  1. Been spinning the album through the week, CD arrived this week...

    It's okay, not sure yet on as a whole, 2nd half of the album is making me feel a little flat, much prefer the first half of the album.

    Right now my fave song is Take the Long Way, like the 7/8 groove and it's kind of different sounding as a whole. Also really dig Quick Escape, love Mike's solo.

    Second half for me really isn't anything different, new or ground breaking that we have had from Pearl Jam on the past few albums. Much preferred Lighting Bolt on first few listens and enjoyed it more. No doubt I will keep spinning Gigaton though more through the coming weeks.

    Like the singles too or the cuts we got before the album dropped.

    Peace!
  2. Maybe I'm crazy but I actually find the album bordering on unlistenable at this point
  3. Why so?

    I think it has a little bit of something for everyone and that might be its only "fault" (so to speak, because diversity can hardly be a bad thing, but anyway): it's a bit too broad, bordering on "vague". But overall I think everyone can really like more than one song on the album because there's a bit for every taste.
  4. I’m enjoying it. I find myself getting into a different song with every listen. Loving the one two punch of Never Destination and Long Way. You’re not crazy though. I can totally see people not liking the album.
  5. I think it's a great album, although the last couple of songs are a bit boring. But i like it a lot more than Backspacer and Lightning Bolt
  6. "Dance of the Clairvoyants" looks like a Muse song.
  7. What does a Muse song 'look' like?
  8. I think this album is better than anything they’ve put out recently.
  9. DOC is such an awesome song. Wicked album!
  10. I think I was hoping for more like dance.. It just seems so bland every time I try and listen. I hope it grows

    A bit like No line on the horizon then ,some duds in there and a few good songs overall it's a bit hit n miss I find myself skipping some songs as it doesn't grab me like Lightning Bolt , I think to have a great album you need to have 8 to 9 strong songs but Gigaton doesn't have that IMO, however when they tour it will be a good test to see how they sound live as like U2 live is where PJ excel and where the songs take on another dimension.
  12. I understand it's your opinion but "unlistenable" is rather hyperbolic. Dread to hear what you thought of the last two albums then.
