at this point its online clip vs formal release, but I think this is worse than DM from a production standpoint. A song like this needs more space than Dark Matter, which pummels by design and in juxtaposition to Eddie's performance
stip, I'm afraid every song on this album is bound to pummel.
This is pummel by design

Pummel by varying degrees, perhaps, but...pummel just the same.

I suspect this may have the challenge of S/T - where it's shriller sound worked really well on the fast songs (again, I think DM sounds great) but doesn't slower/more atmospheric songs justice).

Sorry dawg. It's what's so disappointing with all this: That even if they can pull together a few compelling compositions -- and Wreckage seems to suggest they can -- there's just not going to be any staying power for anyone who appreciates things like nuance or humanity in their recordings.
I'd change that "appreciates" to "demands"

Whoa! This sounds! Definitely one of the Pearl Jam clips I've heard so far. Really gives me classic rock band that does mid-tempo/acoustic songs vibes.

Hope everything is OK and that you're currently feeling well...
Perhaps a leak in the next few days to brighten your spirits!

I too have been suffering from a health issue. Went in for a cystoscopy on the 1st of April. On some meds with not so pleasant side effects. New Pearl Jam should help.

I'm not good with puns, but taking a leak has been problematic and it seems getting this album to leak isn't any easier.
