That set-up was a masterpiece...the post, a fully satisfying emotional rideMcParadigm wrote:In addition to having different opinions about any given piece of art, every individual interprets the word “masterpiece” in a different way.
Regardless of the dictionary definition, some people see masterpiece as a way to describe a creative or technical highwater mark (an artist’s master piece). Others assign it to most any work that feels exemplary. Still others would argue that very few works exist worthy of the term.
So it’s all subjective. Perhaps the only objective fact is that neither Gigaton nor Binaural is a masterpiece, but they both grew out of great and interesting creative ground, and that makes them more interesting than their base quality level.
Yes. Gigaton is an album I almost always play all the way through, because it sounds so good that way.Ms Harmless wrote:I said "late-career masterpiece", which is not the same as Vitalogy, an all-time masterpieceDeeDee wrote:Come on, Gigaton is not a masterpiece.
for me, every song on Gigaton is good to great; it's the only PRAMG album I can always play from beginning to end
all that considered, I refuse to "come on"

I have Gigaton as better, but I also hold Avocado in pretty high esteem and the gap is not that wide. If Josh Evans had produced it, it may have taken the cake in this battle.Ms Harmless wrote:agreedDeeDee wrote:Nah, it's way better.E.H. Ruddock wrote:Gigaton is not better than ST and that is that!

Stone mentioned in the Spin interview that Ed's vocal dexterity in Running and also the second verse of React, Respond, where he is almost rapping, is something to behold.warehouse wrote:is this the song Jeff cites when talking about EV sounding like he's rapping? the vocal cadence is super fun. with that said, no shot they pull this off live lol. it's a fun rocker, i'd say it's on par with 'superblood wolf moon' if we are comparing second singles.
i don't think any song on the new album is going to be as good as 'DOTC', so my bar is set a little differently.
