    This was hard and the only steady positions are 1 and 12, in between they easily switch around depending on my day / mood.

    I hate putting any of these tracks near the bottom.  Such a strong track list.  Ask me next week and I'm sure the order of this list will change.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    1.  Whoever Said
    2.  Superblood Wolfmoon (lyrics stop it from being #1)
    3.  Quick Escape
    4.  Dance of the Coo-Coos
    5.  Never Destination
    6.  Take the Long Way
    7.  Alright
    8.  7:00
    9.  Comes then goes
    10.  River Cross
    11.  Retrograde
    12.  Buckle Up

    First four, I like...and continue to like more.
    Second four....take or leave but feeling like Pearl Jam to me and I will continue to like more
    Last four?  Maybe they will be ones that I learn to love from bootlegs?  Just don't do much for me yet and I almost always stop the album sometime in the last four songs where it sputters out

    I am feeling pretty aligned to this. The first 4 (and, alright, Alright 😀) I crave to listen to. The middle, I find myself continually listening to in an attempt to have them resonate with me as the first 5 tracks have. The last 4, are not really doing it for me, and don’t see them growing on me in the future.

    I’ve seen people comparing River Cross to Indifference. Sorry, not feeling that at all. If River Cross is played at a show, I can see myself running to the beer line. If Indifference is played at a show, I can see myself running from the beer line. 

    And, while we are at it, I have not seen much love for Superblood. That has been the track I’ve listened to the most. That’s a jam!

    I ranked my picks based on how I feel today and then looked at my iTunes info for star rankings and play count.  I've been a pretty big fan since 92/93 and this is easily the most exciting new album I've heard from them since Yield and likely the most I've listened to any of their albums after the first month of release. For perspective, the song I've listened to off of Lightning Bolt the most is Getaway ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at 35 plays (after almost 7 years). My biggest surprises are Buckle Up (which I expected to be awful after reading early fan reviews, but really enjoy kitschiness and dark humor of and listen to every day while I give my wife her injections of medications) and Never Destination which I was disinterested and bored of quickly with the first few listens through and now really love the way Ed sings and the live/improv feel of the band. I like the meandering lost quality of the music which matches the song title. Also shocked I'm pretty "meh" with River Cross, which was a song I saw premiered live and really enjoyed and was looking forward to. 

    1. Quick Escape ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (56)
    2. Comes Then Goes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (60)
    3. Dance of the Clairvoyants ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (72)
    4. Buckle Up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (53)
    5. Never Destination ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (46)
    6. Superblood Wolfmoon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (53)
    7. Alright ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (46)
    8. Seven O’Clock ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (42)
    9. Who Ever Said ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (41)
    10. River Cross ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (32)
    11. Retrograde ⭐️⭐️.5 (36)
    12. Take the Long Way ⭐️⭐️ (34)

    Put headphones on and listen to Retrograde, especially the last 90 seconds. Simply amazing. And then into River Cross. This has become my favorite part of the album. At first I was in love with the first half of Gigaton and thought it fell off just a little. My view has completely changed. It’s phenomenal top to bottom.

    1-2 can flip flop, depending on the day
    3-5 can do the same 
    Top 7 are without a doubt, some of their best work since Binaural.

    I'm not yet sure about 8-12, but my 7 favorite songs on Gigaton are:

    1. Superblood Wolfmoon - best PJ song since Save You on Riot Act.
    2. River Cross
    3. Dance of the Clairvoyants
    4. Whoever Said
    5. Comes Then Goes
    6. Quick Escape
    7. Retrograde

    I think the band knew what they were doing with regard to the order of songs, as the best seven include the first four and last three songs. I'm so thankful for this album!
