Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[oneway23]

You can focus on any part, tune your ears like an antennae, and turn your head like a horse...LOL Ed

Raz and I are on our 3rd play through. We are both delightfully pleased.

This is pretty shocking

gigaton is an excellent record top to bottom. its more cerebral and less visceral
than DM

When giganton came out I said it might be the best since Yield. Now after dark matter I’m wondering if gigaton was as good as I thought. Because dark matter makes Pearl Jam sound like a band that is not a legacy act and never stopped. Wreckage is just…great, no qualifiers. And it almost makes Gigaton seem weaker in retrospect. I think this album might actually hit far higher heights.

McCready interview havent seen before. If it’s not new I apologize

our manager, Mark Smith

I didn’t know they had a new manager.

[Arthur Morgan]

Interesting from the Mike interview(he’s always so open)

MM: I’m pretty excited. I think we have more work cut out for us than we know yet, and we’re starting early on it now. I’m going over all the songs, and Stone and I are going to get together and go over which guitar parts are which and have [touring member] Josh Klinghoffer in there, too. And then we’ll get together with the band and we’ll start kicking this thing together. We’ll have a whole new stage show planned out for this, visuals and things that will be emulating the Dark Matter record and adding and enhancing to the show that I think people haven’t seen Pearl jam do before. And I think that’s going to make their experience a really exciting one. That’s what we hope.

Kelly Curtis, who has managed Pearl Jam since its 1990 formation, has retired. Curtis, 64, stepped away from his role in August but did not make any official announcement at the time, Variety can reveal. Longtime Pearl Jam tour manager Mark “Smitty” Smith has assumed managerial duties for the Seattle-based 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

Do folks still need the liner notes? I don’t know if they’ve been posted yet. I received my bluray a day early (10C LP still hasn’t even shipped)

Yes, please! I'd love to see them, especially the lyrics.

You're a gentleman (I assume)

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Birds in Hell]

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?

For those of you anxiously waiting on an answer, it's the former.

All songs jointly credited to Vedder, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Cameron and Watt, plus Klinghoffer on Something Special.

Got to Give lyrics are incomplete, for some reason.

I agree with everything you just said. They reached FAR while making Dark Matter and it paid off.
