Maybe if you went back and listened to Lightning Bolt or Gigaton over and over, you would discover that you like them more than you think you do.whoyouare72 said:new Pearl Jam album that I want to listen to over and over and over again!!!

I recently listened to Gigaton for the first time, and it's a very decent album. My expectations were low based on what I had heard about it. But I found myself grooving and enjoying most of the Gigaton album. It's pretty good.BF25394 said:

And agreed on Dark Matter, endless praise, top 5 PJ album. Timeless classic. So grateful that we got this delivered to us. Pearl Jam was already legendary, and still gifted us with Dark Matter.

Only here
gigaton was heralded by critics, fans alike
i agree DM is better, but why some feel the need to compare and disparage 🤷♂️
thats PJ… they make music THEY want… that’s the way it should be0 -
I actually did that the other day and I actually enjoyed them less than I thought I did.BF25394 said:

I think DM being so good actually makes it more noticeable how weak some of the songs on those albums actually were.0 -
Exactly! It has been five weeks and I still want to listen to it all the way through. Love it. Been a while and didn’t expect I would like another one like this. I assumed I had just moved on from their style of music.whoyouare72 said:new Pearl Jam album that I want to listen to over and over and over again!!!

Totally agree about the new album throwing some shade over some of the recent stuff.PJNB said:

Wait, you listened to it for the first time ever, or for the first time in a while?MikeDigs said:

You listened to them over and over the other day? I'm talking about sustained listening over a period of time.PJNB said:

For what it's worth, Dark Matter has a Metacritic score of 81. Gigaton has a score of 80.

Exactly this. For me, Dark Matter really highlighted how average the last 3-4 albums actually are. Of course each has some highlights but this new work blows it all out of the water.PJNB said:

I’ve listened to them plenty of times in short periods. About half of Gigaton I think is great. LB is by far PJs weakest album. Although I love Pendulum!!BF25394 said:

I heard the singles many times, but yes first time going thru the album. It's decent. I need to go thru LB and BS too. Not sure why I never listened to BS yet. Out of Giga / LB / BS, I like the singles from BS the most.BF25394 said:

Have you been in the Ten Club all this time? I'm honestly confused at how someone who belongs to Pearl Jam's fan club would have multiple Pearl Jam albums that they never listened to.MikeDigs said:

I was directing the post to whoyouare72, who said he had not listened to a new Pearl Jam album over and over in 15 years (i.e., since Backspacer). I understand that there are people like you who either don't like or have mixed feelings about these records after giving them some time. I just don't understand why people would give them short shrift from the jump. (I mean, I understand it in a sense-- Pearl Jam fans are older now, they have jobs, they have family responsibilities, they waste enormous amounts of time on the internet that they didn't in 1993-- but I don't understand it in the sense that, for me, as a card-carrying member of the Pearl Jam fan club, a new Pearl Jam album is a major event that always precipitates daily listening to that album for months on end. That has always been a joy for me, not a chore.)Abe Froman said:

I joined 10c recently with Dark Matter release and 2024 tour. The past few albums hadn't excited me as much. But Dark Matter had me intrigued from the first single and pulled me in.BF25394 said:

I kind of figured that might have been the case. Well, welcome to the fold. But don't decide the albums don't excite you until you give them at least a few listens! You might not believe it, but there's some stuff on those albums that's even better than "Hummus"!MikeDigs said:

It is a major event, but the albums weren’t consistent enough for me to want to listen to all the way through. Gigaton has about six songs I would skip every time. Dark Matter has none.BF25394 said:

Thank you! True I need to dive in and give the albums a good listen to decide. Hummus is a bangerBF25394 said:

I see right away that there are def some gems on these albums. I'm spinning, oh-oh-oh I'm spinning0 -
I agree! I can't listen to it just once. Everytime I listen to it I have to play it twice through. What a great feeling!whoyouare72 said:new Pearl Jam album that I want to listen to over and over and over again!!!
