl Jam. Not seen a lot of it in this thread though.

Be accountable for your words...Don't hand-wave your contribution to the reactions and act as though you're the victim who got unfairly maligned.
Joking or no, you insulted people who might hang around here more often were it not for posts like yours.

If the twenty regular posters here feel like it's their sandbox, that's fine, but, it'd be peachy if the people who enjoy discussing a new album cycle could do so without being made to feel like they should be aggressively weeded-out.

Thank you for the nice comment earlier. I hope you stick around. I do think you need somewhat of a thick skin on RM, not because a group of posters are out to get anyone new, but because we all post however we feel here.

[dimejinky99]

If in were insulted by that? RM really really isn’t for you. And that’s a statement of facts not any weeding.

And I really wouldn’t have the energy to engage with anyone that came with shit after it. They felt personally attacked or insulted cos of an opinion of a collection of songs. Simple as that.

I’m done. Good luck.
