Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[bodysnatcher]

I once sat next to Matt Pinfield at a Sigur Eos concert

[sweeper]

Yup, 2 questions to Stone for those scoring at home.

Also, I'm scarred from hearing that new Bon Jovi song during the telecast.

Looking at the PJ subreddit for the first time (I think?) and it reminded me a bit of scrolling through RM. I had no idea people there were so down on the new music, I expected it to be more fawning adoration.

Spritz was born from Green Disease - 100%

It’s an awful song.

G R….E E D

Yes, it is.

[lecherouslittlestump]

What was the first song that spritz?
Breakerfall has a little spritz

I define spritz as "throwaway fast song with punky edge." They've been on all PJ albums since Vitalogy.

IMO they are:

Whipping
Lukin
Brain of J
God's Dice
Green Disease
Comatose
Supersonic
Mind Your Manners
Never Destination
Running

Ole is probably one as well

[Val]

You cannot seriously class Whipping and Brain of J as "throwaway"

I wouldn't include half of those tbh. Big Wave should be in there tho.

[stip]

got some?

bottom line is this is pretty much a useless category

[oneway23]

This topic itself is spritzy, at this point...Everyone has a different take

[Ms Harmless]

yep, maybe PJ's intention has been to write so many spritzy tracks that the entire ideology of "spritz" eventually dies; they're on course

[Monkey_Driven]

Wonder what we will get this week.

Someone on the pit posted they heard Something Special during NHL game yesterday?

Yeah I do. "Throwaway" isn't necessarily bad to me, it just means they're minor songs.

Who sincerely thinks songs like Whipping or Brain Of J are highlights of their respective albums? If anyone thinks that, I will beat them to a pulp.

[lecherouslittlestump]

Got Some and Big Wave do not meet my definition of spritz.

It's a vibe. You know the spritz when you hear it.

Brain of J is on a whole other level. It's a rocker, like WWS (but better).

[DeeDee]

I think we agree if we say that most of the songs put on that list are at the very bottom of PJ repertoire, right?

Other than Brain of J and Whipping, none is even remotely close to their top... 100? 125?

And that's why I don't like when they take this route.

[Thurman Murman]

lol one of these tracks is not like the others. No way i can accept Brain of J being any sort of "throwaway".

Whipping i can actually somewhat accept as a "throwaway", but this was the type of "throwaway" the band could produce at their absolute peak. Its on a whole other level than songs like Supersonic, Ole, Running, Never Destination, etc.

Could be.

They already featured a snippet from Something Special on another sports broadcast like two weeks ago.
