No doubt. I rendered the tracks out of Reaper and it was redline city.

Other than Wreckage, i cant say for certain exactly who wrote what song.

And i fucking love that about this record. Its about fucking time.

They need to kill the whole bringing in demos for ed to pick through.

Took my dog to the dog park for a listen. So he got a huge extended game of fetch with 2 tennis balls and a racquet while I listened to the whole thing on my pixel Buds.

So Alby the dog absolutely gives the album 5 stars. But he thinks they made a mistake with the name and it should have been either "Park Matters" as it's his favourite place, or at the least "Bark Matter".

Nice way to start my Thursday, gotta say.

As far as I can see there's still no flac leak out there so my guess is that this MP3 leak is from a stream. But I am Sargent Schultz on this too.

Still looking forward to picking up my CD either today or tomorrow for sure.

There’s just so much joy or bliss in these songs…. The jams feel like being at a live show. Kinda amazing they pulled this off.

Its the album they should have made after backspacer… but all the rockers sound awful

the mid tempo songs are good but I get lightning bolt/earthling vibes rather than yield or whatever some people are saying

A good batch of songs, I don’t think FLAC or a declipped edit is gonna save it for me.

Setting Sun is an excellent closer. But I keep expecting to hear a fiddle in the second half of the sing.

McCready in that interview DarthVedder graciously posted last page: Dark Matter solo was first take. Fucking studmuffin
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Just finished first listen with headphones and My God. So much better than the crappy muffled theatre sound from last night. Goosebumps all over. New Pearl Jam hasn't made me feel like this in a long time.

Have had a couple more quality listens and the album is getting even better with each one. Gaining more and more love for Won't Tell and Got To Give and Scared of Fear to go along with early favs WFS, Upper Hand, Setting Sun and Wreckage. So much to love about this album!
