Gigaton: Official album thread

[FlatSideofaDog]

DOTC through Seven O'Clock is a helluva run. possibly my favorite run since Lights years-Of the Girl.

I'd start with Who Ever Said in this run. I'm shocked. If the album version is any kind of improvement on this copy, it is going to be amazing.

Agreed. For me it's almost all fantastic. Take the Long Way and Buckle Up are the only ones I'm skipping right now.

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that this album sucks ass?

BAN

[dad]

Not that it matters (IT STILL MATTERS TO ME) but MY WIFE who has seen the band more than 20 times but is not a fanatic by any means says:
BUCKLE UP
COMES THEN GOES
RIVER CROSS

These three are where I'm at, but River Cross is probably above Comes Then Goes if we're ranking. I really love what they did with River Cross.

Getting this album off the computer and into my car and my stereo was a godsend.

[Ms Harmless]

wonderful, front to back; zero skip tracks

[dimejinky99]

Take the long way and never destination are such chores. Wtf were they thinking

Ugh

[daft twat]

Would it be okay to have a separate thread for the lyrics? I’d love to listen and read along.

Ugh

Sorry Dime, but I think they are both upper half quality songs.

[Teeeeeekay]

For anyone to say this album is NOT good, is asinine.

The guys guys are in their 50’s?

This record is fantastic. It sounds amazing. The band sounds great.

Eddies songs are pretty great, Comes Then Goes is soooo good.

I was high as shit, which song has the Tom Petty song in it?

Never Destination

Thank you. Lol. I knew I wasn’t too high.

Hey if they’re blowin your hair back, brilliant. I just always been allergic to Pearl Jam doing this kind of thing. And at this age. Just never lands for me.

[nomorecrackpipes]

Listening to Quick Escape in the car made the song even better - I hope I get to listen to that one in an atmos setup one day.

we have lyrics for a few songs in the main posts of each song thread - where we have had people work on them so far

I actually think Never Destination sounds great coming out of Seven O'Clock and there's much more to it than a standard spritzy PJ by numbers track. It's gonna be criminally underappreciated but I feel the same way about Swallowed Whole so...

the car and the stereo were two different things in my post.

Swallowed Whole is probably the most underappreciated Pearl Jam song of all time.

[Habitman]

While acknowledging the current honeymoon phase, i think its likely this record has produced at least two songs (Quick Escape/DOTC) that can safely stack up to some of their best work.

With several others that can find a place in our hearts (Comes Then Goes, Buckle Up, Seven O'Clock, River Cross, Alright, Take the Long Way).

Yeah, at 3:47 in ND it's like a Petty tribute! Almost takes me out of the song (I had earlier posted in error that it was in 7 O'C.
Assume the Petty tribute is just that, related to losing him recently.
