Gigaton: Official album thread

[guitar_davey]

Hot take after one listen is that the back half sounds as if Pearl Jam made the Into the Wild soundtrack.

[Thejambi]

There is no doubt that I put this ahead of the last 3 albums. I wish Ed was 10 years younger for it but it is what is.

[Juvenal]

I guess we all agree that every single song on this album shits on Can’t Deny Me?

I probably like it better than Never Destination.

Ed sounds pretty great on this.

"Alright" into "Seven O'Clock" is a cool transition.

"Seven O'Clock" is a little too Springsteen for me but I like parts of it

I think CDM is better than at least two of these songs, maybe more. We'll have to see how thing shake out as I live with this thing more.

But I'm the world's only CDM fan so you can't trust my take on this.

Also, I like how connected these songs are. So many tracks have little atmospherics and noises and elements that bleed from the previous song into the next. I haven't spent enough time with it to comfortably call it a concept album or anything like that but those elements give a concept album quality that I really dig.

[evenslow]

this thing really needed another quick escape rager towards the end to balance things out a bit.

I'm home for lunch, would love to hear from one of you personally about this.

edit: thanks! I am overwhelmed with love and support on this one, I got it.

I still love this band

[Vindicator]

For those of you wondering if the leak is real: it is! This is not a joke.

PM me and I'll help you out

what a delightful first listen. ambitious album that doesnt feel exhausting. There is a gentle fire that runs through this whole thing. Sounds exactly right for this moment


onto the second listen!

[Gigatron1983]

Anyone care to hook me up with a link. I'd be forever in your debt

[stip]

someone let this man remix lightning bolt.

[verb_to_trust]

I like this record. Seven O Clock is kind of a drag, but still on my first impressions.

[evenslow]

big thanks to mr. josh evans on this one.

warm, inviting, open, little pockets of unexpected instruments filling the background gaps, songs that build and go places, fucking 70mm in technicolor!

Tourists. The hidden track.

See?? They only come out when it’s bright
