    Please have mercy on my nonexistent soul and tell me what this is--I am not on social media anymore.
    I"m in Seattle and Google maps cannot identify a location for this.
    The photo looks like there is a giant poster there and if so I REALLY want to go see it.

    Yeah right.  This things coming out on CD, black vinyl, colored vinyl, reel to reel, probably collectible 8 track too. 
    I don’t believe you. You didn’t mention laser disc or cassette. And the hologram version that shoots the image of the band playing the album live wherever you are. Ok, I would buy that. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    I just read somewhere that gigaton spelled/spelt backwards is “not a gig.”

    I for one love the album cover art if it is in fact the album cover or if it is in fact an album or if it is in fact a single or if it is in fact an announcement or if it is in fact...

    Gigaton 2020, worth the wait!

    Or what if.... ;)

    Seems clear to me that these billboards are ads for a new Pearl Jam album called Gigaton, aimed at the general public, and to get people  and the news talking about it they added in an augmented reality aspect and promoted that part in a mysterious cryptic way to their most fervent fans. Good marketing IMO.

    Although if I were in charge of the marketing I would have put the word "PEARL JAM" in the billboards.🤷‍♂️

    Like, I would have done it backwards  and put "Pearl Jam" in the heartbeats on the billboards for the general public to see and then when fans used the AR it would show the album name Gigaton as the Easter egg, in other words to find out the album name you need the lens not the other way around where the lens shows Pearl Jam.

    I asked this in another thread, but does anyone know how long they've been up for? I like the fact that you need the lens to reveal it's Pearl Jam. We could have been walking by that thing for weeks and had no idea it was Pearl Jam related.

    Yeah, I like that it didn't reveal Pearl Jam on the boards. That would have spoiled it. 

    I too am curious as to how long they've been up. Probably sometime this past week. I wouldn't be surprised that when the album is officially announced to the media, if these billboards get an update advertising the release date and saying that its the new album from PJ.
