The cover is sick, too. nice job
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…

Re: Wreckage
Near the outro....before "hodling out, holding on..."
Ved sings "combing through the wreckage" and whoever is playing the lead line matches it perfectly....really the only time it happens. Fucking gorgeous.

Re: Wreckage
After passively hearing Wreckage in the car and in the background at home today my wife goes "Is that a new one?" " I like that one a lot." This song scratches the Daughter, Elderly Woman, Betterman itch for her I think. She's not a fan of the big solos and screeching guitars version of Pearl Jam. Ha.

Re: Wreckage
So I find this bass part odd in a good way. First off it starts and immediately he seams locked in to the main riff and the kick. Almost like he is punctuating the riff. Then the vocal melody starts and then he's punctuating the vocal melody. So my question is do we think Ed built the vocal melody around the bass or was the bass built around the vocal melody.DeeDee wrote:

Re: Wreckage
Any feel for how this has been received by radio?

Pretty good in all the usual radio formats so far, but the charts are always a week behind so this coming Monday will be more revealing.

Re: Wreckage
I'm curious if most stations are playing the full length song or the edited down version that chops off a minute or of the song. I'd imagine it's a mix.McParadigm wrote:Pretty good in all the usual radio formats so far, but the charts are always a week behind so this coming Monday will be more revealing.

And just under Dark Matter in terms of streaming on Spotify at the moment. I'm interested in seeing how long there will be Dark Matter songs in the top ten there.

Re: Wreckage
I've only heard the edited version on the radio. Surprised me how well it works-- I almost feel like that should have been the album version toosweeper wrote:I'm curious if most stations are playing the full length song or the edited down version that chops off a minute or of the song.

I listened to Wreckage this morning on an early sunrise walk. It was glorious.

Re: Wreckage
Nostalgia for when we thought it was “wrecker” and had been played during the chiefs dolphins playoff game.
That said, this track is just so impeccably good.

Re: Wreckage
This is a great song, full stop. I love it. But i'm just going to come out and say it. Right around 4:30 it should fade out. I'm sorry, this is just how I feel, and I'm right.
