Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

"...'cos we left the fucking water running"

it sounds like "the sewage is the problem 'cos we..."

I wonder how close I'll be

The sewage and the plumbing cause we left the fucking water running — is what I heard

Concerns about Watt's production choices are legit. But if it's true that he helped inspire and energize the band, I'm willing to deal with whatever issues we have with the sonics, provided the songs are good and the performances are good.

[Strat]

You can hear a little of the band chorus chant at the very beginning that Stone mentions in his interview. This is the one that was supposedly Lukin-esque so word salad would make sense. My initial reaction to this was positive which was not so much the case with Something Special so I will take that as a win. Also, when did Pearl Jam conversation become so drum-centric--not the drummers but the sounds?

I mean, basically since PJ seemingly gave up caring about delivering amazing sounding records with character

Strat agrees.

Trag disagrees

[Ms Harmless]

That clip is good, but it seems suspiciously like a bridge, so there could still be plenty of spritz on this one.

agreed

I got a logical extension of Earthlings vibe with this one. Rose of Jericho flavor.

although I think Jeff said this was Big Sandy Punk, so I'm guessing he has the main writing credit

[VinylGuy]

i liked the clip enough

[Ledbetterdays]

Is someone cataloging an Urban Dictionary of Pearl Jam terms somewhere? Should it be its own thread?
-spritzy
-word salad
-hairplugs
-PRAMG
-logical extension (that's what she said)

[vedder316]

Also, was that the song stone mentioned Ed was almost rapping? I think its more that then word salad. I like the cadence and then it opens up more sparsely in the next set. Awesome

I think that was a certain verse of React, Respond? I could be wrong, I'd have to back and re-read the interview

Gigaton sounded really good to me. Loved the production and the mix.

I kinda know i wont be a fan of the production of this one, but it seems there is enough stuff in the music that will grab me for sure.

Out of
Control
lost in a tunnel
and the tunnels getting funneled
like the sewage and the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running
we're cleared for
for liftoff
I close my eyes
take off
living in the shadows
crossing my fingers
a date with the gallows
and a reprieve's not looking likely

[Anders]

[Jorge]

My favorite part of the album so far

[vedder316]

Does he say “hanging from the gallows”?

"a date with the gallows." I could be way wrong

[E.H. Ruddock]

a date with the gallows and a reprieve's not looking likely
-who could that be referring to?

I'll give you until 7 O'clock to figure it out

[Ms Harmless]

these are good lyrics, I have some hope for this one

[scrub12]

*waits for more clips that I won’t help find*

It’s R/R.

Devo and Police elements.

Im really psyched for that one.
