Gigaton: Official album thread

[VinylGuy]

Hope they put out a 'making of' for this one.

i’d LOVE that.

Im dying about an EPK like the ones we have been getting since Avocado.

[McParadigm]

Enough can't be said about the production. I'll have a mental breakdown if they ever return to BO'B. They need to get this guy to remix the last 3 albums FFS

It’s both more live and more sonically crafted than its friends, with a space that they’ve never actually been offered before, full stop.

I feel like I'm gonna keep saying this but every time I put this on one of my first thoughts is I can't believe I'm this jazzed about a PJ album in 2020...there was nothing that hinted they still had a really good album in them

Makes you sort of want this to be the last one for the sake of the pearl jam mythology.

I'd be fine with just moving forward and making more new shit with Josh... Mr. Evans... JE... What shall we call this instant legend?

I'm of the belief that looking back was the problem with Backspacer & Lightning Bolt.

Self-titled could sound better, but the creativity and results were damn good.

[McParadigm]

It’s kinda like if a band came out of the gate sounding like Backspacer...like, if that sound was their starting point...this is what their Binaural would be. Except this band didn’t panic at the last step.

Yeah...except part of me says ride the wave and follow this up quickly with Josh (they won't)...if they wait 7 years they'll all be in their 60s

Binaural is to Yield as Gigaton is to Backspacer? Works pretty well, too bad LB fucks it up though.

ha, the benjamin button comparison is apt. how the hell did they do this?

It has to be:
1) Jeff putting his foot down
2) Josh Evans
