We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
I'm in the enviable positions of having dug their work and believing they have never put out a bad record. Some better than others, but mostly accomplishing a reasonable level of success in impacting me. Shockingly, though, I was having some trouble with SuperBlood, an now I'm really digging it. How did this happen? Seven O'clock is really nailing for me the feeling that I had in the first months after Orange Cheetoh got elected. That feeling of drowning and gasping for air and trying to find a way out of an impossible situation, I finally found a soundtrack to it. Retrograde is going to be a monster live, very Gigaton-y but also has a classic PJ build up. While I've really musically and vocally enjoyed the last few albums, I haven't felt a lyrical impact in a long time, and the lyrics are really cutting through me this time out. Still having some trouble finding my way in with Who Ever Said an Buckle Up, but even those feel worthwhile having on the record. Last time out, I pretty much discarded Let the Records Play and SBM and never looked back. I don't have any of those this time out.

I haven't reached for the lyric book so much since Yield or No Code. Last couple albums I just cast aside the lyrics (or just never felt the urge to dig in) and let the music flow into me. And it easily did and it was fun (for Backspacer alot of fun) and rewarding. Gigaton I'm pulling the lyrics out and really poring through them, I forgot about that whole experience.

Re: The Official GIGATON Thread
Sleeping By Myself was a nice Ed song. While I’ve enjoyed the PJ version, it always sounds like a Christmas album song to me. Very pop with those jingles. I feel now that BO’B was going for pop heartstrings way more than the band was.

This. The ukulele songs version is a really nice little tune. Should've left it at that.RockPusher wrote:Sleeping By Myself was a nice Ed song.
