Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[tree_]

i actually liked the low-fi phone recording much better

[Ms Harmless]

Not only is Mike unashamedly soloing everywhere, every song is also unashamedly climaxing at the end

well, it sounds like he doesn't think he has much time left; wouldn't you?

I love that they're just going full-on on every song.

me too! yeah you could say there's too many, but fuck it, there's "too many" on Ten as well and who doesn't love that?

[Jefrey with One F]

I received a link, but says I need a decryption key. Any help?

[Ms Harmless]

yep

[Monkey_Driven]

Wow, so they really did it again. Two records in a row.

It seems that way, doesn't it?

[Mike]

Something Special - Got To Give is the serotonin boost I needed

[lecherouslittlestump]

album is mid

[Vindicator]

So theres a link?? I'll gladly take it!

[tree_]

i dunno.. i'm only listening on my desktop computer speakers but i'm not a fan of this album.. doesn't feel genuine or something.. i'll give it a generous 3 stars for now

[dad]

Got to Give is great. I love this iteration of Pearl Jam that uses piano/keys more.

[Mike]

I love how spontaneous Ed sounds on this records. Lots of little parts with lots of variation that don't seem too thought out. Just letting loose

[Ms Harmless]

Got to Give is great. I love this iteration of Pearl Jam that uses piano/keys more.

as long as it's not BO'B playing them

[Rangi Guy]

I just got an email from 10C saying "Your download is ready", got excited that maybe they're hooking people up who are waiting for physical copies, then open the email and its just for a download of Running.

What are these crackheads smoking?

yep - got it too of course, as my red 10c variant waits in fucking no man's land. Honestly we should all email them back a snarky response like...

Noticed the Email was sent as 'High Importance' too......

Got to Give is great. I love this iteration of Pearl Jam that uses piano/keys more.

as long as it's not BO'B playing them

I mean...as long as they're using 'em.

Agreed a few pages ago:

Dear PJ, not every mid-tempo rocker deserves a soaring extended outro.

K, bye.

I don't think it's a bad thing, but it does kinda make them not that special, added to my pet peeves about this release.
