Gigaton: Official album thread

[guitar_davey]

Jeff Ament is the GOAT.

[gardenparty]

PM please?

[evenslow]

only at 7 O'Clock right now but I definitely feel the warmth of Yield on this. so so so much better production than BS and LB.

[Homeboyd]

Take The Long Way could be a grower...it's definitely a Cameron song

[Fattie_Vedder]

Keep paying forward, guys. I've linked a bunch of you and now need to go do some work so I can then hopefully find an hour to listen. Loving the early returns. Enjoy.

Thank you for doing your part Jaeti. Would love a PM here from someone!

it is a very open/hopeful sounding record

[Ms Harmless]

this album would have made complete sense after ITW

[Huell]

Release it officially tomorrow morning ya dicks!

[LB10]

My kids are going to home in a hour and a half. Any help getting this before then would be appreciated!

[Fattie_Vedder]

Thank you Mcparadigm and Juvenal! I promise I’ll PM others after I get out of this 1.5 hour training. Uhhhh do want to listen to this right now

[scrub12]

Not sure on the quality of this. SBWM sounds not as good production wise to me than the official release. I'm bad at this stuff, though.

[Juvenal]

So not one to jump to conclusions so quickly (heavens no) and being a fan boy is so tiresome but FUCK ITS A GOOD ONE THIS!

[vedder316]

fuck this is pretay, pretay, pretay good. Digging the f out of seven o' clock

[dad]

one listen through whilst working, and it's a winner. best since S/T for sure.

a couple of misses - don't really care for SBWM or Retrograde. I'm sure over time that may change.

[RAG319]

Overall Impression after first listen: Good record. I'd put it on par with Avocado. Better than Backspacer and LB by a mile for me personally. Got a lot of latter era Zeppelin vibes from this - In Through The Out Door in particular. They did a nice job with atmospherics on this one. Loses some steam in the last three a bit, but that was expected.

Favorite Tracks:

Take The Long Way
Quick Escape
Alright
Buckle Up

[JuanHamm]

Halfway through one listen and it just feels so much more natural than lb and bs.

[Birds in Hell]

Not sure on the quality of this. SBWM sounds not as good production wise to me than the official release. I'm bad at this stuff, though.

No, I agree, I think it’s probably been transcoded and seems a bit lacking quality-wise.

Looking forward to the official FLACs next week.

[evenslow]

so funny i read all those reviews from writers and listening parties and it sounds so different from what i was expecting.

that's a good thing. if this record were a song it would sing "I'M OPEEEENNNNNNNNNNN."

finally some songs with a vista view approach.

[kurtman44]

Hi long time watcher first time poster. Could someone send me the goods please. Thanks

[oneway23]

vista view approach.
