Gigaton: Official album thread

[Strat]

Those two punk numbers are holding me back from loving this.
Just can’t warm to them at all. And so weirdly placed
I think I’m gonna swap them out with getaway and my fathers son.

I'm kind of stumbling over them, too, just waiting on at least one of them to grow on me so it's less noticeable.

To call these just punk numbers I think is selling them WAY short.

That’s it too. It’s like they’re competing. Why put them together?? Especially when the back end Is relatively slow

Just a guess, but they sound a bit like musical outliers on this album. So, get them out in front first.

IMO, the album's cohesiveness in terms of mood/vibe/theme,etc starts with DOTC. It would have been nice to have something to break up the end of this album a bit more.

Comes Then Goes would have made an excellent closer, as well.

Any chance for a link to a 320kbs version?

Hm, I hear more dad-ish rock songs on Avocado, BS, and LB than those 2. And, these guys are basically granddads now.

Just mentioned this in another thread but the album would be stronger IMO if you basically cut Never Destination...would also let Take The Long Way stand out more. ND is probably my least favorite on the album.

Think I agree with all of this.

pearl jam sucks now

[Farmer John]

I would take Never Destination and Take the Long Way over SBWM and Who Ever Said in a heartbeat.

Kind of want to lose SBWM and move Never Destination to the #2 slot

That's what I would do.

Make SBWM the b-side to the first single.

[scrub12]

Who Ever Said is light years better than Never Destination. Take the Long Way doesn't click with me, but I admit I'm not a big fan of Matt songs most of the time.

This is not the solution.

[Strat]

What are these supposed punk numbers? SBWM and Never Destination?

I think he's talking about Never destination and Take the Long Way to be honest.

We can have them all. But I like those two the best.

[ABNorman]

ND is probably my least favourite after a coupla listens.

TLW not much higher.

SBWM actually pretty high - it's really grown on me.

Ah, okay. I thought he meant Who Ever Said and SBWM.

Which would make more sense.

Though ill let him clarify, i think this is what he was telling me via text.
