Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Val]

Holy crap, a lot must have happened today (while I was trying to work!) Is it just the new clip of Running that I missed? Or was something else teased too?

We have two clips so far, Something Special and Running

[McParadigm]

I'm curious about Atmos but I'm a complete noob to it. What is the most basic setup that one would need at home in order to experience Atmos?

A speaker that has a small Atmos logo on the back

Thank you.

This was pretty good improv, guys

[Ms Harmless]

Something Special has sports ball noise all over it though

When Eddie sings "Was cleared for... for liftoff", this is what it reminded me of



go to 2:17

I like all the space and the pushes in this chorus, it's giving Matt time to do fun stuff like triplet fills

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[lecherouslittlestump]

Enjoyed this clip.

Lmao at the people who are whining that the production is too "commercial". Admit it, you became Pearl Jam fans after listening to the glossy, reverb-soaked Even Flow or Jeremy from Ten. Not miserable "organic sounding" dirges like Thumbing My Way.

how many tunnels would a woodchuck funnel if a woodchuck could funnel tunnels

[Coach]

You are light

[stip]

That sounded pretty cool!

[stip]

it's weird, in the abstract, to think that this song and something special are on the same album

[stip]

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!

I suspect it is flooded, not funneled

Not really any prior reference for what Eddie's doing with his vocals here, at least in this clip

Whoever said Pearl Jam doesn’t care (at least to trag levels) about the production on their records is likely correct.

Still waiting on pics of trag and strat with their Grammys tho.

Lots of shitty music wins grammys though, dude.

Oh look, Pirchfork’s editor in chief weighing in.

[stip]

I think this is going to be a pretty good record, team

[Anders]

I think this is going to be a pretty good record, team

Seconded.

Running clip > Dark Matter clip > Metal door leak > Something Special clip

I hate that the best part about this clip is the little glitchy guitar sound effect.

Riot Act is the warmest, most analog-y sounding record they've made. I love the Jack records too but a lot of the production has to do with the fact that Jack used Ludwig supraphonic (aluminum) snares. Matt prefers darker sounding snare drums (copper etc). The snare drum alone can change the whole sound.

Great post

My dad has one! They didn't actually give him a statue though, which is lame.

Another layer of onion peeled away…
