I'm glad you said this. I own the one for Gigaton on my AppleTV and really enjoyed it. I know the Atmos mix will be on disc 2 of the deluxe edition, but, nothing is mentioned of including a visual component on that one.Ms Harmless wrote:

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…

It's a Blu Ray, so it possibly includes the visuals.oneway23 wrote:I'm glad you said this. I own the one for Gigaton on my AppleTV and really enjoyed it.

Re: Dark Matter (song)
I sure hope so. I have the latest Tears For Fears record on blu-ray and there are no visuals whatsoever, just a menu and the song titles while the song plays.Birds in Hell wrote:It's a Blu Ray, so it possibly includes the visuals.oneway23 wrote:I'm glad you said this.

The new Porcupine Tree on blu-ray has each song as basically a background wallpaper with minimal movement.
FWIW, SDE in the UK makes no mention of a visual component in their listing. Doesn't mean it won't be there, but, it's not referenced, at least as of right now.
I'm hoping Apple makes it available as a complete package again.

Re: Dark Matter (song)
two things i really love about the DM chorus (which I think is pretty great).
1. Eddie’s voice pushes out to fill the space without getting too screechy or flashy about it - leaning into his organic power quite successfully
2. the way he pushes himself right up to but not beyond his break point, so the few moments he goes over have more impact

I like Eddie on both of these songs. These days I much prefer his shouting voice to his screaming voice.

I would definitely prefer dialed back Riot Act Eddie, but Gigaton/DM Ed is a big improvement over Avocado Ed.tragabigzanda wrote:John Prine had half neck taken out, dialed back his singing to something manageable, and finished his career beautifully.

Re: Dark Matter (song)
Gigaton, for the most part, sounded to me like Eddie sounds now, I think the positive thing there was more in the songwriting; he found ways to highlight the positive aspects of what his voice can deliver now. These new songs sound like he's moving farther outside of that space, so the results end up sounding like they've got a lot of polish on them (DM) or kind of confused, like the end of Running; I love what he's doing at the beginning of the track, where he sounds really locked in on the verses, but I don't know what he's going for at the end.

Re: Dark Matter (song)
I'm with Trag on this about Ed's voice. Binaural and RA indicated that Ed's voice was going to age nicely but the screechy-ness is too much.
There are plenty of singers who have had to adapt their voices with age.
