retrograde and never destination are the only 2 that don't stick out to me. with that said, either one might be one of my favorites a month from now. this album is fucking impressive.

retrograde=mookie blaylock
never destination=ron croomer

Can't Deny Me is like the Brien Taylor of this era. The team thought he was going to be the next Sandy Koufax, but he never reached the majors and ended up in prison.

Buckle Up is the worst song on Gigaton. But I still give it a C+. I like it a lot more than a lot of my least favorite songs on the other albums.

Buckle Up is also my pick. It's an OK little song it just belongs on a Stone Gossard album. It's the Sleeping By Myself of Gigaton. The album needs one more heavy stomper there ala Quick Escape before we go into the quiet stuff to close it out. Would've pushed it to 5/5 for me.

You will all come around on Retrograde eventually.

For me it’s probably a tie between Quick Escape and Take the Long Way. Both are really good songs. And, like almost every song on this album, both are especially strong in the final 30-60 seconds.

Never Destination and Come Then Goes are definitely "skip" candidates

I think it's harsh picking a worst song since I really don't dislike a single song on this album. However, it has to be between Superblood Wolfmoon and Never Destination simply because those two are the kind of tracks I like the least from Pearl Jam. I picked SBWM because Never Destination is still fresh to my ears and has that outro which I really like.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.
