Gigaton: Official album thread

[vedder316]

I wonder when I'll tire of this record. Feels like never. Sounds great on apple tv

Josh´s interview is great.

He is super articulate about the process and the songs.

[Ms Harmless]

Yea eds voice is definitely more front and center but if this was meant to be listened to it atmos surround.....surround sound....we're probably not getting the full etent with just a stereo speaker setup. yea?

honestly if this was available as like a downloadable "dvd" I'd be all over it; the big appeal is having all those videos on the same film so I don't have to watch them separately; but, if there's less guitar and Ed is louder, eh that sounds like Lightning Bolt

[VinylGuy]

I love Josh talking about how eerie this lyrics are in terms of the current situation.

Did yard work last night listening to the Josh interview, smiled the entire time--so insightful, honest, earnest, things really couldn't have worked out better, for everyone.

great, great part of the interview. Texted EV about just how relevant the lyrics seem to be to the current pandemic, sarcastically - "did you know?" Then JE quoted 3-4 lyrics from the record or a couple of songs that really seem to be about the current situation. Guy just seems super proud of the entire process and result, as he should be.

Also seemed very impressed with the rehearsals for the since postponed tour. Ed and Jeff on the Simmons podcast and Stone on Reddit mentioned how tight the rehearsal tapes sounded too.

Could you imagine being a super fan then getting a random job and then it becomes pearl jams butler and then you are on the road and seeing every show for 10 years then you all of the sudden produce their album.

What a lucky dog.

I dont know how you guys are listening this but it isnt just eds voice...my iphone did some sound switch 5/6 seconds after I played the video...and everything is mixed differently...the guitars on 7 O’clock are much more upfront...DOTC has aloooot more sounds in between the verses...River Cross has these Eddie hums behind the non singing parts...Alright sounds very different to me...all for the better.

I'm not listening to it, I'm just going by what others have said

[Ms Harmless]

if it comes out in a format that's accessible to poor people I'll get it

they should release the rehearsal tapes, they'd become collectors items in no time

[Leatherhead]

Think I'm gonna get the Gigaton cover turned into a poster, put it in a frame and put it on my wall.

Josh Evans is such a humble and laid-back guy on this deep dive...and, as an aside, yes, once again, you should all be listening to this album front to back...Not me telling you...That comes straight from the man himself.

Did you record this?

No, but...SiriusXM is free listening until May 15th! Check it out:

nope, i cant use sirius. Its not here in arg. dont worry hopefully it will find its way out.

Seems like there's a link being passed around via PM on the official board, going by the posts being made.

If anyone has it, I'd love to hear it.

Me too guys

I'd like this if it's around, please.
