Gigaton: Official album thread

[DeeDee]

I love both Quick Escape and Never Destination

Gigaton is awesome. So much better than the 3 albums before it.

I don't know about that. Avocado is better and Backspacer, to my surprise, hasn't aged that bad.

[Birds in Hell]

I do not like this album.

I still like Dance of the Clairvoyants and Get It Back, the rest I'll happily never hear again.

Better luck next time, I guess.

Never Destination sounds like it was written for a Ford commercial

I can see that.

press play on this, and when this gets to about 0:15

I can't hear any music in that car commercial

I don't think you're supposed to pause Never Destination when you start the car commercial. It's kinda funny.

Sometimes I'm sad when I see you talking about Gigaton, but then I see you rank Binaural at #6.

correct the idea is to hear them at the same time - as an overdub

OK but I don't think it sounds like it came from a car commercial if it didn't come from a car commercial? you could equally play... "Whipping" alongside a car commercial, or really any rock song

I can understand in one part of the multiverse that ND is the perfect soundtrack to a car commercial while also understanding that in another part of the multiverse I'm rocking out to it at a PJ show unironically. Such is life.

[Ms Harmless]

OK, yeah, that's OK

i think this joke might be more relevant for longtime viewers of american car commercials on network tv

i dont think you have 'this' over there

[LetMeSleep]

Of the five Ed songs on this album I only really like Comes Then Goes. The others don't do it for me at all. His riffs don't do it for me. Also the meandering song structures of WES, SBWM and ND don't work for me.

Exact opposite for me.

[96583UP]

i love the 0.9% financing and no money down

[Ms Harmless]

good album this, innit?

Who Ever Said is one of the most unique song structures I've heard from pearl jam. its like the bridge is the longest part.

I love this. It works really well. (And I like the song)

I put it together for convenience:



And an extra one for good measure:
