I still can't name five tracks on this album. They are so forgettable that they flit out of my head as quickly as they flitted in
What are your examples of "good" Pearl Jam?
I like the eighties stuff
Betterman?
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

I took a victory run Sunday morning and put Gigaton on. It was as great an experience as you would imagine. Especially if you were PHATJ.

This album is as good today as it was on March 27th.

Dance still the best track on Gigaton.

Do you guys think PJ has it in them to release an album full of curve balls like this? That would just be so fresh. I'd love for them to, I really would.

Listened to this last night twice on separate occasions while running errands. It just sang in a way that it hadn't before.

I’ll sometimes goes several days, even weeks without listening to much music, but almost every single time I want to listen to something it’s Gigaton that I put on. The only other band that gets similar-ish attention is The National.

Me too! I really wish they would do something like the "from the basement" thing Radiohead did a few years back.

I was sure Gigaton would pick up a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album (since it's one of only a handful high-profile rock albums of the last year), but no, it got fully snubbed

The rock category is usually a sausage fest. This year it's..... what's the opposite of a sausage fest? Anyway, PJ is packing way too many sausages to be shortlisted.
