Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[liebzz]

Listened this one today while coming home, damn this one is energetic. I stopped at Waiting because i arrived home, but this one is so fucking good really.

Matt brings it really.

Just finishing my first listen in quite a while, and picking it back up I am reminded again how much I enjoy this album. I legit enjoy every song on this a lot. I like it just as much as those first days.

I stopped listening as soon as this came along:

Totally yeah. And I ve been listening to zep a lot and I can totally see PJ doing a version of that muscular and tight music here. Very energetic and with a lot of groove.

[Simple Torture]

I listened to this all the way through for the first time today. None of the songs really stuck out for me but in general I liked the sound.

Other than Ten and Vitalogy I don't know that any Pearl Jam album had songs that suck out for me on just one listen

[stip]

that's most artists, to be fair

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Simple Torture]

I don't think it's so bizarro, nothing stuck out for me as great, and nothing stuck out for me as a stinker, but I think the record had a pretty consistent mood that made it a pretty enjoyable listen. This was my first time hearing like 75% of the songs, and I wasn't too amped for it, so I guess I was pleasantly surprised. I have no idea what the reception of this album was, I haven't been paying attention.

I love wreckage so much. What a song really. I love the ending specially and what the guitars are doing.

After all this time the dark horse for me is the title track. I liked it when it was released as a single and thought that it was elevated in the context of the album, but wow what a grower as well. And live it is a monster.

[stip]

its a legit 5 star song for me. the ferocity of the playing elevates a somewhat standard riff, and there is so much bewildered rage in everyone’s performance. intriguing lyrics, lots of cool moments to reward careful listens. its a great track

[VinylGuy]

Yeah for me too. I’m still in awe of everything Matt does.

[VinylGuy]

damn that was awesome

loved everything Stone did really

please release that a dvd from that show

Yeah, This has too much production value for just a web video. And Danny Clinch is around on this tour at times. So... Another good PJ movie on it's way?

But who knows, one of those Nugs released videos also had way too much production value. I believe it was Rome. The other Nugs released shows were screen feeds.

[VinylGuy]

I guess this tour will have a movie or something like that released yeah

[Kevin Davis]

Great performance, and nice to have a pro-shot video.

Toward the end (around 4:37) Stone has what appears to be a guitar pick in his mouth that briefly made me think he was wearing bright red lipstick. The little things you miss by only listening to the bootlegs...

[VinylGuy]

I also like his little solo in the middle, and what Matt is doing at the end of the song
