Pearl Jam's Gigaton

2020-01-22 by Raul Stanciu STAFF | 36 Comments
On March 27, Pearl Jam will release their first album in almost 7 years, entitled Gigaton. The band announced the track list, artwork, tour dates and first single, 'Dance of the Clairvoyants' as well.

Regarding Gigaton, guitar player Mike McCready mentioned:

"Making this record was a long journey. It was emotionally dark and confusing at times, but also an exciting and experimental road map to musical redemption. Collaborating with my bandmates on 'Gigaton' ultimately gave me greater love, awareness and knowledge of the need for human connection in these times."

The album's cover features Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist Paul Nicklen's photo "Ice Waterfall." Taken in Svalbard, Norway, this image features the Nordaustlandet ice cap gushing high volumes of meltwater.

Listen to 'Dance of the Clairvoyants' below:




Track listing:

1. Who Ever Said
2. Superblood Wolfmoon
3. Dance Of The Clairvoyants
4. Quick Escape
5. Alright
6. Seven O'Clock
7. Never Destination
8. Take The Long Way
9. Buckle Up
10. Come Then Goes
11. Retrograde
12. River Cross

Why is this song 5 minutes long? After a certain point it just becomes insufferably boring.

A bitter tasting liquid jam made of broken mixing desks, cut guitar strings and human turd

That was hard to listen to. Everything (except for the bass) just sounds like total garbage. What a shame.

Absolute fucking pig swill.
By trying to stay relevant and looking to appease the young demographic they’ve become the most irrelevant and fucking useless thing on the planet. On top of this absolute bollocks how much will you be charging for a ticket to a show? 80 quid? 120 quid?
Cunts.

Let's be honest, the probability of this site having anything positive to say about this band post Vitalogy is less than 1%

You guys need to lighten up. I’ll take this over the lame dad rock turds they’ve been churning out the last 15 years.

Sputnik comments calling out the relevancy of Pearl Jam. Oh, the irony.

Very good point, but at least we're self aware enough to realize that we're irrelevant.
The difference is Pearl Jam still thinks they're hot.

I hated Incubus' new song too at first but it grew on me. I guess all the 90s dudes are new wave bands now?

"Pearl Jam still thinks they're hot."

Citation please.

Is this being released not proof enough?
Sounds like a desperate last gasp of air someone takes before getting swallowed by the sea.

The comparisons to sputnikmusic.com make themselves.

Does it? Just sounds like a band making music to me. Maybe the music isn't good, but it implies nothing about what the band thinks about who or what they are.

Hold tight, I'll write you my 10 page thesis statement about my off-the-cuff comment in a minute.
In the meantime, here's something for you to consider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D6Zi9OlUVM

It’s a 3 for me. Not bad. The synths did feel very strange in a PJ song though.

Last album was really dull tho — but Getaway is a great fucking song. One of their best.

Song's alright, it's always a blessing to hear Vedder singing, but what's up with the electronic drums?? Song would be so much better with... well... a drummer?

I hope there are some rockers on the album, I really dug the self titled and Backspacer for their uptempo tunes

Backspacer is actually really good, pretty underrated. Unthought Known is top notch Pearl Jam.

St/avocado was just alright for me, felt pretty one dimensional. Marker in the Sand is fucking awesome though.

I am just listening to "Quick Escape" and it's actually pretty solid.
