Juvenal wrote:Obvious post is obvious but: Newalbumitis is always an issue; this married to the fact that many of the albums Ten-RA are associated with personal life events of people mean that it'll be difficult for Gigaton to break through. It'll be interesting to see where it sits in about a year's time.

For me, it aint going to break through the first 6, but it has a chance of supplanting Riot Act (which is an achievement itself). All I was looking for was a worthy addition to the canon, and I got that in spades :D
One of the reasons this one may stick is that there is a pretty decent chance it will be indelibly etched to this moment, and an important part if how some people coped.
Absolutely :thumbsup:

As a long-term fan, Gigaton feels like the band I fell in love with has finally come back to life. I never would have thought they had it in them anymore, but here it is. It's such a gift. The waiting drove me mad!

For now:

Ten
Vitalogy
Vs.
No Code
Gigaton
Yield
Self-Titled
Binaural
Riot Act
Lightning Bolt
Backspacer

Based on that criteria, I can only rank these 2:

1. Vs.
2. Yield

Absolutely loved them both on first listen. Vs. just blew me away.

(Can't rate Ten since it was already out for over a year before I heard it.)

Initially, I remember being:

[*]slightly upset with Vitalogy (too many "filler" tracks);
[*]really disappointed with: No Code;
[*]slightly underwhelmed by: Binaural, Riot Act, Avocado
[*]indifferent/questioning what I actually liked anymore with: Backspacer, Lightning Bolt

With Gigaton, I'll need some more time to see where it'll fit. But, initial impression is very good. It really sounds like something that will stand up with time.

They tend to shuffle a bit but I can easily spot Gigaton higher than anything since Binaural. I don’t know yet if it has enough to break into the top 6 but it certainly could.

No Code
Vitalogy
Yield
Binaural
Ten
Vs.
Gigaton :!:
Riot Act
Lightning Bolt
Self Titled
Backspacer

I'd reach for Gigaton over both Ten and Vs right now, but could only make that call after a year or two with these songs.

I've got to be a dozen + listens to this thing now, and i'm pretty sure this is the best thing they've released since Yield.

I am so f*cking grateful for this album.

Binaural: 1187 (Average: 91.3)
Yield: 1058 (Average: 88.2)
