Gigaton: Official album thread

[Revelator]

It's become very fucking difficult to avoid these new clips, but I'm going to hold strong....all sounds very encouraging

yeah, i listened to avocado on vinyl this monday, and damn thats a good album. If they do avocado with a better production, which seems its a given, yeah this fucker could be great.

[Birds in Hell]

At this point I'm confidant we'll get at least half of an awesome album, which would put it in the same league as S/T.

This is where my expectations are too.

Every record from Binaural onwards, with the exception of the last two, has been a half-successful mixed bag with a few misfires. If the new album picks falls back into that pattern, I'd be happy.

I said it in one of these threads but when the first round of reviews came out I said everyone should basically be expecting something as good as S/T. This late in their career (and after the nadir of Can't Deny Me), I'd be ecstatic with that.

[evenslow]

It does sound more "experimental" than that, so that's encouraging.

Ed watching and loving the Brazilian Cover band. What a world.

Feelin' good, squad.

Quick Escape is very interesting.

"While Vedder has penned some indelible rock songs—“Yellow Ledbetter” is but one example—"

YL is not an Ed song in really any way. It doesn't even have fully formed lyrics.

That review just sort of...ends. Not a lot there. Interesting that of all the things he didn’t like, he likes Comes Then Goes. That one doesn’t sound super exciting.

I feel the same way. Not quite the fan boy reviews we’ve been seeing. Seems like this reviewer gave it a passive listen at best.

[Homeboyd]

I mean, when the first main paragraph has a line like "he’s beginning to sound a bit like Chris Cornell, who was always a better singer" you gotta wonder lol.

[Birds in Hell]

It makes for a welcome change to read something less gushing and effusive about the record.

I just send the new songs to my brother who trashes them with gleeful abandon...keeps my hype in check.

Brothaman speaks like he heard a sampler and not the full album.

[Jaeti]

You guys, I think it’s going to be okay.

Yeah, I think they did it.

[scrub12]

Tomorrow should be an interesting clip with Alright. Kalimba!
