    Nah, Gigaton was significantly more experimental than the previous, that’s critical catnip.
    Also, believe it or not, a lot of us like Gigaton.

    BS, LB and Gigaton are overrated there IMO, or Dark Matter is underrated. And I feel like that isn't just Dark Matter derangement syndrome, lol.

    Dark Matter is a very interesting record. There may not be a single song on it I like better than my fav song(s) on those previous albums but as a whole album it far surpasses them. It’s tight & lean with no filler. I never feel like any part of it drags. I don’t skip a single track.
