Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Fattie_Vedder]

Fucker takes private jets just to go the store ffs
Don’t even asks out touring it’s private jets and vip loungers all the way
Do not put your hope in him.

Your problem is clearly with celebrity in general, not EV. Hey, that reminds me of my favorite saying:

"I hate humans in general, but I love them in particular"

I like that a lot. Stealing it.

[Ms Harmless]

celebs will always disappoint you

stan no one, leave em in the dirt when you've had enough, enjoy what you enjoy critically

JK Rowling will never get a penny from me, Ed is alright

Fuck that terf Rowling

it means a lot to read that here

[Strat]

Strats next goal is to Collab with EV.

Stay tuned

[Noaheb]

The experience and emotions tied to listening to Dark Matter are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes.

amazing!

There’s plenty of shitty, racist politics here, and I don’t mean from the far right conservatives either. It’s often from liberal democrats who are selectively (and mildly) progressive on some issues and are not willing to risk anything to make real change.

The political spectrum is a circle

Been reading this board for years. I've almost never posted. At 43 years old, all I really care about is whether or not I like the new album. Although I don't know them personally, I trust that the band will never completely abandon their authenticity, in terms of what they stand for, the politics and all that. At the same time, I'm not hung up on the punk rock mentality the way I used to be. In other words, at this point, I couldn't care less if Ed is a Taylor Swift fan or not (for example) - whereas, my 25 year old self would probably lose sleep over it. His daughters are probably Swift fans and he's just being a good, supportive dad. What's more punk rock than that? I can't wait for the new album. If my ears are happy, I am happy.

absolutely, fence sitting is a problem

a lot of people quoting "I have a dream" without the uncomfortable bit about "the white moderate" being the greatest barrier to equal rights

basically yes

disliking Swift isn't punk rock, the redistribution of wealth is punk rock

amen. on the t-swift thing, and as the father of three girls who is constantly trying to invest in their interests and find common ground and art to enjoy together, it is a positive thing in my mind.

As a 45-year old dad, this perfectly sums up how I feel. For me, it'd feel a lot more disingenuous if EV was pretending to be angsty and brooding at this point. Write what you know, right?

“We used to dance, we had our own scene” sounds like a Hold Steady lyrics. And that’s no bad thing.

I actually don't like that lyric on paper, but since multiple reviews have highlighted it I assume it works great in the moment.

[VinylGuy]

fucking Pinfield has the new album?

Leak already
