Seems like we have a good number of rock songs that aren't spritzy?

https://www.spin.com/2024/02/pearl-jam-dark-matter/


Watt encouraged Pearl Jam to write and shape the material with all five members in the same room, and that spontaneous approach is immediately evident on Dark Matter. The album opens with the driving, major-key rocker “Scared of Fear,” with Vedder reminiscing to a subject only he knows, “We used to laugh, we used to sing, we used to crash, we used to believe.” And while arena-ready songs such as “React, Respond” and “Running” find Pearl Jam at their heaviest on an album in some time and “Waiting for Stevie” has an almost Singles-era classic Pearl Jam feel, Dark Matter also dials down the bombast with nods to the chiming, acoustic-flavored sound of the late Tom Petty on “Wreckage” and “Got To Give.” There’s even a song about parenting, “Something Special,” which Vedder said at the Troubadour was co-written with touring member Josh Klinghoffer.

"Scared of Fear" is supposed to be about Dave Matthews

Is this theory based on the fact that he says the word "crash" in the lyrics? It could be about Cher, too.

Because of the word "believe" in case that wasn't clear.

"'Waiting for Stevie' has an almost Singles-era classic Pearl Jam feel" — Piecing this together with the door leak, I think Clip #6 is this song (possibly Clip #5, too, as they sound like they could be from the same track).

I'm gonna consider Dark Matter to be Gigaton Disc 2. I was convinced we were gonna get a Gigaton Disc 2 when there was all that talk about the half heart on the spine.

one disc is marked "immersive mix," so take that for what it's worth.

It's the 4D ATMOS IMAX super duper XXL interactive whatever mix. They say what it is in one of the emails or on the site. Can't remember where now. But yeah it's that.
