Gigaton: Official album thread

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

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

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

I'd really love for there to be a Lost Dogs 2 with this on it. They managed to keep a lid on a lot of tunes for so long - I can't imagine there isn't at least a decent take or two in the vault. I wouldn't even be surprised if there's a 2x4 vocal take.

how good is Gigaton?! still can't believe how lucky we are, I don't need old songs

after a few full runs of the album and a day break, i gave it 5 stars. this is the best pearl jam has sounded in a long time. i dont want to say reenergized, b/c i feel like that goes back to the whole "return to form" bullshit. they just sound more inspired. for me, its something new. its like they stopped trying to "still" be pearl jam and they just recorded as pearl jam today. they recorded a dance song, or whatever category DOTC falls under. after hearing ed play 'river cross' solo, i never expected it to come out the way it did. there's heaviness to some of these songs i didnt expect out of this band either. there's also keys all over the place, a sitar to start the album, and whatever weird instruments jeff brought in. its a shockingly good surprise pearl jam is comfortable enough to go out of their comfort zone at this point in their career. i know it just came out, but early signs point to this being at least in the top half of pearl jam's albums.

I heard “gigaton” is the nickname for the size of the dump Mike took backstage at the 7/19/2003 show in Mexico City after eating some lingua tacos earlier that day

Of course, it will be on the eventual Lost Dogs 2.

And agree Cold Confession > Of the Earth

[Norah]

One of you jerks with the CD should give us a good rip.

I was always kinda glad there hasn't been a studio version. Didn't think they'd be able to pull it off. Although now hearing how great the heavy stuff on Gigaton sounds I'm starting to rethink that.

they couldn't have pulled it off until they started working with Josh Evans

[wilkins]

Yeah, let's see some pics of the booklet and a lossless rip of it while we're at it!

[bodysnatcher]

a BO'B produced "Of The Earth" would sound like a Wheat Thin

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i hope they do a studio version with Josh.
