Re: Gigaton: Official album thread
Haven't heard the album as a whole since the week it was released. The edited playlist I made for at least a month. Only played QE last week while having a drum.

Still listen at least three times every week. Often more.Strat wrote:I guess I’m alone here as a frequent listener of the album

Re: Gigaton: Official album thread
I would say this album is currently always in the large rotation. I don’t listen to it every day, or even every week, but it is still more of a staple than anything else when it comes to a singular album. I am sure to pull more listens from both Dylan and Young’s new albums, and listen occasionally to Marcus King’s new album, but none of them are sticking to the front of my mind in the same way Gigaton is. Perhaps it is because Pearl Jam is undeniably my favorite band releasing a fantastic new album that I keep digesting, or maybe I just love this album more than others right now. It’s in this moment, when I am not obsessively listening, that I can truly understand how I feel about a Pearl Jam album.

2-3 complete listens per week while running, plus a few more in the car. Although in the car it's mostly Dance --> Retrograde. Album is holding up extremely well for me.

Not for me- for me the chorus is very powerful and unquestionably adds to the song.tragabigzanda wrote:Listened to Comes Then Goes today on a quick drive. Would it be a better song if he lose the “comes then goes part,” and just broke the verses up with an instrumental passage? Maybe.

Re: Gigaton: Official album thread
Nope. It's the only full album I listen to these days. Everything else is just spotify playlists. Every time I want to hear Pearl Jam, all I feel like hearing is Gigaton.Strat wrote:I guess I’m alone here as a frequent listener of the album

Re: Gigaton: Official album thread
Still think this album is great, but of late I’ve been listening to my edited version of it. Mostly due to time constraints, but also these are the best 6 for me.
1. SBWM
2. Dance of the Clairvoyants
3. Quick Escape
4. Take the Long Way
5. Buckle Up
6. Comes Then Goes

This album is a joy to listen on vinyl. The sides are so fucking well balanced. Side A is my favorite.
