Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Buby]

Anyone listening to the guys talk about the composition of the songs on their Sirius channel? Here is what I've heard while in the car this morning...not much car time ... please fill in:

Scared of Fear - ?
React/Respond - ?
Wreckage - ?
Dark Matter - ?
Wont Tell - ?
Upper Hand - ?
Waiting for Stevie - Ed riff from back in the day (being generous here)
Running - Jeff riff
Something Special - ?
Got to Give - Ed riff
Setting Sun - Jeff composed the first part/Andrew riff in the second part (ffs)

Is the interview recorded somewhere?

I was about to ask the same, if anybody is ripping this I'd love to listen.

It's just all day pj's sirius radio channel. The channel is playing the new songs the whole day and the guys are introducing them (pre-recorded snippets, not live interviews) and talking about how they were composed, mainly who wrote the main parts of each song. I'm not in the car much today so haven't been able to listen much.

It’s very superficial and short. Not missing much really

[dad]

this might be the first album since Yield where I really loved the opening and closing tracks.

[BoltofLightning]

In the SiriusXM lead in to RR, Stone describes his guitar part as “incessant banging”!

dunno if anyone posted this, but here's Ed talking to KROQ (pronounced "Crock") about the album, posted to youtube 21 hours ago

"ocean waves" mentioned at 19:03

Has anyone received their pre-ordered vinyl from Ten Club yet?

I'm waiting for that to listen to the whole thing, none of my other options compare to the turntable system in the living room.

Can't Keep & All or None, dad?

[WaitingForBluey]

Guys, I really can't iterate how much I love this album, and how baffled I am, shocked, awed. Raz was really into it too, perhaps more than me even, and she didn't like Gigaton at all. I feel giddy about it, like the teenage fan in me has been reawakened, and I feel weirdly validated, having stuck around this stupid PJ message board all these years, and going through all the comments and news about the band, even when I disliked their output. How many of us can honestly say we stuck with a Pearl Jam message board all these years, through all the thick and thin? Doesn't it feel so good? And it is nice seeing so many of you enjoy it as well. I just... don't know what else to say or how to put it right now. I don't feel like me anymore.

This right here... Love this post

what a head-fake to start

thought we were getting the gigaton intro into something hard

then they pull the change up and it's a spritzer out the gate

first song also has a Glam Bridge

second song also sucked and had to turn it off ten seconds after starting

don't think i can stomach any more of this POS today

production also sounded terrible

had to put on Blood Sugar Sex Magik right after to purge my brain of this filth and replenish anew

so far I have heard 3 (whole) songs from the album, all of which had a 'Glam Bridge': Dark Matter, Running, and whatever the first song name is

if Backspacer was the birth of the 'Spritzy Punker', Dark Matter is the bith of the 'Glam Bridge'

This is Ed's Bridge energy now:

Can't Keep - Good
All or None - Love

well, you should've kept listening to React, Respond then. it uses a very similar bassline as Give It Away.

[Coach]

Don't shoot the messenger, but Ten Club just asked all fans to kindly return the records, streaming music, mp3s, FLACs, tapes, CDs, etc. Album isn't coming out anymore.
Sorry.

I'm enjoying this more, but I will never get to "best since Yield."

Lets just hope it doesn't evolve into Victor Kiriakis come tour time.

[Obbster]

Still love this album after 17 listens.
