That's penultimate album levels of late alphabet.stip wrote:Time to move on to a serious topic of conversation. The song titles on Dark Matter lean really heavy into the back half of the alphabet
1. Scared of Fear 4:24
2. React, Respond 3:31
3. Wreckage 5:00
4. Dark Matter 3:31
5. Won't Tell 3:28
6. Upper Hand 5:57
7. Waiting for Stevie 5:41
8. Running 2:19
9. Something Special 4:07
10. Got to Give 4:37
11. Setting Sun 5:44
9 out of the 11 song titles (82%) come from the back 65% of the alphabet. How significant is this on a scale of very to extremely?
Album 13 will be 100% and the last song will just be called Zzz

Hints maybe but it's a much different feel overall to me. The drum fills at :14 and :25 are quite nice.Strat wrote:much better but now all i hear is rose of jerichoMs Harmless wrote:it's definitely higher qualityDDWJMUVW wrote:Hey

So no new clip today? Things tend to happen at 1pm EST. If they're trying to space things out evenly we could expect just a couple clips per week until the 19th.
