Une autre interview de Josh Evans:

This situation has changed many things, even in music. Several artists have also chosen to postpone the release of the albums.
The thing we are most concerned with right now is not so much the promotion of the album, but the impact of all this on people. On the one hand there is health, then there are the effects of the situation on life, affections, and work.

The lyrics of the album speak of resistance to the distortions of this time, of a world that seems to have gone mad. Thinking that they were written long ago, they seem almost prophetic compared to the days we are living ...
Each member of the band contributes to the lyrics, but there is a sort of pact based on common respect: they do not explicitly question the themes of the songs. Nobody says, "We want or have to talk about this or that."
But the magic of bands like Pearl Jam is to know how to write things that remain relevant, indeed in this case they become even more important than when they were originally composed. I think they caught the air that pulled and I think these songs will help someone get through this phase.

This album had a very long gestation. Why?
They have been on tour a lot in recent years. But in reality they never stopped working and throwing down ideas. They are not the types to post everything they do on Instagram, on the contrary ... They began to think seriously about the album in 2017, then there was the death of Chris Cornell, whom they were very close to, and which had a big impact both creative and obviously emotional.
There have been intense periods of work, and equally intense periods of life. These pauses have allowed the band to switch back to the songs every time with a new perspective, and it has happened at least two or three times, in this period. In 2019 the songs were there, and the last part of the year was hard work.

One of the big changes on this album was the choice of a new producer. You took over from Brendan O’Brien, who is only present as a keyboard player in a couple of tracks. How did this decision come about?
The band was ready to experiment with something different, to do things they wanted to try for some time without having had the opportunity. I contributed to this process, but the credit is theirs. I was just in the right place at the right time.
After being on tour with them for the past two years, I basically became their reference sound engineer for every project, even solo. So when they started working on the demos on the record, I took care of it. They sounded good and we went on.

Before, you were talking about a new perspective. "Gigaton" is a recognizable disc, but with several new features. What was the goal of the band?
I think the band was more open. "Dance of clairvoyants", for example, was assembled piece by piece by the band, not with everyone together in one room. This method allowed more freedom: Jeff arrived one day and tried a keyboard tour, and he took the time he needed, without making the rest of the band wait. Then Stone came, and thought of other parts, keeping the ones he liked. And so on.

So "Gigaton" can be considered a "study" record in every sense, right?
Yes, in general. But we didn't want a sound that was cold and perfect, we wanted an organic sound. They are always Pearl Jam… The basis of several songs was recorded live in the studio, then perhaps sounds or parts of previous or later versions were added.
It is a record that assembles several elements, but maintaining the underlying energy of Pearl Jam: they remain a crazy band live.

From this point of view, I was struck by the sound of the guitars: very dry and clean.
I don't think it was one of the things that the band explicitly looked for, but it is my fixation: I am a guitarist, I spend a little more time on this aspect. I spent a lot of time with them, I saw hundreds of their concerts, I know how they sound and I consciously and unconsciously tried to capture that energy.

On the disc there are some more or less explicit references: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Who, Talking Heads.
I've known them for years, and they introduced me to great music: the first Pink Floyd, the first Genesis. Each of them has very eclectic tastes and brings them to the studio. But this time they were also determined not to set limits. When I heard "Dance of the clairvoyants" I said: great! But I asked: is it okay for a Pearl Jam record?
But they didn't care if it sounds too much or too little Pearl Jam or something else. It just had to sound real and honest. And that's why it works: they don't try to follow a fashion or replicate themselves, but play something they believe in.

What is the song that has come better, in your opinion?
It's like choosing your favorite child, but if I speak from the point of view of the producer and sound engineer, I think "Alright", because in the end it's exactly how I imagined it and it sounds like I wanted it to sound. When you start you have a vision of how you would like every single instrument and detail to come. And then "Clairvoyants", which is totally out.
In general, however, I could not indicate Pearl Jam my favorite song. I am 41 years old and "Ten" is obviously a life changing album.

How will these songs play live?
We were rehearsing it live before postponing the American tour: the songs sound great too. The time will come when we will play them live, hopefully soon.

Et voilà, je me suis fait avoir par vos avis plutôt bons, j’ai commandé le vinyl. Nomdedoum.

[ward littel]

Tu as bien fait !

Même si je suis une groupie, je pense que c'est leur meilleur album depuis... longtemps.

Et voilà, je me suis fait avoir par vos avis plutôt bons, j’ai commandé le vinyl. Nomdedoum.

Je me tâte aussi. CD ou vinyl, difficile de choisir sans écouter l' album et savoir lequel est le plus approprié.

[froggy bunnyman]

Ai écouté le snippet de River cross... au casque... ce son... cette voix....

Plus qu'un dodo pour découvrir l'album

PS
Les modos, peut-on supprimer cet émoji qui ne sert plus à rien en ce moment de confinement.... :

Première écoute et excellente surprise. J'avais été déçu par le premier single mais l'album est vraiment très bon, bien meilleur que les deux précédents.

[CrazyHorse]

N’ayant plus de platine cd digne de ce nom, j’ai confiné mes cds en attendant, donc choix facile.

Tu as bien fait !

Même si je suis une groupie, je pense que c'est leur meilleur album depuis... longtemps.

Eh bien c’est décidé, tu seras responsable si l’album est pourri. Ta famille sera maudite sur treize générations. D’ici au prochain album donc.

[CrazyHorse]

Je vous laisse, y a un nouveau NIN en téléchargement.

Tant que c'est pas d'ici au prochain "bon" album

Cela dit google me pousse toutes les reviews de média US généralistes et manifestement consensus général sur la qualité du disque. Dire qu'il suffisait de virer BoB

Merci d’avoir rectifié.

À moins d'un coup de bol et qu'il arrive demain, ça ne sera que pour lundi (heureusement que j'ai le moyen d'attendre ).

Je retrouve plus le post avec qui a composé quel morceau, si quelqu'un a ça sous le coude?

Merci

Par contre, je soupçonne Matt d'avoir pondu Take The Long Way, le maillon faible de l'album.
