That's enough time to listen to Gigaton all the way through like four and half times.scrub12 wrote:72 hours until good audio.

I don’t have a problem with the length but if it didn’t have Retrograde, I would have been just fine with that.

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
You definitely check this. This album is awesome. Track one is one of the best, please don’t skip it. This isn’t being exaggerated.96583UP wrote:I am part of the no leak club and barely check this thread at all because who fucking cares but i am starting to wonder if this will be like binaural where i put the album on and skip the first couple tracks because they actually suck compared to the rest of the album

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
He talked about showing up at the tail end of the Mirror Ball sessions and Neil telling him he should contribute one more song. When Ed told him he had shit for song ideas at the moment, Neil apparently told him to write one called I Got Shit.tragabigzanda wrote:what's the story?guitar_davey wrote:Ms Harmless wrote:I got shit
I was at a show in Buffalo where Ed told the story of this song's title. Pretty good.
Edit: other than the record company making them change it, I mean

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
I'll try this now. Nowhere near done listening to the full album, which I just did, but I think this will be a very enjoyable listen.Anders wrote:That’s a nice set.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I like half the album so I made it into a great EP:
1. Who Ever Said
2. Dance of the Clairvoyants
3. Quick Escape
4. Buckle Up
5. Take the Long Way
6. Comes Then Goes
Had they released that, I’d be thinking, “Holy shit, PJ is good again!”

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
What happens with the theater experience we think? Any chance they release it for free? I mean they presumably had a visual experience for all these songs, where does it go now?

Haha.....yes! I really like that flyer...Feels like I'm calling in to Art Bell Coast to Coast...No, Anders, my friend, no clips for me. Two singles heard, both singles checked for quality on the leak, and that's it.Anders wrote:I posted this in another thread, but ...oneway23 wrote:Still hanging in without listening...can't wait to hear what they've cooked up.

Very excited to get this from HDTracks on Thursday night at midnight. Not sure I'll be getting the CD from 10c, Inc. any time soon; even $6 in shipping on a $15.99 CD apparently isn't enough to beat back a virus

I don't like some of what I see as the poppier elements of WES; and it bothers me because so much of it is amazing, in a vintage PJ way, like really exciting (basically everything from "home is where the broken heart is" onwards)
I can't help thinking everything before the guitars come in on SBWM is unnecessary time-wasting
I actually like "Retrograde", but you can tell Ed recorded it earlier with BoB (ticks like pronouncing "the" as "thwuh"); but it seems like Josh probably turned his voice back down to meld with the rest of the songs, and let them have that amazing end section, so whatever
and that's it; everything else has surpassed my wildest 2020 dreams
