Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Val]

Would it be too much to ask if someone could kindly add the “better quality mp3” link to Running to the first post in this thread?

You’re (we’re) caught in a tunnel
And the tunnel’s getting flooded
Like the sewage and the plumbing
Cause we left the fucking water running

I’m getting a kick out these lyrics actually.

i dropped it in the locked running thread

thank you!

I'm in love with the chorus of Running. Very uplifting. I can see it being great live

I think it's the bridge.

EDIT: No you're right that's the chorus, I too love it.

How do you know whether it’s the chorus or the bridge

Just a hunch.

yeah I like them too

[Ms Harmless]

someone needs to close the Running thread, this song is as "out" as I was in 2010

21% out?

yes

did somebody complain about the sound?

you have no idea!

fuck those people then

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?

It's about time that half of the alphabet gets a time to shine. For too long they've been towards the back of the line.

That's some serious skew.

now do all studio record song titles. would love to see a normal distribution. Stone is surely making this happen if we see a typical bell curve.

Like I would even begin this conversation without plans to do this for all studio albums. I'm a god damned professional

But did you only factor the first letter of the first word of each song title or first letter of each word if each song title? Merits new analysis.

just the first letter of the first word. Using each word is pretty much junk science

Running into Something Special could be a really jarring transition

[RockPusher]

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but didn't they have to use Shangri-La because Watt's studio was flooded? Wonder if that kind of wiggled itself into the lyrics/concept of "Running."

[Vindicator]

Running into Something Special could be a really jarring transition

Yeah that's probably going to suck. I'm also worried about Wreckage being a clunky ballad after the opening 1-2 punch of rockers.

yeah same

[Monkey_Driven]

Wreckage is a highlight of the metal door leak. I don't think it's a ballad? Hasn't it been described as more mid-tempo?

[Bi_3]

Hard to believe those lyrics were made up on the spot.

[Ms Harmless]

I still think it's "funnelled"

I hope it builds up to something

Its been described as acoustic chimey Tom Petty esque. Maybe not quite a ballad but who knows

[Mike]

is it not "sewage IN the plumbing" ?
