I would put ahead of LB, BS and Riot Act.Really close to Binural and No Code.But not anywhere near Ten, VS, Yield or Avacado.At this point in their careers, I think this album is wonderful and am grateful to have it.Seattle 8-8-18

Ahead if lb and backspacer, ties with self titled. Could pass self titled, it’s just a really good album all around. Some of Ed’s best lyrics since binaural and best music since riot act.0

Some time to digest? This is the 17th day since its release. No one has any idea how this will wear.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0

I listened to it a few times after it first came out but haven’t listened to it since. Was so excited by DotC, but that is the only song I really like. It’s about even with Lightning Bolt at the very bottom right now. I’ve probably only listened to Lightning Bolt about 10 times ever.

Gigaton feels like an album of its time, like a piece of art made by artists. Any true PJ fan can discern the feeling of capturing lightning in a bottle (Yield etc), versus the contrived and uninspired (LB etc).
Gigaton is lightning in a bottle0 -
I have Vs. then Ten at the top. I have Gigaton tied with No Code in the 3-spot. No Code is very uneven as it has In My Tree and I'm open (both of my bookends). Gigaton is pretty great to me throughout. Then Vitalogy, Yield and the rest. I like all of the albums a lot. All have great songs. Looking across the catalog, very few turds in the punchbowl; a major one though at the end of Vitalogy. That's why I'm here. They are a match with my tastes. To me, Gigaton is huge, bigger than life and refreshing. Great sound quality, added affects. All a great bonus.Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river0

It’s good. There are a few I don’t get into yet, but that’s common with this band the last 20 years. Seven O’clock, River Cross, DotC, Who Ever Said, Retrograde, all fucking brilliantPost edited by Foriginal Sin onChicago 6/29/98, Alpine Valley(EV) 6/13/99, Alpine Valley 10/08/00, Chicago 10/09/00, Phoenix 10/20/00, Orlando 4/12/03, Tampa 4/13/03, San Diego 6/05/03, Vegas 6/06/03, Phoenix 6/07/03, Chicago 6/18/03, Alpine Valley 6/21/03, Orlando 10/08/04, D.C. 10/11/04, Chicago 5/16/06, Chicago 5/17/06, LA 7/12/08, Chicago 8/23/09, Chicago 8/24/09, LA 10/07/09, San Diego 10/09/09 (Front Row Center, Finally), Phoenix(EV) 11/4/11, Wrigley 7/19/13, Phoenix 11/19/13, Denver 10/22/14, Wrigley 8/20/16, Wrigley 8/22/160

It’s the only album I can listen too from their catalog, all the rest from 10 to LB I never ever listen to anymore!

It is up there with Binaural as best since 2000. Musically Gigaton is great, if Ed still had the voice of 90's Ed, it could compete with Yield and No Code, but he doesn't.0
