Dark Matter has clearly done well so far, regardless
Serious question: What's the usage of bots like these days to drive plays and streaming revenues/hype? I've not kept up with this at all, but if it happens on X it probably happens on streaming platforms.
Whatever it takes to feed your narrative, man.
did you miss the part where I said "serious question"? You really are a stupid dickhead.
I’m not sure anyone here believes it’s a question asked independently of your desire to bury this album and its villainous lead singer. But if you wanna call it serious, you do you.

Serious question: do you have to have over 40,000 posts to be able to call other posters a stupid dickhead?

We're focusing our energy on the wrong things here, children...No name calling.
How can this song possibly be a 5?

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

personally think we need to retire the word "irrational" from the forum

people be having different feelings, shit gets heated sometimes, skirmishes happen because emotional stakes are high; many of us have loved this band since we were kids; but we're all adults so "calm down" and "irrational" responses are kinda played out; most of us know what we're saying and we say it on purpose, even when we call each other names (and sometimes apologise afterwards)

on the contrary, I posted a 12-page missive yesterday that was completely calm and rational, and posited a completely reasonable question, and JamilyBro over here is all "you hate pearl jam!" Silly.
The stages don’t necessarily go in order, as long as we eventually reach acceptance.

Because they have nothing to do with this song. The only reason you put that here was because you refuse to believe people could love it.
