Someone observed this weeks ago but I can hear elements of a slowed down animal in DM

Pleeease.

Alright!! lets do this now!!!


Fuuuck if that intro on Go isnt cool as fuck. I remember putting the song, kinda hitting the volume up and then BAAAM BAM BAM Dave A entered loud as fuck so my family could go crazy on

PUT THE VOLUME DOWN!

yeah Go is a top 5...everything works great here...Mike is on fucking fire, Ed is crazy...damn having listened to Ten recently i cant believe how different they sound.

[VinylGuy]

Animal daaaamn still a force after all these years. The band is TIGHT...Stone and Mike´s interactions are so fucking good my god. I love those guitars!!

Hi Dave A! Missed you.

[VinylGuy]

Well, Daughter is a great example on all the talk about PJ ballads or not....while this is not a ballad per se, its way more complex, Stone Gossard really shines here. I love what he brought.

Wish modern PJ did these types of song way more often, they were so good.

[VinylGuy]

Glorified G is the first of this one that took me a while to appreciate. The bridge is so good, very tight, the interaction of the whole band locked in, classic PJ was born in way i guess.

Jeff´s great here...he is using an upright bass here? and damn i love what Dave A does on the bridge.

[VinylGuy]

I love how different the production is from Ten, it does sound very bright and clear but the mix is amazing, and there are so different nuggets here and there...why cant Backspacer sound like this?

[VinylGuy]

Dissident is great specially because of those fucking tasty guitars and damnnn that bridge is still conquering after all these years....Dave A also gaves a great performance.

The guitars on this album are so fucking good

[VinylGuy]

Ahh the groove...how much groove this band had with Jeff and boths Daves...yeah, Ten is groovy AF...

WMA might be an experiment they didnt followed in their albums, but damn if it wasnt great....everything works here. Production is awesome.

Daughter couldn't have happened the way it did without Dave A.

someone compared a Dark Matter song to Daughter, let's see how that turns out

Probably yes, but they still dropped that type of song and boy, oh it was wonderful

I would be fascinated to see if a re-recorded 2024 version of Daughter with Matt Cameron on drums and Watt on production would ruin it for you

[VinylGuy]

I used to loved Blood because of how heavy and funky it was, i could show my RATM fans this one and say to fuck off. I still like it a lot, but its been a while since i wanted to listen to it.

Again, groove and funk is something is miss a lot these days. Im happy that they gained a bit of that with Gigaton and DM, the song.

[VinylGuy]

RVM is still a classic and i love how improved this one is live, with both Jack and Matt. I actually prefer this one live from 2000s onwards because the bridge is very Sonic Youth, very noisy and with Dave it was way more hard rock in a way.

The studio song is absolutely amazing. Pearl Jam right here.

I've missed the groove as well, glad some of it's back

with Matt? nah, i listened to matt live version since 1998 and i love it too.
Watt on production is another story, this studio version sounds awesome really, the guitar tones, the volume, the space.

[Ms Harmless]

hmmm, different strokes!

[VinylGuy]

You think Watt producing Daughter would be end of a better version?

[Ms Harmless]

no, I think Dave A's playing made the song and Matt's versions don't hold a candle
