Re: Dark Matter (song)
I listened to this song for the first time in at least a week last night. Taking out the need to dissect it a hundred ways, as a whole I really enjoyed it. Not as a return to form or throwback or anything like that. Just as the song standing on its own. I really enjoyed it on its own merits.

Re: Dark Matter (song)
Just listened to this back-to-back on Apple Music and then Spotify with my Air Pods Pro. I think I strongly prefer the Apple version. I hear more Ed-echo effects, and the drums and bass seemed more prominent to my ears. Apple Music is the most "band in a room" feeling I've gotten from this one so far.

Re: Dark Matter (song)

Re: Dark Matter (song)
Unfortunately, I don’t think so. I generally use Spotify, but iihave Apple Music as part of the ‘Apple bundle’, or whatever it’s called, that comes with Apple TV, storage, and other things.

Yeah, I only have it because of a free trial associated with buying the Air Pods.

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Select WAV, you'll get both the single and the instrumental version for $2.00 (we're talking about the same 58.1 MB, 48000Hz WAV file).

I changed my vote from 3 to 2 stars. Hadn't listened to it since release day. Sorry. Don't care much for this.

Re: Dark Matter (song)
it's the RM way - listen hundreds of times until you're bored out of your skull, then drop your score to a 1 or 2
