    I liked Gigaton a bit better than DM.  But DM is a solid album.  I like it better than Lightning Bolt, Backspacer, and Avocado. 

    I would predict a 2023-type year.  Detroit/OH/Pittsburgh, Carolinas/SE.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    I also prefer Gigaton but apparently that is absurd according to the Robert Christgau society in here. I must be doubly stupid because I saw the Green Day show this summer and it was fucking great

    I liked Gigaton much better than BS and LB but DM exceeds it in my opinion. 

    I have a dividing line after Avocado and DM is the best since.

    I have a similar feeling.  Anything Avacado and before is a different level.  Gigaton and DM are close and I like both.  LB is my least favorite.  I still find it really interesting the wide range of opinions on DM.  I get there have been differing opinions on other albums but have not seen so many that think it is one of their best of all time to being a good album but not great.  It will be interesting to see if this changes in a couple years.

    Setting Sun was sounding inspiring as a drove through the countryside with the fall colors this morning..as soon as Ed goes into if you could see..goosebumps.

    I shouldn’t have made my comment sound so negative, but the new Green Day album is to me their best since American Idiot. Definitely my most played record in the last year. Dark Matter on the other hand is the weakest album PJ have put out. But I think I’m probably the only PJ fan alive who thinks that.
    Saying Dark Matter is weaker than Gigaton as a fan of music is just absurd 
    Dark Matter is a god damn masterpiece compared to Lightning Bolt. 
    How blessed are we as a fanbase that the consensus worst album, Lightning Bolt, is still pretty fucking awesome?

    (I don't think Lightning Bolt is their worst, but I digress)

    New Green Day album was terrible imho. Also get second hand embarrassment looking at them. You can still maintain the punk aesthetic while acknowledging you're no longer in your late tweens or early twenties--just look at the other Bay Area bands. Ticket prices seem good though.
    New Green Day album is great. Much better than Dark Matter.
    They are both great

    I like Green Day just fine, just not saviors. In re: American Idiot, it's a little hard for me to take that song in particular too seriously when Bad Religion did a much better version of it a decade earlier.

    If I was a betting man, I'd say better than the leafs making it past the first round!
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Hang in there, pal.  You still have value as a person even if you like an inferior album like Gigaton over Dark Matter.

    Never Destination - country fair fare
    Comes then Goes - snooze fest
    SBWM - what?
    Take the Long Way - blah lyrics
    Alright - okay for a few listens but no indifference
    River Cross - okay for a few listens 

    Just too many blah songs.

    Nothing on Gigaton is as insipid as Something Special, which is around "Butterfly Kisses" on the schmaltz scale. Running is mid, with terrible lyrics, Wreckage is barely warmed over Heartbreakers, and React Respond is paint by numbers PJ.

    I was whatever on Running as a single but it works extremely well if you listen to Won't Tell through Running as one chunk
