Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[lecherouslittlestump]

Initially I liked this but after 78 listens the sheen has worn off and this is firmly sitting as a bottom tier PJ album along with LB

[Monkey_Driven]

I remember really liking the majority of Backspacer on my first listen...

Buddy that's 62 and half hours

[stip]

So acknowledging it’s brand new and maybe swaying opinions, but better than Gigaton, LB, Backspacer?

i am resisiting the temptation to rank - partially because i love those albums and partially because this is such bootleg quality. And recency. i am just starting a second listen.

its very big and open. its not riff heavy. its basically 50 minutes of hooky vocal melodies held together with guitar solos and druns

[Thejambi]

There is no way I could possible rank the album based on these recordings but it is packing a strong punch.

[Ms Harmless]

as someone suspected, the two singles seem to be mixed way more harshly than every other track, it's really weird

Better than LB and Backspacer for sure. I'm a bit hesitant to say it's miles better than Gigaton because I loved Gigaton and I haven't yet heard DM in the proper quality nor spent enough time with these songs. It definitely has the potential to be bigger and better and it sounds like a more ambitious record, to me.

there is no one better at this

[Coach]

Wreckage is no Daughter.

Not sure this one will hold up.

Reminds me a bit of 7 O'Clock which held up for awhile, but then kinda faded

[Ms Harmless]

there's an 80s sheen everywhere, like we're listening to a lost record just on the cusp of the 90s, but I'll be damned: I grinned all the way through

Same, same

Human Touch Springsteen, Huey Lewis and The News, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, The Cure

[E.H. Ruddock]

This album is miles better than Gigaton

Time will judge you. Harshly.

Nah. Ed’s vocals on this are better than Gigaton. Although they suck on DM and Running

[SatanicDmitrispearljam]

The boys still have it in them to create music this damn good. I know some of this is the new album high that wears off, but I really think they hit this one out of the park.

A home run or a six?

For myself as a cricket fan, it's a six!

Ha. Pakistan zindabad!

Consider weighing yourself before and after listening to Dark Matter and post the results to the weight loss thread!

Only 4 songs in but it sounds more like 10/VS to me than later albums.

[Ms Harmless]

Setting Sun almost reminds me of Footsteps a bit

It sounds like a night out on the beach

the drum pattern and how it changed up is lovely, this is the one that made me cry

[Coach]

Have you ever peed before? Yes, I thought so.

Post your thoughts here. We want to hear more about your pee.

sounds like you answered this already but did these land better for you on the full album?

9 out of 10 Pearl Jam fans recommend the poop thread!
