I thought it was a cheesy backspacer ish song at first, I was wrong 

Well I still kinda think this. What changed your mind?

I can't get this song out of my head. With these strange times we find ourselves living in,this song could be the anthem.  By far my favorite on the album. What's your thoughts on this gem?

I tended to skip it at first but damn....awesome....going to be kickass live if we ever get to congregate again

If we NEVER get to congregate again...it's the end of society.  I work hard all year to be able to go to a handful of shows and sporting events each year.  I'd quit my 8-5 job if this turns into a long term thing.  I'll fish for my food and live a much simpler life.

Great song. But why the love for this song and the hate for Sirens?

It took me also a little while to get into this song, but since the Weekend I am fully overwhelmed by it. I think it is a wonderful song, the lyrics touch me and the outro is just stunning (like in the other post so perfectly desribed!). It has a positive underlaying tone in the melody and somehow it has become my hymn for those days...  

And: it surprised me that Ed created a song about the Retrogate that will occure in summer (a friend of mine is into astrology and told me about it)...so I always had been careless about astrology but with the song spinning in my head over and over, I started to wonder... 

Eitherway, thank you PEARL JAM for the super album Gigaton and Retrogate for today

Least favorite.  Sounds like a LB song.  I mean, it's still Pearl Jam so I kinda like it (cause I'm apparently a fanboy and like everything just about).  But it feels like soft rock/poppy....some good there, but easily my least favorite on the album.

but that last section....awesome....tolerate the first 2/3 to enjoy the masterful last 1/3rd

and I'm not saying the first 2/3 is awful....just not my typical favorite type of PJ tune.  Great song though.  Miles above Sirens in my opinion.

Fantastic song.  My #2 behind Seven O'Clock.
P.S. - I really like Sirens.  Fight me.

I like that you like it.  I just don't.  But admittedly I don't like a lot of the ballad type songs that PJ or any other band puts out.

It's interesting - love this album, and my favorite since Binaural. Just can't seem to get into the last two tracks on Gigaton. 

Tim Simmons

Thats interesting. The last 2 are probably my favorite tracks on the record. 

But the whole album is top to bottom great.

Not a fan of river cross, just not my cup of tea.

Hahahaha I love yellow moon....and Buckle up.  Both way better than Retrograde  which is retro in a bad way.

Retrograde is my new favorite from Gigaton, it’s superfantastic 😃

Abe Froman

Listened to the album with headphones again last and damn Retrograde into River Cross!  So good. That last minute or so of Retrograde might be my favorite of all of Gigaton. This is a really great album start to finish
