Gigaton: Official album thread

[Strat]

The little tease they put up for Seven OClock sounded MUCH better than the leak. You could hear a significant acoustic guitar in that mix as opposed to what we have. I can't wait.

Gigaton review from Riff magazine:

https://riffmagazine.com/album-reviews/ ... m-gigaton/

lol. I could not disagree more with that review. Pretty much trashes every song as forgettable, no melody, nothing catchy but then this:

“Retrograde” may be the best song on the record. It may be Pearl Jam’s best song this century. Warm and mellow, at some point it really grabs the ear while building into something gorgeous and hopeful. Drummer Matt Cameron emerges past the halfway point, pounding out huge accents to well-structured melody. It really brings back some of the band’s best moments.

lol

Well he's right about Retrograde being a good song. One of the early reviewers on here said it reminded them of Better Days especially EV's vocals at the end. That has stuck with me.

but it's also got no vocals; are you sure you can't hear that acoustic in our version?

Grateful to whoever initially provided it, whether or not I've elected to listen, but, yeah, folks, the current leak sounds like doo doo butter...
Feeling pretty confident that the uncompressed CD is going to sound stellar, in comparison.

It never sounded as prominent as it did in that clip. But i haven't side by sided it since they put it out.

True.

[Mike]

yeah okay, I have to admit this leak seems to be really shitty compared to that

[Ms Harmless]

yeah! it definitely seems to

Hey guys

Just wanted to say hello

I think this album is incredible

Ive only had a few headphone sessions with it, as well as a few music room experiences

Amazing piece of music

Tough to criticize

Full of 4 and 5 star songs

Hard to digest, its so good, if that makes sense?

Flawless (almost, maybe?) transitions between songs

Its as good, or better than Riot act, and maybe even Binaural

Im stunned, really since i got it thursday, its scary good

Cheers carry on!

[wilkins]

Buckle Up tease just released, also sounds so much richer.

The fact that we're all loving the album based on a shitty quality leak lends itself to being an even better listen come Friday.

[epilogue]

This is probably a stupid question but how does everyone know who wrote what? I'm seeing a lot of discussion about this in the various threads. Are y'all just guessing? Or is that information available and I just missed it?

Thanks Anders!

That Evans interview was super interesting. If that’s how it really was recorded and he pieced everything together, then he’s the undisputed MVP.
