Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Mike]

Ah, I thought you were talking about using software amps and then putting that through real amps again. Or does that also happen?

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Mike]

It can, but more likely you’d take the totally dry guitar tracks that were recorded direct to your DAW then rub them through real amps

Getting educated here

[Mike]

Great, now youtube constantly recommends me Andrew Watt videos

To pour some oil tnto the conspiracy theory fire:


"And you love that setting on Guitar Rig"

He definitely SOMETIMES uses Guitar Rig

Well, wouldn't you know... there's one of these 5 minutes from my house. My wait time just decreased to 9 days.

How's everyone??

[Farmer John]

I'm so over this album. When's the next one coming out?

[Mike]

Excited for all the posting in this pearl jam forum the coming weeks

None of those locations are even remotely close to NYC so that ain’t happening, but even with waiting til the 19th, will I have the time to get through all their prior stuff in anticipation?

That means we're getting an exclusive album review 9 days before the launch, right?

OK, 8 days

[Mike]

How far is stip from one of these? Let's crowdfund sending stip to one

[VinylGuy]

he already sold us a book, he can pay this one for himself

[Ms Harmless]

[Mike]

What if he wrote a book about the experience?

[oneway23]

For anyone in the NY area...I see they're having one at Looney Tunes in West Babylon. That was a prime record store back in college, though I was under the impression that it closed ages ago. I'm glad to see someone pick up the baton and re-open it. Still, way too far for my non-driving ass. I can wait.

[Mike]

Nothing in germany wow they really hate us what did I ever do to you Eddie Vedder
fandom cancelled

Ooohh, great idea... I would be honored. It will be my turn to sound like a babbling, incoherent idiot suffering from memory loss and saying shit like "it reminds me of Vs"

One of those in-store listens is about 40 minutes from me, but I’ll have to skip it because I’m going to see monster trucks with my five-year-old.

Shoutout to SOLAT podcast who had Kyle Meredith on this week. He described a few of the songs from Dark Matter, most notably that Wreckage is a hit and resembles 'Long Way' from Earthling, Upper Hand is a "journey", and Got to Give very "who-like". Also talks about how if he had to compare Dark Matter to past PJ albums it's a mix of Yield meets Backspacer with strong influences from The Cure.

Most of this is knowledge we already got from some of the reviews but thought I would share. Its a good listen.
