Pearl Jam will release their 11th studio album titled Gigaton on March 27, 2020. Gigaton is a word for a unit of measurement. It can mean a different variety of measurement but in Pearl Jam's case, with their political and environmental stance, it is likely that it means the measurement for the amount of Earth's ice that's melting due to climate change.
gigaton
[ gig-uh-tuhn, jig- ]
a measurement of weight or capacity. equivalent to one billion tons. Abbreviation: GT
It's been 7 years since Pearl Jam released Lightning Bolt and there were high anticipation from me and other fans on when the new album is going to come out and how its going to sound. Pearl Jam fans knew there was an album in the works so we were all anxiously waiting. In February, the band started dropping hints on Twitter on the name of the new album. It wasn't long until fans learned of the new album is going to be named Gigaton. Another twist to the band is the sound of the first single, Dance of the Clairvoyants. There's some cool electronic sounds to it. If you only recognize Pearl Jam by their early stuff, there's no way you'd think that this is a Pearl Jam song. I think it's the bands intent not to be categorized in having a distinctive sound by having an ever changing feel of each album. I went ahead and pre ordered both the vinyl and the cd version to add to my Pearl Jam collection. Take my money now! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album.

Quick thoughts on the first two singles:
Dance of the Clairvoyants:
The first single of the album. This is a great choice as the first single. It begins with some awesome catchy bass and electronic sound followed by the chorus, "Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore. When the past is the present and the future's no more. When every tomorrow is the same as before." Sweet! Stone Gossard plays lead bass on this and Mike McCready's guitar sounds is amazing. Can't stop listening to it.
Superblood Wolfmoon:
The second single of the album. This is a catchy, fast paced rock song. I liked this song a lot. One the first listen, I was hooked whereas the first single, Dance of the Clarivoyants, needed me a few listens for me to get its beauty.
