The album has grown really quick on me.
It begs for closer attention to the brilliantly crafted lyrics as well
as its various sonic textures. Standout feature of Gigaton: different
musical layers in the majority of the songs. A characteristic that
instantly reminded me of the mighty Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody).
So many exquisite pieces of music to rank...

What exactly do you want Ed to do on Alright? Is it just his delivery? What could have made it better?
Honestly chants like Aya Davanita or Arc would have been better. I feel like he makes the song conform to a singing style and harmony that does not enhance the song. I feel like he stifles it.
Trust me, I want to love every Pearl Jam song. I wish Josh or someone would have pushed him more on that one. And then if they drop the two unredeemable songs (Never Destination and Take the Long Way) you are looking at a killer album.
But as I already said, I will take 9 great new PJ songs any day of the week, especially almost 30 years down the road.
So your a connoisseur on singing uhmm what else can you tell us about how Ed approaches the songs he signs? I like when the bands releases an album all the experts show up..
