Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[RockPusher]

Don't judge the sound quality too much from that clip- it has artifacts all over it and is definitely not even Spotify level.

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

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.

Agreed. Digging the new clip and Dark Matter. Seems like this album could be another winner.

I wonder how much they ever cared about that, maybe we just got lucky a few times

My phone has been dropped a few too many times and now everything coming from its speaker has a tremolo effect layered over it

Or it could me the production I dunno

This makes more and more sense the more albums they release.

Yea, probably not much

[Ms Harmless]

then again, they said they were unhappy with the sound of Ten for years so I don't know

[Ms Harmless]

I guess the closest analog I can find with this sound is Foo Fighters, which is fine; I think the Foos are a more boring band than Pearl Jam

[Vindicator]

Damn Running sounds AWESOME. A little word salad at the beginning made me wince but once the chorus and stuff kicked in, so catchy. Love it.

Even has a little Gojira - esque pick scrape??

[Tj]

This sounds like a chorus into a bridge

[Ms Harmless]

yeah I noticed the pick scrape, pretty cool; reminded me of the Even Flow intro

[Ledbetterdays]

this little clip could be interpreted as Mike Pence's state of mind on Jan 6th. Not just the date with the gallows line but the crossing fingers, trying to escape hidden away from the out-of-control plan that was playing out.

Why hasn’t anyone started a Running thread yet

[Monkey_Driven]

Why hasn’t anyone started a Running thread yet

B's still on the line with Brooklyn Vegan's customer service department

[E.H. Ruddock]

Why hasn’t anyone started a Running thread yet

Threads don't start until we have the full song released.

[spike]

Also, very curious about this new stage production he hinted at.

yes let's speculate the shit out of this people

They're all going to swing from metal meat freezer hooks in their backs for the encore

oh god not again

[Val]

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

Thank you!

[Ledbetterdays]

Kinda funny I think will be appreciated here. I posted draft lyrics over on that other place because people were saying they could not understand a single word. I then noted that the lyrics were posted and the person said I saw that but it will take a few listens before I can hear them. WTF?

[Ms Harmless]

funnels for the tunnelless

RELEASE ANOTHER CLIP
