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.

Same here, I think I kind of burned out on it a bit.

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.

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.

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

Add "Who Ever Said" and "Never Destination" and this is my playlist too.

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