I should have checked before now - does buying the CD from Pearl Jam shop or Amazon also come with downloadable FLAC? High quality mp3?

I enjoyed a cocktail on my back deck in the dark for my first listen. It was absolutely wonderful.

As more lyrics come into focus, there's sofuckingmuch to be said about this album being titled "dark matter."

I don't do that sort of thing, but I'm sure stip's on it.

Totally agree that the title of the album has much more meaning now that I know the lyrics.

This is really spectacular work. I was high on this thing almost immediately but Scared of Fear, Upper Hand and Setting Sun have climbed into 5 star song territory throughout the day, joining Wreckage, Wont Tell and Waiting For Stevie that were there from the first listen. For context i have two 5 star songs total out of the Avocado thru LB run.

Still too soon comfortably place this one ahead of Gigaton but its trending that way.

Thanks, that'd be great! That'll save me from Spotify as I wait for the CD delivery

I love this stupid band, and it's pretty great how much joy they still bring me after thirty years.

I'm also glad there's this little corner of the internet where I can share with others who love them just as much.

I am thinking it's not Dark Matter as we thing of in physics, but dark matter as when you say "it's a dark matter, but we need to talk about blank. I think this is rock opera.

Was just sayin', this is what it must feel like to be in a long relationship and just when you were kind of tired and on autopilot a little your lover blows your mind with how beautiful they are
