it's a better bridge, for sure, but I' much prefer Dark Matter to running (and I like Running). Dark Matter has an aggressive edge we haven't seen since Mind Your Matters or Comatose, and haven't seein a song that feels structured like an anthem since, I don't know? Do the Evolution? Vitalogy? And it works. I missed this so muchJaeti wrote:Running is better than Dark Matter.

Re: Running
And I like Dark Matter, too. Right now I feel like they're worth a combined seven stars (which bodes well for the album overall), and I had been splitting the allotment right in half. But I think things have shifted enough that DM should only get three, and Running should get four.stip wrote:it's a better bridge, for sure, but I' much prefer Dark Matter to running (and I like Running).

I like the bridge "backing off" in Dark Matter, there's a hint of Riot Act's measuredness in itTj wrote:YepJaeti wrote:Running is better than Dark Matter.

Re: Running
I’m all for liking Running more than Dark Matter. But the Dark Matter bridge is not detrimental to the song, in fact it serves as a very important shift in order to build up to the Mike solo explosion.Jaeti wrote:Running is better than Dark Matter.
