So is this the album cover art? I like it. But is it? If it is, why was it posted under "humor"? What is going on here. Is the truth out there? Or are we just jerking off?
If that’s actually it, it would be much better than the other one a few pages back. It’s definitely similar to the Binaural cover art.
A reverse Google search shows this is a generic 'dark matter' image, e.g https://www.cnet.com/science/space/deco ... t-mystery/

That doesn't preclude it from being the album cover of course.

and from what I can tell, I'm excited to hear everything

there doesn't seem to be any superficial punk rockers or anything trying to be "fun" or "funny" (a miracle at this point), and we seem to be getting an album full of mid-tempo rockers, something I've really missed from them

if the lyrics don't ruin these, I think we're in for something good

one thing Earthling did very well was make Ed's vocals shine and this sounds similar in that respect
Pretty much all of this.

The above is 100 percent true. We will have a completely new place for puns and speculation thread. The 13th album thread :bammer:

Lol, I don't know who did it, but you do realize as soon as there is an official announcement, this thread will be locked, and stip will create the new official album thread, right? No one wants this to become the official album thread and have to sift through 200+ pages of speculation and shitty puns.
ORLY?

I made that thread months ago. It's just waiting to get busted out of the mod forum.

We'll spin it up once we get the first single and probably lock (and link to) this one

I like that sound for them. The lyrics to Sirens were shmaltzy, the rest was good.
a good schmaltz though. it has its place. everything in moderation

sirens is a good song
its the best bon jovi song eddie vedder ever wrote

my dog just schmaltz'd in the house

I adore Sirens, still, for all of its funny little schmaltz

do I think it could have been edgier? of course, but it's far and away the best song on Lightning Bolt imo

It is an exact match of the chungus YouTube guy’s description. Not sure why it would be posted under humor. Prob a mistake.

But, I like the jerking off possibility better. When do we start?

Has there been not a single official announcement by the band about Dark Matter?

All of this silence about it after the listening party has me going to the Pit to browse. I hate it.
