Gigaton = 11th Studio Album by Pearl Jam

EEK! I don't use social media so no lens for me, but when I saw the ekg design that matches the one on the website I got it (By the way I can't find the link anymore but someone has a tattoo on his inner arm that is pretty much that exact design. I can only imagine how stoked he is now) I'm guessing that people who walked by and saw a short woman jumping up and down in front of a wall next to a pile of trash in a parking lot assumed I am crazy. Except for the other fan who arrived a few minutes later...

This does not look good- with a cover that Spinal Tap would hold back on, I am not expecting much from PJ’s latest touring excuse 

Cheer up, Philip

New albums name Eleven? Too simple? ...i read it and I thought it could sounds right

Yeah, I like that it didn't reveal Pearl Jam on the boards. That would have spoiled it. 

I too am curious as to how long they've been up. Probably sometime this past week. I wouldn't be surprised that when the album is officially announced to the media, if these billboards get an update advertising the release date and saying that its the new album from PJ.

Yeah I get why you would feel that way because you are a big fan and the way the billboards are set up is really just for the big fans. Who else besides big fans are going to bother finding a billboard and scanning it? I am just saying as a marketer, the big fans like you and I don't really need any hype to get us excited about a new album. We have been ready for six years. The general population hasn't been thinking about Pearl jam in who knows how long so advertising is important.

Agreed. But these aren't put up to promote an album to the larger population. That will come later when the promotion cycle kicks in ( I mean, the record hasn't even been officially announced yet). These are merely for this AR thing.

Given the environmental angle of the possible title and artwork does anyone think that this could be the first Pearl Jam album not to be released in a physical format. As much of a collector that I am, I would have thought it would be an impressive and bold move by a band who usually produce a lot of physical product. 

I look at the thousands of records I have and think of the environmental impact of them being manufactured and contemplate stopping buying physical stuff.

And that's movies, which is a lot more data heavy than music. I guess if you stream an album over an over it will eventually exceed buying a physical album, but if you download it then it should always be less.

The billboards are posted
Advertisement dreams
Chalked full of colour
Red, blue, yellow, no green

Hidden beneath 
Surface beauty on top
The decay of lying
Core sold and bought

You have all gone goofy....time to take a breather from this place. 

New album and tour does that I guess. Its a rare moment here. Lets just enjoy it. 

Maybe a surfer in this case.
