Rising from the ashes of Relentless Pounding, Dark Matter is Pearl Jams best album since 1994's Relentless Pounding

I hear some C’s and G’s in there, maybe a little Em? Hints of 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures.

Very exciting!

Sounds super melodic. Not what I was expecting from their descriptions but cautiously optimistic about it.

Poor Matt. No matter what he does with this band, all of the drum snobs will complain it isn't enough like Dave A. or Jack I.

Def some intriguing parts to the clips.

Mike is wailing on the first track. I like it.

Already sounds different than Gig.

Still not sure if it sounds as good as the false alarm football game clip.......

Yeah, Wrecker sounded to me a bit too much like the opposite of Fixer

From what I can make out, yes, it sounds very melodic in a very good way. Unfortunately I feel like Ed's vocal and Matt's drumming stylings might be the album's detriment for mine own ears. Ed still sounds like a weird old baritoned lady and Matt just doesn't have a very good aesthetic feel, like.

Hard to tell from the clips but it sounds promising. I don’t hear much spritzy punk numbers which is excellent. For some reason Im hearing more fleshed out songs with melody than three minute throw away rockers. At least that’s what I’m hoping.

i can't believe how intently i'm watching this lol

one sound sounded like 'in my tree' drums, i hope that's matt's relentless pounding. i thought one solo was 'say hello to heaven' lol. mike slaying is kinda the only thing i can hear. and then there's like a swing track toward the end?

sounds like their best work ever lol
