Also, the etching on Side A says, "Breaching whales send me messages."

B wrote:My vinyl says "Dance of the Clairvoyants (edit)." Who's gonna figure out if this is a different version? Because I'm shit at that.

same question I was going to ask. I listened to it and didn't notice a huge difference. figure I'd wait for a smarter person to post about it.

I just saw the EKG thing and was like "that's what I paid extra for?" I don't know what else was etched on it, I'll look later.

same message as B. I wonder if there's a low-level ARG going on with the etchings or if someone was just bored.

"It's not a negative thought, I'm positive! Positive, positive!!!"
is my favorite part and a great meme

was just listening to gigaton on shuffle, and this works really well as a closer.

What is a calendars floor though? Isn't just the floor? Like the numbers fall off of the calendar on to the floor.

yeah that's a clunker

ive got some ideas about it Im thinking through but I like the RM interpretation ‘the calendar’s flaw’ better

it's the floor beneath the calendar.

the calendar's floor.

right?

how can numbers fall off the floor? is there a trap door?

Exactly

the outro reminds me of Wanna Be Startin’ Something (arguably MJ’s best song)

this might be the best song they've released this century. its like prince and pink floyd had a baby

Clunker?! I love that line! What a great image for time passing. It's surely better than "East is to West and the clock is to time".

I don't see why picking out another random line from the catalogue disproves my opinion that this line doesn't make sense

To the people who consider this the best song on the album: is it a little disappointing that the first Gigaton track you heard was also the best? Was there a slight sense of deflation when you listened to the rest of it?

No. To me this is the best song they’ve written post Yield, so it would have been tough to beat.

The time reference is what brought it to my mind. I'm not trying to tell you your opinion is wrong, but I know when someone else on here likes something that I haven't clicked with, that can help change my perspective.
