Gigaton: Official album thread

[Jaeti]

Ed's "ooohoo" at 2:25 on River Cross.

[Revelator]

Got my CD just now. The packaging is all shiny and the cliffs on the front are raised and textured. Packaging, A+

How does it sound?

Probably not up to anyone's standards on here, but I don't know when I'll have time to fire it up.

B, did your order status ever change to "shipped"?
I ask because my vinyl order hasn't changed at all.

Mine still says "Pending." I never got an e-mail or anything. I also ordered the LP/7" vinyl package, and haven't seen that yet.

Thanks for the info, was getting worried as mine still says Pending too and Friday's a few days out.

[Revelator]

is it just me or do y'all think of the earth could have had a place on gigaton? i'd love to hear a version recorded with josh.

Same here, but every time I've brought up Of The Earth in relation to this record I'm told to get the fuck out

I've thought about it. In theory, I think it would work great on the back end. But I also think I agree that it shouldn't be on the same record as Quick Escape. And, having heard Quick Escape, it's hard to imagine a studio OTE being as good, let alone better. I think we got the right song.

Made the same comparison, had the same thought

[Anders]

The album would have been better with a Quick Escape style and quality song replacing Retrograde.

[Tim]

Cold Confession also

[Ms Harmless]

Quick Escape works so well because it's the one surprise like it on the album

[elliseamos]

Cold Confession also

This.

I'm tired of talking about of the earth when cold confession is out there.

[Jaeti]

During my first listen of Quick Escape, I actually had the thought, "I no longer need Of The Earth." Like, I'll still happily take it in the future. But that space has been filled.

[Monkey_Driven]

Let it Ride!

[mikejasond]

Maybe Of the Earth instead of Retrogade?

[Ms Harmless]

OTE is screechy, the great thing about this album is that it isn't screechy

[Tsuga]

I don't know how old the Gigaton songs are, but I don't know why the band would be interested in putting 15-16 year old tunes on there. Fun to speculate though.

[Biff Pocoroba]

Mine shows as Shipped too but when I click on the tracking number it says label created but not yet in the system.

[SamHell1]

How good is this beatch?

[Hypnos]

Do you think that we ever going to listen a studio version of OTE?

[bodysnatcher]

mine has done that with every Vault order i've made. and one day, it just magically appears at my door.

My experience as well. I like to think Mike McCready delivers it in the middle of the night
