Gigaton: Official album thread

[VinylGuy]

I know its not a part of the album, but i love Get It Back so much.

Sounds like a mix between WWC and SG and those are some tasty guitars indeed. That solo is motherfucking amazing i just hate the fade out.

[WaitingForBluey]

Very Binaural-Riot Act era PJ

[VinylGuy]

yeah, definitely sounds like a lost b side from Binaural specially. Ed vocals reminds me of Felicity Surprise from WWC

Gigaton is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released March 27, 2020.

Four years old tomorrow.

[Ms Harmless]

spinning it right now, what an unexpectedly great record

[VinylGuy]

yeah, im listening to it too

Never Destination is on right now

yeah, great fucking album indeed

[Ms Harmless]

TTLW is so clearly missing bass, and the guitars are very distant, but it just occurred to me that its weird jagged-edged unfinishedness reminds me of "Push Me, Pull Me"; they could've gone harder on the weird production and covered it in gnarly effects

[Ms Harmless]

Retrograde is so much better than it gets credit for

[RockPusher]

Retrograde is so much better than it gets credit for

[Ms Harmless]

I really think it hits 70s prog ballad quite nicely, and that's thanks to the more naturalistic production (than Lightning Bolt, which neutered Sirens or we might've got similar from that)

[VinylGuy]

yeah i agree

[VinylGuy]

Also, the jam at the end of Never Destination is so good...Jeff´s bass is tasty af and the guitars are locked in very Yield vibey.

I said it at the time, but kinda reminds me of Black Red Yellow

[VinylGuy]

ah Buckle Up is so good.

Is there like a reverse guitar there or whats that? a mellotron?

[Jaeti]

Always luv seeing this thread bumped and filled with good vibes.

River Cross

River Cross

Great drum sound

[Ms Harmless]

River Cross

Great drum sound

love River Cross, I still feel like the drumming coupled with the keys reminds me of Graceland

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Ms Harmless]

River Cross

Great drum sound

love River Cross, I still feel like the drumming coupled with the keys reminds me of Graceland

It’s very Peter Gabriel to me, but both references play with the gated reverb on the toms

absolutely
