The response to the album has been a pleasant surprise, because this board was a tough read for a while.

Holding out another 6 hours for the real thing after the theater experience.

this is a completely unimportant aside, but I have been having trouble for MONTHS getting my itunes to synch with my itunes. It finalized my move to spotify. But it'll make it harder to listen to some of the evidently higher quality mixes.

The production doesn’t kill this album like it did with Earthling and Lightning Bolt. It’s a little shiny and bright but that is easily overshadowed by the songs themselves.

Apple continues to make this harder and harder. I feel you. Though, move to tidal. I think it's cheaper now

I'm definitely staying up to listen to this on Apple Music at midnight, just to see what sonic improvements my novice ears can pick out.

Dark Matter is already available in my Spotify and I set my download quality to the highest before downloading the album. I'm wondering if this is equal to the quality I'd get if I download the official Ten Club digital version. Can anyone with more knowledge than me shed some light on this?

At least your copy is moving - mine's still waiting to be picked up apparently

My 2010 Mac Book Pro is still going strong with iTunes - so I'm in luck on that front. It's funny how using iTunes is now old-school territory.

What's the go with the songwriting credits in the liner notes, are the songs credited jointly to all band members (plus Wotman) or is there some variance?

iTunes is an abomination and has been for quite some time.
