accurate post. i did love S/T a LOT when it came out, but it's faded for me a bit over time.

this is also - easily - the best this band has sounded since Riot Act...to me, anyway.
Honestly, of all their albums, Riot Act is the one that Gigaton feels most like "a logical extension" of. This could easily have been the album that followed Riot Act and it would make total sense to me.
which is everything I wanted

Agreed. I don't know...I really proud of this band right now? proud of Josh too.

this is a wonderful thing they've done.
I am by no means a production nerd like some people, but the overall feel of this album REALLY stands out compared to the last few. Clearly whatever Josh did worked in spades

Can someone DM me the link so I can verify if You're Fired! (The President) is on the album?

Who Ever Said - I love how Ed sings this one. It’s unique, yet I can hear a couple other Pearl Jam songs here. Great start to the album.

It's 2020, the world is in lockdown due to a pandemic that will likely devastate the global economy, and Pearl Jam made a good album. What a wild ride.

I'm in the same boat as you. these songs have so much more atmosphere to them than the last few albums.

DotC is a really cool song. Think it could have been a real hit 2-3 decades ago.
