But it is realistic to expect anything on Dark Matter to approach the greatness of DOTC?

Granted, heard-through-a-door hot takes are stupid, but the optimist/wishcaster in me can hear a "logical extension" in those clips.

Wow, severely underestimated the Gigaton love in here. Now, I'm no Gigaton hater. I think it has its ups-and-downs and is fine overall. I guess I really have to reset my expectations of "heavy!" when used to describe old-dude Pearl Jam. This happens every album cycle for the past 20 years, and I always fall for it. Who knows? Maybe my thoughts will change when the door is taken out of the equation.

Maybe the door is making things better. Remember the old muffled "Infallible" leak?

I’m picturing more of a blue oyster cult thing, where Gigatron is a robot trapped in the ice, set loose on the world like Godzilla thanks to the combination of climate change and the mythical powers of the Superblood Wolfmoon

This thought refuses to leave my mind.
I'm still hopeful though.
We heard a lot more through that door than we did in the muffled Infallible leak.
Everyone's hard-on seemed to come from the Tremor Christ-like heavy strumming, which was the only thing discernible from that super crappy audio.

Only listened once but the door clips didn’t give me many Gigaton vibes. Then again, it’s behind a door.
