Tier 1: Who Ever Said, Dance of the Clairvoyants, Quick Escape, Never Destination, Comes Then Goes
Tier 2: Superblood Wolfmoon, Alright, Buckle Up
Tier 3: Seven O'Clock, Take the Long Way, Retrograde, River Cross
Tiers being said, I really like something about every song on the record. I don't think I'll ever be skipping any of these tracks. Really great album top to bottom.
I absolutely love 7 o’clock. I think it will be really awesome live. That being said: Tier 1 Who ever said, DOTC, Quick Escape, Seven O’clock, Superblood Wolfmoon
i don’t love buckle up but sure it will grow on me.
Top tracks here: SBWM, DOTC, Quick Escape, 7:00, Buckle Up, Retrograde, Never Destination Middle: Who Ever Said, Take the Long Way, River Cross, Alright It's so bad why is it even a song? Comes Then Goes (6 minutes of bad makes it worse)
Such an improvement from Backspacer and LB where about 50% of the album was pretty good and the other 50% were duds/below average. Better than Avocado which had 2 or 3 bad tracks. Their best studio work since Yield.
What an album. Can't wait to rock out live to most of these tracks and look forward to seeing how they work them into the setlists.

I like your idea of tiering the songs. It is interesting to see which ones resonate the most with different people. I agree with JimmyV above, that it is a good sign of a strong album when everyone is all over the place with what they think are the strongest tunes.
My tiers would be: Tier 1: Seven O'Clock, DOTC, Who Ever Said, Quick Escape, Retrograde Tier 2: Comes Then Goes, Superblood Wolfmoon, River Cross, Alright, Buckle Up Tier 3: Never Destination, Take the Long Way
Tier 1: Who Ever Said, SBWM, DOTC, Quick Escape, Never Destination, Take the Long Way, Buckle Up, Retrograde Tier 2: Alright, Seven O'Clock, River Cross Tier 3: Comes then Goes
I know I'm going to get shit for putting Comes then Goes as my least favorite song on the album but I just can't really get into it in the spirit of the album, it just feels somewhat out of place. It's a great song - but I feel like it should be on an Ed solo album instead. Of course, all of this can (and probably will change) as we all get more acquainted with Gigaton.
Tier 1: Who Ever Said, SBWM, DOTC, Quick Escape, 7 O'Clock, River Cross Tier 2: Never Destination, Take the Long Way, Alright Tier 3: Comes then Goes, Buckle Up, Retrograde
Tier 1: Never destination, quick escape, retrograde, super wolf, who ever said, alright, comes then goes Tier 2: DOTC, buckle up, river cross Tier 3: seven o' clock, take the long way

Tier 2:
Never Destination, Retrograde, Quick Escape
Tier 3:
Alright, River Cross, Take The Long Way
I love how all over the place some of our fanviews are. This person loves this song but that one as much. The next person is the opposite. That's a sign that there is a lot to like on this album and more than one way to appreciate it. I am so happy Gigaton is in our lives.
Yes, all over the place makes this a Great record, I think.
I have eaten crow and must admit DOTC is fucking awesome kick ass song. It is so different yet refreshing at the same time.
Chew slowly my friend! Taste that shit. hahaha! I was never a big fan of "You Are" but DOTC is great. The ending is hauntingly good.
You are is still imo the worst song ever written by pearl jam.
Haha! Evacuation appreciates your opinion.
Love it!! Touché.
I know you like Yield almost as much as I do. Is Gigaton really that good? I don't have it yet.
I don’t think it is as good as yield but I think it is the best album they ve put out since yield. It is a really easy record to like, immediately connected my first listen thru just like yield.

Great response as we all know Yield can have no equal. I would love Gigaton to be second place because IMO no other release after Yield came close to it. Thanks

Comes Then Goes struck me as odd first spin, then someone on Reddit posted the lyrics and I sat with it again - lyrically incredible - I love it now. I'm enjoying all of these songs even more now that the lyrics are out there. Might be my fav album since Riot Act.

Also, can anyone else imagine if Of the Earth made it on Gigaton? This album would have rivaled, dare I say it, the Big Three...

I could have seen it towards the end. Wow it actually would have fit in well.
Totally, lyrically and musically - it would have been perfect.
