Quick Escape and Retrograde stood out on my first listen. Really liking this so far.

After multiple listens, it really is like a modern version of Yield with much, much better production.0

Seven o Clock has to be my favorite song. I can't stop playing it.0

I've been sitting on saying anything for awhile, didn't want to get banned/spoil anything but it seems like people are getting the album now and it's safe to post about the "unreleased" songs.
This album is fucking awesome. Definitely getting put in my top 5 of PJ albums. Only song I'm not completely digging so far is Buckle Up, but I think it will grow on me. As a way younger PJ fan than most here, listening to Quick Escape sent chills down my spine on first listen. It was probably the closest I'll ever get to the feeling of spinning Vs. or Vitalogy for the first time in the 90s when they came out. Definitely the most "old school" and hardest song they've come out with since the 90s.
For those who haven't heard it yet, you are going to love it.0 -
There are no short punkish songs. I like that very much.

I hold the first 6 albums in extremely high regard, if this has staying power it slots in right behind those. Just a tremendous work 30 years in.
favs:
DotC - haven’t wavered
Quick Escape - the last 1:20, Mike and Jeff absolutely kill it.
Comes Then Goes - is it about Chris? I don’t know, but that’s all I think about for 6:02.
Who Ever Said - terrific opener in a long line of em
SBWM - I turned this off halfway thru release, but now? That part EV plays out of the solo - fantastic
7:00 - grower. MUCH TO BE DONE...MUCH TO BE...
Buckle Up - quirky, goofy, groovy bastard Stoney. straight off Moonlander which I love.
Alright - perfect mood piece from JA after the blistering 4 tune start.
Take the Long Way - PJ does Soundgarden. Matt delivers a blistering contribution with cool guitar work on a diff time signature.
River Cross - perfect album closer.
yeah, I love what I’m hearing. Layered tunes, worked on for awhile, with great production.
whats not connecting yet? Never Destination and Retrograde.

Gigaton is easily my favorite album since Yield. I cannot believe they made an album this good 30 years in.0

Sounds strong and mature. Lots to dance to also. Reviews of posters are pretty spot on.0

My highlights.....Whoever Said - awesome opener. Love the changes. Love how you think it’s over and then it pummels you again.Quick Escape - belongs on VS. Should have been the 2nd single.DOTC - still one of my favorites. Love itAlright and Buckle Up - No Code territory
Seven O’clock - Maybe the heart and soul of Gigaton
Comes Then Goes - heavy stuff in those lyrics. He says a lot. I’m guessing that its about CC. I think even Josh said that. Again, he’s saying his feelings straight up.Retrograde - Last two minutes are my favorite two minutes of 21st Century Pearl Jam.0 -
