Gigaton: Official album thread

[RAG319]

Alright work is done. Joint and beer in hand. Time for a second full spin....

[Coach]

I know this doesn't matter much, but it would be nice to see this effort net a grammy award of some kind that's not art album related.

[dprival78]

i was going to wait.. but fuck it. we could all be dead by next friday.

would anyone be so kind as to share a link?

edit: all set, thanks all who shared!

[tmsnyder01]

I'd love a link please

So first impressions on shitty headphones at work:

Who Ever Said ***1/2
Great start that kinda flatlines

Superblood Wolfmoon ***1/2
Fits better here than a single if that makes sense

Dance of the Clairvoyants ****
Definitely the Who You Are of Gigaton

Quick Escape. *****
Fuck where has this band been?

Alright. ****1/2
Love this song. Heavy Yield feel.

Seven O'Clock ****
Flows sooo smooth from Alright

Never Destination. ***
Stop doing this song Ed. Just boring.

Take the Long Way. ****1/2
Next to Quick Escape it's the best rocker. Guitars are razor sharp.

Buckle Up. ****
Lovely quirky Stone. Really good.

Comes Then Goes. ****
Solo Ed and needed more of that guitar at the end throughout but really fucking good.

Retrograde. ****
Kinda ehhhh front half with a terrific second half that saves the song.

River Cross. ****1/2
Long Road pt. 2......just shows what they can do to a good demo as a band and really take it to the next level.

Bottom line:
Settles in behind Riot Act as a really good to great album. Avocado to LB to me are the lost years and the band that was on a journey with Yield/Binaural/Riot Act has finally returned. They swing hard here and it's really good. Really good.

Well there it is.

Hope you all love it.

Thank you mystery poster

Been a fan of this band for so long, thank thank you Pearl Jam! This is what I needed

[dimejinky99]

Who said bullet the blue sky?

Someone earlier.


Can totally hear that now

[Jaeti]

I got to give it a cursory, superficial listen while working earlier, and was pleased and borderline shocked, especially at "Side A."

Gonna take it out in the car this evening and play it loud.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

FOR REAL! Probably the most Pearl Jam has sounded like Pearl Jam again. God, I missed this from them.

[tree_]

Okay I definitely like this a lot more after listening to it on my high quality speakers at home. I daresay super blood wolf man too. Not great but better

[wilkins]

[VinylGuy]

First listen and feels like the old days were there were lots of thing to unpack from a PJ album

Not sure how i feel about some songs, but the first batch is fucking good.

Ill listen to it again and try to make a quick review.

[Ms Harmless]

it flows beautifully, I don't think there's a single transition I don't like
