Won't Tell.....HOLY FUCK!

[AndySlash]

man, a lot of cool instrumental stuff going on everywhere completely obliterated by everything being fucking loud. jesus christ. a great headphone album you won't be able to listen to on headphones.

"Gather around, children..."

Helll of alot of compression! Could it be from the Rip? Gigaton kinda took care of that problem…are we there again?

Has to just be from the rip. No way

I've never ripped music from a CD in my life...Can you typically change the gain when doing that?

Alternatively, if this is done using internal routing -- like sending a streaming link to a DAW -- that is very easy to screw up if you don't know what you're doing.

This baffles me!

How ?

Strong opener 3, feels really weird for Dark Matter to follow these

[Release_Me]

Scared of Fear is infectious

Yes! It's everything a PJ rocker should be. Ed sounds great without even once needing to scream. I can imagine rocking out to this even 10 years from now. The bridge going back into the chorus, and then that outro just rules.

Calm yourselves and stay true, brothers! You've only a day to wait before you can be balls deep in the real deal, and not some skanky, leaky ho!

[Mike]

Enjoying Dark Matter more in the context of the album without it having the weight of being a single on its shoulders

[kurtman44]

Any links left??

[Mike]

Is Won't Tell Pearl Jam pop perfection?

[mikejasond]

I for one respect Trags dedication to his convictions and noticing things I never would on the sound

[Ms Harmless]

Is Won't Tell Pearl Jam pop perfection?

yes

[Homeboyd]

Watt must have told Ed to stay up til 4AM drinking and smoking before recording the Setting Sun vocal....has a great hungover quality to it.

[Release_Me]

Won't Tell and Waiting For Stevie are two slam dunk, no questions asked 5 star songs for me.....im in love!

The Won't Tell-Upper Hand-Waiting For Stevie sequence stands upto any 3 song sequence in the catalogue, for me. So damn good.

The Scared of Fear-React/Respond 1-2 punch is also pretty great. Then, the album ends so strong with Got to Give-Setting Sun. Setting Sun is an all-timer for me, while it took a few listens to unlock the goodness in GtG.

Is Won't Tell Pearl Jam pop perfection?

Without a doubt
