    Why? Are they purposely trying to not sell a lot of albums?

    Seven O'clock and Quick Escape. Bang. Done. Those are your singles. Retrograde is an okay song but not one of the better ones on the album.

    I really question the marketing of Gigaton.
    When is the last time they had singles for the best songs?
    The last album. The album before that, except for Johnny Guitar. The album before that one. The album before that one....etcetera
    Huh? Johnny Guitar as a single? This is about singles/ songs my parents would hear if they didn’t have an album. The Fixer was a single but was it the best song off Backspacer?  This is an individual question but I’d say Inside Job was the best song off PJ, Unthought Known off Backspacer, Maybe Mind your Manners of LB but I prefer LB better especially live, and numerous ones on Gigaton over Retrograde although I do love this song, but it’s No. 5 for me

    Lyrics:

    Comes the summer rain
    Cue the lighting and far off thunder again
    Projecting through the clouds
    And meditations, lifting out in the sound
    The more mistakes the more resolve
    It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
    To lift this up
    Stars align they say when things are better than right now
    Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
    Seven seas are rising forever future's fading out
    Feel the retrograde all around, round
    Accelerate the change
    Feeling equal, and opposite all the same
    Momentum rearranged
    Shout the echo, turning back but now changed
    The rusted shapes refuse to fall
    It's gonna take much more than ordinary love
    To lift this up
    Stars align they say when times are better than right now
    Feel the retrograde spin us round, round
    Seven seas are rising forever future's fading out
    Feel the retrograde all around, round
    Hear the sound, in the distance now
    Could be thunder, or a crowd

    Reminds me of random fan-videos set to songs on youtube.

    Doesn't look very pleasing to the eye.

    Yeah I generally like the song but was not a fan of the video.

    This is giving me flashbacks of the WWS video.

    That image made me think of the pasted on-enemy faces in Golden Eye. Maybe it's the green clothes.

    Anybody else catch the Easter egg at the beginning of the video with the album titles? 

    EDIT: should have watched the while video before posting. You can clearly see it in the end of the video

    My only comment on the video is that Gigaton is still a fantastic album. That's all I'm gonna say.

    Seems like they are putting an awful lot into promoting this album
  • edoconedocon Posts: 325
    Did they use the impressionist paint filter on the video or something? It's a little too retrograde, imo.

    I liked the little shout out to the other albums at the end under retail location names; TEN cent store, LIGHTNING BOLT electrical supplies and VS attorneys at law.

    Yep. Didn't love this video, but this is one of those things you can forget exists.

  • I think it's a great video.  My wife and I each bought a new plug-in hybrid vehicle in the last month, so we're trying to do more than simply recycle our garbage to help the earth.  We're planning on getting solar panels on our house in the not-too-distant future as well.  Pearl Jam certainly does much, much more as evidenced by this album and video.  Thanks guys!

    I like the idea of the video, just me and my eyes are having problems with that filter used.

    The snippet does not look promising.

    Quick Escape should have gotten a "real" video.
    You are a negative Nancy. Snippet does not look promising? Jesus man, complain much without seeing the whole thing?

    Loved it personally!

    AT least he didn't start a separate thread about it (yet).  ;)

    I get Greta being put in it, but it really wasn’t necessary.
