Gigaton: Official album thread

[evenslow]

Greer encouraged the band to mix “Gigaton” in Dolby Atmos and present it in that format at today’s playback to highlight Evans’ production work. Indeed, “Gigaton” is believed to be the first album released by the Universal Music Group in Dolby Atmos sound. “It’s such a unique way to experience the album and appreciate the level of effort the band put into it,” says Greer.

holy shit

so River Cross has definitely gone through the PJ filter, with Jeff on kalimba, Mike on e-bow (I thought only Ed could get to an e-bow?), Stone on acoustic, producer Evans on synth... I... I... love it.

“Gigaton” concludes with two exquisitely layered, slow-burning tracks. “Retrograde,” which dates back to recording sessions from 2017, is reminiscent of 2010-era Pearl Jam singles such as “Just Breathe” and “Sirens.” The song builds to a massive crescendo as Vedder repeatedly bellows the phrase “feel the sound.”

RM gonna shit all over this track

Sounds like a holdover from the Brendan O'Brien sessions, so yeah, probably.

the pump organ is from the original demo. that's it, that's all.

1-2-3 punch of this album is stellar. The last 2 tracks are pretty breathtaking. 7 o’clock is great too. Get ready to rearrange your top 10 y’all.

What with this media listening party and the Times Square ads, it seems like they're really, really confident about this record in a way they haven't been with the last few.
