Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
Hot take after one listen is that the back half sounds as if Pearl Jam made the Into the Wild soundtrack.

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
There is no doubt that I put this ahead of the last 3 albums. I wish Ed was 10 years younger for it but it is what is.

I guess we all agree that every single song on this album shits on Can’t Deny Me?

"Alright" into "Seven O'Clock" is a cool transition.
"Seven O'Clock" is a little too Springsteen for me but I like parts of it

I think CDM is better than at least two of these songs, maybe more. We'll have to see how thing shake out as I live with this thing more.Juvenal wrote:I guess we all agree that every single song on this album shits on Can’t Deny Me?
But I'm the world's only CDM fan so you can't trust my take on this.

Also, I like how connected these songs are. So many tracks have little atmospherics and noises and elements that bleed from the previous song into the next. I haven't spent enough time with it to comfortably call it a concept album or anything like that but those elements give a concept album quality that I really dig.

this thing really needed another quick escape rager towards the end to balance things out a bit.

I'm home for lunch, would love to hear from one of you personally about this.
edit: thanks! I am overwhelmed with love and support on this one, I got it.

I like this record. Seven O Clock is kind of a drag, but still on my first impressions.

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
big thanks to mr. josh evans on this one.
warm, inviting, open, little pockets of unexpected instruments filling the background gaps, songs that build and go places, fucking 70mm in technicolor!
