[evenslow]

the visualizers are pretty damn top notch.

yep

[Ms Harmless]

I love them

I kiiind of wish they'd made one for SBWM, but I get why they didn't, they don't want to take the spotlight away from the Tiny Concert collab

This seems like a thing now, where parts of the video play within spotify. I've seen it with Grimes and Nathaniel Rateliff recently and now with Gigaton.

The last 30 to 60 seconds of almost every song on this record increases it's score by at least .5

Yeah. Maybe literally every single one.

this is the exact kind of commitment and attention to detail that was sorely missing on Backspacer and LB.

Ha, in Pitchfork/Pearl Jam context, that review is nearly glowing.

[darthvedder81]

This is the real Pitchfork review: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/pearl-jam-gigaton/

They gave it a 6.2. I think they started reviewing albums with Riot Act. These are the scores:

Gigaton: 6.2
Lightning Bolt: 5.0
Backspacer: 4.6
Avocado: 5.5
Riot Act: 4.9

In other words, the best album since at least Binaural. =)

I hear “Pitchfork” given all this great import on this site and others. Why the fuck am I supposed to give more weight to their review than other music sites again?

[evenslow]

from the Dynamic Range Database - Gigaton scores an average of 7 on a scale of 0-14+. right square in the middle. the most "dynamic" tracks are Alright and Comes Then Goes.

My wife was watching HGTV this morning and a commercial for the album came on. It was just nature shots during the chorus of Quick Escape and "available now".

Boys, we've reached Mach V

I foresee big fire pole debates coming.

It's just a point of curiosity at this point.

Just went back to read their reviews of BS-Gigaton. They do describe the flaws of pj albums quite well.

I find it odd they liked Retrograde so much
