Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[coptheriotact]

‘Setting Sun’ is an epic closer. Did it naturally feel like the perfect way to end the album?

We were looking for a vibe that felt percussive and cool and a little bit hypnotic without trying to get to any huge destination,

cool! like WMA

Jeff still in there with the kick.

Not a true isolation and there are really smart tools out there to get something good, they just cost money.

I thought I heard some of that too. Does that contribute to the dampened sound too? Because the drums sound terrible here.

But Matt’s playing is incredible. So many wonderful things he’s doing.

Cancelled my preorder after hearing the snippets… that production does not do these songs any favours. I had a fear when I hear that Watt was producing after listening to Ed’s solo album but thought PJs songwriting would shine through. This sounds like brickwalling gone awry

Can you get a full song credit, for coming up with only the drums on Dark Matter?

[Ms Harmless]

if your drum pattern is foundational to the writing, yes

[Mike]

Wreckage (watt/Vedder)

Where did this come from?

Edit: Ignore that, found it

Nah the whole band is credited on DM

I'm pretty happy that Dark Matter, Something Special and Running are not really named as the standouts so far. I think the best things are still to come.

I'm a bit of an annoying purist though and don't like Josh and Watt being involved in this capacity. Would be funny if Watt gets as many writing credits as Stone.

Thanks Anders. First two archive posts are updated

I thought it was kinda funny that Stone says Something Special was more of an Ed song. For me it’s a code for “it sucks”.

Kinda reminded me of Kim and Ben of SG talking about Halfway There when King Animal came out

“Yeah that’s Chris song, we did some stuff all over it and it was done”

[Ms Harmless]

lol yeah that was funny

That song really stood out like a sore thumb. Great album tho.

Weeeeeeell I don’t know.
Taree is the only recognizable SG song on this otherwise forgettable collection of songs
