Agreed, it’s a troll job and everyone is feeding into it. Who cares about one dudes opinion of the album. If everyone else enjoys, go enjoy it.

No way. If he wanted to be a troll he would have started this thread a minimum of 3 times.

In what way is he a troll? He expressed his opinion, and did so in X sentences stating his opinion.
If that is trolling. Then so is every opinion ever by any poster on here about the album.
Don't be so over precious. This isn't the SEGA vs NINTENDO fight of the 90s. And you are not 12 years old.

Because he made a separate thread instead of using the fanviews, and not one but two.

75% of fans make seperate threads for any topic regarding this band. Whether it's tickets, new music or whatever. Trigger happyness and/or wanting your opinion out there isn't something new on here, and doesn't equate to trolling.
Chill, playing both Sonic and Mario is okey.
And Gigaton isn't a familymember to you that the OP has offended.

Fair point, opinions are all good, enjoy your day.

Lots of quarantine time for people to post separate threads for each song on the album. What’s next, threads for chorus lines?? Some of the songs are good, some bad. Everyone has an opinion.

Arguing over whether it is ok for the OP to create a separate thread is kinda silly. I wouldn’t have been reading what he posted unless it was right at the top. The only way I view the forum is by going to Recent Discussions every time. I don’t spend my life on here and know all the etiquette but it is one of the few sites I visit daily.
The magic of the early records is they captured lightning in a bottle. Obviously the original songs are classics. The song writing on the first 5 records is great. Most of us became fans in the early years and were along for the ride as their style expanded. The first record that felt stale to me was Avacado. The Brendan O’Brien remix breathed much needed life into it.
I think Josh Evans did a great job with this record capturing a lot of takes and moments that give these new songs life. DOTC is great, love who ever said and quick escape. (That meme above is hilarious.) These songs don’t sound overly rehearsed or stale on Gigaton. Like the song a lot but not sure why there are so many words crammed into the verses of 7 o’clock. At least the verses have life to them (it sounds like an early take of the vocals that wasn’t already sung over and over to get perfectly right). Never destination to me feels like a stage rocker similar to Lightning Bolt that they will have fun playing live. Take the long way is cool. Just would like another louder more powerful song somewhere near the back end of the record. I don’t have the patience to get through River Cross. Seems a little self indulgent. Like retrograde. All in all I like gigaton for me is their best since riot act. Funny how now songs like Green Disease which weren’t the highlight of the album back then now feel like amazing PJ songs when looking back over the last 18 years.

That’s not because Green Disease is a great song, it’s because the songs after it were just not great (on the average, save for a couple of standout tracks on each album)

No, I’m right but thanks for playing.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Ok. To each their own. The liner notes are littered with the band members doing all sorts of things. Changing up instruments, composing the music and/or lyrics...you can hear various members on backing vocals. I’m thrilled and have been exclusively playing this. So many sounds and the lyrics are really punching hard!

That’s part of it but it is also a bit of nostalgia for 2003 PJ. Kind of like when I told Alexa to play PJ the other night in the kids room and Dissident came on and I realized there is no way anything new this band does will satisfy their fans like the purely magical early songs they latched onto when they became fans.
I was very excited to to crank this new album on my way home from work yesterday. It started out great with Who Ever Said and I was loving it up thorough Quick Escape then it quickly went downhill. I kept waiting for the next song to bring it back but that didn’t happen. Ive listened to it now multiple times trying to like it but I just don’t. I personally put this as their worse album and it sounds more of an Ed solo album than a full band effort in my opinion.
You said that u instantly loved the first third of the album. If some of the middle and back grows on you seems like it wont end up being a huge disappointment overall. Seven Oclock by the way is my favorite PJ song since MITS.

I get nastolgia for sure, but as someone that came in late to the pj game, there’s no way that anything on the last few albums compares to stuff like present tense, in hiding, light years, etc. The band has moved toward adult contemporary in the backspacer/lb albums. Luckily Gigaton sees them moving away from that trend, save for a couple songs like retrograde
