For all the recordРІР‚в„ўs studio experimentation, the moments that cut through are the subtle choices he makes as a vocalist: his anxious speak-sing in РІР‚СљSeven OРІР‚в„ўClock,РІР‚Сњ the way he mimics the wordless refrain of the eerie РІР‚СљBuckle Up,РІР‚Сњ the seething cry of the chorus in РІР‚СљQuick Escape.РІР‚Сњ With songs contributed by each band member, Gigaton is an undeniably democratic statement, but Vedder remains their guiding light-the voice that allowed this particular band to outlast an entire generation of imitators. And if his lyrics occasionally come out jumbled (РІР‚СљThey giveth and they taketh/And you fight to keep that what youРІР‚в„ўve earnedРІР‚Сњ) or totally miss the mark (a reference to the title character of Sean PennРІР‚в„ўs novel), his performance is as keyed-in and comforting as ever. To unify this sprawling material, Vedder offers wordy, zoomed-out lyrics that directly address Trump, the climate crisis, and a growing sense of apocalyptic unease. For the first time in a while, the winning moments are the slower cuts: songs like РІР‚СљRetrogradeРІР‚Сњ and РІР‚СљSeven OРІР‚в„ўClockРІР‚Сњ that evolve patiently into their atmosphere, as opposed to pro-forma ragers like РІР‚СљNever DestinationРІР‚Сњ that never quite find their groove. Co-produced by the band and Josh Evans, itРІР‚в„ўs filled with all the markers of cerebral, studio-born rock music: drum loops and programmed synths, swirling keys and fretless bass, wide dynamics and spacey textures. After records like 2009РІР‚в„ўs Backspacer and 2013РІР‚в„ўs Lightning Bolt combatted their dearth of ideas with low-stakes thrashiness-a throwback to the rowdy garage band that they never actually were- Gigaton attempts to reinstate their ambition. ItРІР‚в„ўs hard to imagine this process leading toward a unified statement from any band, let alone one thatРІР‚в„ўs already been having trouble finding inspiration. In context, itРІР‚в„ўs more of an outlier: a reminder of their underdog mentality, that they have some fight left in them.Р”Р‡rom the sounds of it, Pearl Jam pieced Gigaton together from various sessions over several years, with Vedder adding vocals to the choice bits after the fact. From the curveball disco-rock of first single РІР‚СљDance of the ClairvoyantsРІР‚Сњ-a portal into an alternate universe where David Byrne produced the Who to soundtrack an РІР‚в„ў80s action film-the band immediately forecasted an attempt to revitalize its sound. The ballads stretch out slowly, and the uptempo numbers are derailed by meandering build-ups, like stopping for a chat while running in place mid-jog. You feel the weight of both durations throughout. At 57 minutes, itРІР‚в„ўs their longest album, as well as the one that took the longest to complete. One of the bandРІР‚в„ўs masterpieces receiving gold certifications from AustraliaРІР‚в„ўs ARIA, ItalyРІР‚в„ўs FIMI, and silver certified from UKРІР‚в„ўs BPI.Communal goodwill is the saving grace of Gigaton, their eleventh studio album and first in nearly seven years.
