Yeah, I made a point to spend the window I had this afternoon to only listen to the second half. "Side A" is aces, plain and simple; "Side B" is where I'm still feeling some stuff out. But I was doing work and had a great semi-attentive experience with ND, TTLW, and Retrograde. Just let them be in my ears a bit more passively than I generally have, but each one reached up and grabbed me several times with good stuff they were doing.

I agree. Which PJ album is like this? Ten, Vs..No Code?

With all that has been going on in this world, I dropped off of here about when this leaked. I may have already commented, I can't remember, but I keep coming back to this album. Is it Yield or Vitalogy? Maybe not. Is it Ten or Vs.? Definitely not from a popularity perspective. Nevertheless, this album is pretty damn good.... It may even be the best thing I've heard in 2020 so far. Granted, this year is pretty fucked up at this point.

None of the above.
YIELD
(And I’d argue Binaural and Riot Act as well)

It has elements of all of their albums.

Yield&Binaural. RA is a collection of songs with excellent production.

If Star Wars has taught me anything its to try find at least something you like in something you hate.
Despite coming around kind of on never destination, I still really can’t stand Take the long way, but the bridge/breakdown bit is good. Deserves a better song around it but here we are.

For me, the tone and aesthetics are like a better executed, higher quality Avocado. The collaborative, group songwriting spirit does connect it to the Yield-Riot Act era, though.

Take the Long Way is my least favorite on Gigaton, but when I listen to it with Soundgarden in mind, I like it a lot more.

Too late, you now retroactively agree with me.

yeah Yield is a good choice, the songs there share a sound like in Gigaton. I still feel Ten, Vs and No Code are their strongest front to back albums.
