Gigaton is the eleventh studio album by American grunge rock band Pearl Jam, released in March 2020 via Republic and Monkeywrench Records.
Produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam, Gigaton marks the band's first studio album since Grammy award-winning Lightning Bolt, which was released in October 2013.
"Making this record was a long journey," explains Mike McCready. "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."
Gigaton's cover artwork 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.
Members of Pearl Jam that recorded this album are:
- Eddie Vedder – vocals
- Mike McCready – guitar
- Stone Gossard – guitar
- Jeff Ament – bass guitar
- Matt Cameron – drums
The album has received very positive reviews, with Metacritic assigning a weighted score of 81 out of 100 based on 11 reviews.
Kerrang! writer George Garner gave the album a perfect score, and wrote: "…it's Pearl Jam's most incensed album since 2006. It's their most musically inventive since 1998. And, by virtue of its themes, it is their most gravely needed of their entire career. It is, in short, a triumph". Garner also noted that Gigaton "often zips along so quickly that on first listen it's easy to miss the details that make it so special…"
This double album is on black vinyl with etching on Side D, housed in a gatefold sleeve with a 28 page booklet, pressed in Europe via Republic Records.
