Em gigaton, os pearl jam empenham-se musicalmente em não se repetir, mesmo que isso cause indignação em muitos dos seus fãs. Os tempos actuais são de mudanças à escala mundial, Eddie vedder e os outros sabem disso, e expressam-no liricamente e não só em grande parte das canções de gigaton. Até mesmo quando a banda joga seguro, como em Superblood Wolfmoon ou Never Destination, a sensação que fica no ouvido depois da primeira audição é de falhanço, mas com o tempo começam a notar-se pormenores de produção que fazem de gigaton um álbum diversificado e surpreendente a cada nova rotação.
Um solido 7 em 10.

I never had the chance to delve deep into Pearl Jam's work, therefore I am not in a place to position this album in their discography. Musically, it is divided into an energetic first half with groovy moments and chunky riffs, whereas the second part contains some smooth, pleasant ballads. Lyrically is very solid and Vedder's vocals are unassailable. Recommendations: "Seven O'Clock", "Dance of the Clairvoyants", "Who Ever Said", "Quick Escape".

My first impressions on Gigaton reminded me of No Code. Like the album released in 1996, this one is also musically diverse but somehow inconsistent. Some songs have no bridge or chorus, and many of them go beyond their ideal length. I hope it will grow in me over time, but time is something that I don't have much to listen to music these days.
Although, I do like Buckle Up. It makes my 7-month daughter smile.

It was challenging at the beginning, but after a couple of listens on gigaton, i noticed something different from the last albums from pearl jam, and that is the lyrics department. Eddie Vedder really takes a big step forwards to became the last greatest lyricist in rock and roll, and he uses current themes like climate changes, human migration and even trump presidency, to prove us that he deserves to be compared to Dylan or Springsteen. the other band members also try to improve the band music and each of them contribute with their best performance in a long time.
Highlights: Dance of the Clairvoyants, Superblood Wolfmoon and Retrograde

Pearl Jam is the only rock band formed in the early 90s that dont have a really really bad album in their discography. Sure, there are some albums more experimental or consistent than others, but they never released a album capable of alianate or divide their fan base, like Amnesiac, Zeitgeist or Ratitude. I do think the album starts quite strong with tracks like Who ever said and Quick Escape, but then it goes a little off the rails in the middle section, only to recover in the end with a trio of beautiful ballads.
Some people might complain about the album inconsistency, but i think Gigaton is just another solid pearl jam album.

Gigaton is not a disaster or even a new masterpiece. It falls right in between of those categories, like most albums the band have been releasing since vitalogy in 1994. There is mid-tempo songs with anthemic chorus, a pair of fast ones to pump up the blood, and of course, a couple of reflective and introspective acoustic ballads. The album lenght might scare occasional fans, but the songs have enough diversity to keep everyone interested for a dozen of listens.
Dance of the clairvoyants and Seven O Clock have potential to become interesting jams on their live shows.

It was a matter of time until a new album by pearl jam start receiving many users ratings under 2.5 on this site.. It happened to Dylan, Bowie, Springsteen, U2 and even Kanye. Its the sign of times but since everything above 3.0 can be considerered relatively positive, we can assume that eddie and the boys still have a couple of good albums in them. Already counting with this one.

Gigaton provides as much fan service as Pearl Jam will ever permit. And in the end, it is as close to the band's Who's Next as we will probably receive. The earlier single release for Dance of the Clairvoyants caused ripples for its overdubs and disco lite bass yet indicated a willingness for a veteran band to exhibit experimentation. The track list unsurprisingly is a take down on the current state of affairs. The anarchistic anger and consequential activism is rejuvenated in Eddie Vedder's lyrics with the band itself showing punch and energy seemingly a bit lost since the days of Yield. For the greying PJ fans, enjoy this one for what it is.

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. It's far from a complete listen, but a few tracks sound like peak-era PJ. Quick Escape is such a jam. They need to hand the keys to Ament more often.

Eddie sounds great but most of the songs sound same-y.
Standout tracks: Seven O'Clock, Retrograde

Greetings beings of the past.
I have travelled from a distant time far into the future to inform you that yes:
a Pearl Jam album in 2020 will in fact be awful.
Also sell all your stock in Disney, just a friendly tip.
I will take my leave now, farewell.
Edit: I see the cyberpolice is just as strict in your time as they are in mine, pastdwellers.
Just know that this is truly a 1.0 and please don't let it hit the Billboard Hot 100 like it
did in my timeline.

That single is TERRIBLE! I think Pearl Jam needs to retire now.

The single sounds like Spoon meets the Breeders. It has some 90's influence, but they are retaining their more minimalistic output
