Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Homeboyd]

Really happy this leaked today because I was just informed we’re hosting a Taylor Swift listening party on Friday with ten 3rd grade girls…I’ll do a pocket iPhone recording if anyone is interested…

edit: ugh, what a terrible top of the page post, this thing deserved to buried and forgotten.

[Strat]

Setting sun - best ed has sounded in 20 years

[liebzz]

Cream of the crop:
Setting Sun
Waiting for Stevie
Upper Hand

Potential cream:
Won’t Tell
Got to Give
Wreckage
Scared of Fear
React, Respond

I like both of these:
Dark Matter
Running

Nice enough song:
Something Special

I haven’t heard the good leak, but the baby mix:

5 stars: Scared of Fear, React Respond, Wreckage, Upper Hand, Waiting For Stevie, Got to Give, Setting Sun

4 stars: Dark Matter, Won’t Tell

3 stars: Running, Something Special

[stip]

Beginning on setting sun sounds like maybe a Tom waits song before the guitars come in

I can hear that

[stip]

Okay, I just started a post in the Waiting for Stevie thread trying to puzzle out the lyrics.

Appreciate additional ears

[stip]

There are a few great lyrics in there, but I was really moved by this bit

Finds herself in the song
Hears her own voice rising

[Strat]

I'm truly shocked.

Wrapped up my first listen.

[Buck Swope]

I was going to wait until Friday to listen to the album, but reading through some of the comments in this thread has convinced me to start my deep dive into this project right now…

Can someone bless me with the link, please?

Thank you in advance!

[Farmer John]

If I could give that interlude after WfS more than 5 stars, I would

[Leatherhead]

Is there a decent quality leak?

I got you.

Can you get me too?

[stip]

If I could give that interlude after WfS more than 5 stars, I would

no shit, right?!

[BetterVedder]

Could someone please hook me up???
Thanks very much in advance!

[jgardz]

I’d love a link of the quality link so I can give this a spin if anyone is so inclined

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[stip]

Okay, I must get some work done

[Mkterp]

Longtime lurker here, and I promise to start participating. I’d love a link if someone doesn’t mind. I was at the listening party last night and the sound was awful - desperate to hear it again ASAP! many thanks.

[Chet Ripley]

The guitar at the beginning of Something Special is tasty. Is that Ed or Stone?

[WaitingForBluey]

All late arrivers, feel free to PM me

[WtOB?]
