• US Edition Sounds Superior

  5 von 5 Sternen

  I own both the US and EU editions (In The Midst Of The 6th), and I must say, the American version (Is This You?) is far superior. It's more vibrant and crisp, with a wider sound stage, so go for the US release.

• Decent, Familiar PJ Album

  Solid album, my rating doesn't undermine the effort, rather it places it in the fair assessment it deserves; Gigaton is a decent record. Neither exceptional nor disappointing. It sticks to PJ's classic style with some modern twists like in 'Dance Of The Clayrvotans', where the subtle electronic touch shines. Another album, but not an unnecessary one either. Perhaps not the most significant in their discography.

• Sound and Packaging Excellence

  Echoing what others have said - the sound quality is top-notch, super quiet, and full of energy. The packaging is absolutely stunning - beautiful full gatefold printing on both sides, plus an insert book filled with awesome photos, lyrics, and credits. From start to finish, it's a fantastic package. You can tell a lot of love and care went into every detail. This is the kind of release other albums aspire to be.

• Punchy Bass, Crisp Sound

  I'd suggest this pressing... The bass is punchy.. overall sound is lively and crisp… I really like it! No hiss

• Mixed Feelings on Pearl Jam's Latest

  June 20. I initially set this album aside for a while, feeling a tad underwhelmed after my first few listens. It didn't quite feel like a record worth waiting seven years for. I recall the first half being solid, but then the slow tracks at the end threw me off. I wasn't keen on the pop track, 'Dance of the Clairvoyants' either. To me, blending in with the crowd isn't exactly standing out. Like many of Pearl Jam's later works, this one likely needs multiple listens to fully appreciate. So, how does it sound now? I'm genuinely fond of the opening track, 'Whoever Said?'. I considered suggesting it could be shorter, but it held my attention throughout, especially with the interesting shifts in the second half. 'Superblood Wolfmoon' is a solid rocker, and 'Quick Escape' being a single caught me off guard; it's just an average tune. 'Alright' has pleasant slow verses, but I can't shake the feeling that the keys are a bit irritating during these quieter moments, and ultimately, the song doesn't really go anywhere. I adored the beginning of 'Seven O'Clock', but then... 'Never Destination' was my favorite upon first listen, and it still is. It's great to have a rock song brightening up the middle of the album. It stands out so much more than the surrounding tracks; why didn't they include more of these? And finally, some brilliant work from McCready. He's largely underutilized on this album. 'Take the Long Way' is a decent album rock track, but it's not particularly remarkable. I'm drawn to the guitars in the slow 'Buckle Up'. So soothing. It would pair well with their 'Last Kiss' cover in terms of content and style. The acoustic-driven 'Comes Then Goes' is a great slow song, 'Retrograde' isn't bad, and I appreciate the organs in 'River Cross', another good slow track. Individually, these songs are fine for a change of pace, but ending with four slow, often aimless tracks makes the album's conclusion feel dragged out. It's not a bad album, but it lacks standout tracks, making it my least favorite Pearl Jam album. A generous 2.5/5.
