    A themed album about climate change with a consistent Pearl Jam-style rock punk mix. Synth and electronic sounds are used, an interesting addition.

    The album is decent. But no track on the album is (to use my own words) "a banger". All songs are good, but not one stuck with me.

    Much of the material here would fit seamlessly on any of their records since 1996's No Code. ... Gigaton is a reminder that Pearl Jam are a band totally comfortable in their own skin. [Jun 2020, p.104]

    Intricate and thought-out is the name of the game for Gigaton, the band’s 11th studio record and first in some seven years.

    It’s a big, angry, pile-driving, end-times heavy rock workout with frontman Eddie Vedder alternately spewing fury and despair at the state of the world.
