    Why are you trying to compare this album to the Beatles or Ten? It makes no sense. Literally not one person has said this album is better than Ten....but that doesn't mean it's not really good? I have no idea what point you are even trying to make other than being a massive troll.

    At least hopefully you are pleased that Can’t Deny Me was left off
    That song would sound so out of place sitting amongst good songs
    I reckon there’s a good song buried somewhere in Can’t Deny Me. Those verses, were the guitar tone a bit more gutsy, would be driving. Defo needs a different chorus though.

    Why are people debating "reviews".

    You do know that Blade Runner got some really bad reviews back in 1982... right?

    Because how else are you supposed to decide whether you like something?

    If you give a bad review a bad review, then does that make it a positive review???

    I don't know why, but people not liking this album is bothering more than it has with any of their previous albums. I mean, there isn't a dud on this thing. Even the songs on Gigaton that are the "lesser" songs on the album imo are far better than the "lesser" songs on previous albums. It's a huge achievement. 
    Some have honest opinions that are negative but a few like this Troll JF116983 is just living in his Grandmother’s basement, starting multiple threads and replying with every possible negative spin to get a rise out of the fan base.

    You copy whatever the cute girl in class thinks.

    AND THAT IS HOW I ENDED UP LISTENING TO LINKIN PARK THAT DREADFUL YEAR OF 2001.

    Quick translator:

    Trolling = verb, to express an opinion in any way critical of Pearl Jam’s music, even on a discussion board designed for precisely that purpose.

    I’m loving Gigaton. Sorry some don’t like it. What I don’t understand is the condescending negative opinion of it while also seemingly trying to get others to not like it by trashing it over and over again. Seems weird to me.

    Yeah Vedpunk what are you 40 going on 13? Your Handle says it all, a fanatic that can’t stand differing opinions from a long term fan since the beginning. 

    I love their live shows and have many good memories attending shows, and being at the right place to get to meet band members including your beloved Eddie Vedder. However, I am grown up and have a different view than you on one album - does this justify your attacks?

    Btw If it makes you happy to think I live in a  basement I hope it makes your day - try using your imagination in a positive way so you can be successful in real life. Taking your Virtual personality the real world will not help you be successful. How you change.

    im out of here, hope you all stay safe.

    Can't relate to this sentiment at all, best album from them in forever, to me it's like a more experimental Yield, or a more accessible Binaural.

    Oh, and I think this is probably their best artwork too, the vinyl cover and lyric book are stunning.

    You bet. Even went with me to the London 2007 show.

    But then I fucked it all up.

    And now I am not listening to Linkin Park anymore.

    In the days of Google, it isn't hard to find negative reviews for anything, so that's a dumb way to determine if something is good.

    What it comes down to is whether you personally like it, and if not, big deal, move on! No reason trying to convince everyone that you are some sort of insider and that the band knows it's not good. Just dumb. You can state an opinion on how you feel without trying to act like it's justified because of a made up reason that only you know.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    The one thing I do not get from the small minority that dislike the album is the fact they are happy when others agree with them. Comments like "I am glad I am not the only one" and "thank you" when someone else replies with a similar opinion. I was not a huge fan of Backspacer when it came out or now for that matter. There is no way however that I would be happy or show joy that someone else did not like it either. I would hope that everyone else loved it and I was the odd duck. I guess it is really strange to me seeing people showing a positive reaction to a negative thought towards a band I assume we all love or loved at one point or another. 

    An above poster summed it up well. It is unfortunate for those that do not like the album and a plus for us that are blown away by it or are liking it. I would rather be on the blown away side any day of the week over the other side.
