Gigaton: Official album thread

[VinylGuy]

I love the bit about 7 o clock....So ed and josh were the ones who did the mashup. I agree with him that this one live could be fucking amazing.

[RockPusher]

Montana Jeff.

[guitar_davey]

This is amazing. This is the shit I love.

[Got Some]

If “Buckle Up” is the last Pearl Jam song I get to write I’ll be happy

[PHATJ]

This is amazing. This is the shit I love.

Super awesome. I have a two hour drive to make with my kids tomorrow and we’re going to listen to it again. I could listen to stone or jeff talk about Pearl Jam’s music for ... well, I’d listen as long as they would talk.

i have 20 minutes left on my walk so I just put gigaton on shuffle confident that there wont be a song I want to skip

[lecherouslittlestump]

[dimejinky99]

He was an evil Little goat goat goat

I grew up listening to Bob Dylan, he influenced my writing style, and I’m even related to him on my mom’s side, but I would rather listen to Pearl Jam’s worst stuff over his best stuff the grand majority of the time.

Thanks so much for this!

Con mucho gusto!

This is awesome!! He admits Jeff is the man now

Who is the other guy? Charles H??? Why is his voice modified??

[VinylGuy]

Its weird to compare gigaton with ...time out of mind?

Really weird choice.

yeah, who is that guy. He has some kind of effect on his voice it seems.

[VinylGuy]

they are playing Take The Long Way on rehearsals!! fuck yeah.

[VinylGuy]

Its so fucking cool to hear Stone so exited about Ed singing on Buckle Up and specially about Jeff´s work with bass and other stuff.
Its super cool.

[VinylGuy]

I agree with Stone and his views on Come Then Goes. Im glad they didnt overproduced that one....kudos to the band. Surprised on those electric guitar touches being made by Eddie too.

[EJ]

This is great, love Stone. It's great to hear him really enthusiastic about their music again. Hope this album inspired him to push forward with the band.

Charles H must be Dan, The High Talker from Seinfeld.

This is great; one reason Stone is such a compelling interview is that he speaks very practically and straightforwardly about the songwriting and recording process. Sometimes songwriters and musicians get so ephemeral in describing their process that it stops being mysterious and starts becoming tiresome. Stone really seems into talking about the nuts and bolts of how these records come together, which is refreshing.

yeah, 100%. Its refreshing and its actually way more interesting than all the other stuff. I found Jeff to be same.

I still really like this album and listen front-to-back once a week.

I think it's that good lyricists make bad interviews. Ed's a terrible interview because he speaks in metaphors and long stories. It's good for a fun conversation but you'll never learn about how a record is made from him. I think it's the nature of good lyricists to be searching for words and they just can't land a concise point like Stone does for this interview. I think Trent Reznor, an amazing musician, is a great interview but he's not known as a top shelf lyricist. Bob Dylan is not a good interview. I think there's something to that.
