Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Val]

8. Running – 2:19

I’m wondering if Running is going to be a Spin The Black Circle/Comatose type rocker.

Maybe it’s a “Lukin”

Or maybe it’s a “red dot”

I personally wish it were a “Pry, to”

I love Unemployable!

I think it's usually in people's top 3-4 on S/T. But I've always disliked it. The Shania Twain critique have for LTRP (a song I do like) always rang truer to me here

It's a Bruce song. C'mon man.

[stip]

I also think Eddie's Springsteen inspired class stories can come across as slightly condescending, which is weird because I 1000% believe the sincerity and authenticity

[Ms Harmless]

I'm OK with Shania Twain; I deeply resonate with feeling like a woman

actually I agree at times, especially with The Haves; it's cute, but... really? anyway I think this new song has some really good political writing

Who doesn't like Unemployable? Fools!

[evenslow]

Yeah Unemployable single-handedly lifts up the second half of Avocado. Doing yeoman's work on side B.

I'm hating the sound of the single the more I hear it. I predict I'll play the hell out of this album for the first two weeks it's out, then for the week leading up to whichever show I attend.

After that, it's back to Vs - S/T.

[Ms Harmless]

I love Dark Matter

[ABNorman]

Have we done Metal Door/tracklist guesses yet?

0.00 - 0.20: Scared of Fear or React/Respond
0.20 - 0.39: Wreckage
0.40 - 1.04: Dark Matter
1.05 - 1.47: Upper Hand? (Sounds like it's a longer one)
1.47 - 2.18: Won't Tell? (Eddie mentions a "secret")
2.18 - 3.01: Waiting for Stevie?
3.02 - 3.31: Something Special
3.32 - 3.49: Got To Give (Sounds like the last audible line is "Somethings... gottagive")

S/T's production doesn't bother you? That and Lightning Bolt are bottom of the barrel for me in terms of how they sound

To be fair, some of that may be more performance choices on S/T. But one of the reactions I had to the first few listens of Dark Matter was that this is the energy severed hand was trying to get to
