Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Arthur Morgan]

Do folks still need the liner notes? I don’t know if they’ve been posted yet. I received my bluray a day early (10C LP still hasn’t even shipped)

I don't think they've been posted yet, so feel free!

I took pics and saved them in this OneDrive folder:

Who’s the one and only PO?

Yeah, anyone know? Probation officer?

The Post office who appear won’t be delivering my vinyl on release day?

McCready interview havent seen before. If it’s not new I apologize

our manager, Mark Smith

I didn’t know they had a new manager.

Kelly Curtis, who has managed Pearl Jam since its 1990 formation, has retired. Curtis, 64, stepped away from his role in August but did not make any official announcement at the time, Variety can reveal. Longtime Pearl Jam tour manager Mark “Smitty” Smith has assumed managerial duties for the Seattle-based 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

Thanks. I knew Curtis had retired but for some reason thought they were going the self-managed route.

What's the go with the songwriting credits in the liner notes, are the songs credited jointly to all band members (plus Wotman) or is there some variance?

For those of you anxiously waiting on an answer, it's the former.

All songs jointly credited to Vedder, Ament, Gossard, McCready, Cameron and Watt, plus Klinghoffer on Something Special.

Oooooh. Interesting.

Oh fuck it begins

[WtOB?]

currently listening on spotify. the production is still pretty hot. good news is my blu ray pre order arrived at the door this morning at 8:30am (rare in these parts). thought i’d have to wait till next week to hear the evans mix.

So that leak from yesterday is a very hot recording, I played it through my stereo set up, on direct stereo setting on my amp, and when the leaked versions came on it was extremely loud, but when the official Apple Lossless hi res 24 bit came on the volume dropped drastically , and atoms is turned off so that is promising, my MacBook is wired into my stereo amp

It's like this for me:

The music and songs on this baby are the best case scenario, if not well beyond it. Literally the only thing I can complain about is the mixing, and while it sucks to have that complaint, if ONE THING had to go poorly, this is probably what I would choose. I can search out the best version, I can (and will) listen on vinyl which is hopefully at least slightly better, and I can make peace with lower volume. I've already noticed a difference on the latest leak (HD FLAC) which allows me to pump up the volume more in my phones.

Im surprised with how much i like the mixing, i can listen to everyone pretty clear, specially Jeff. but yeah, i dont like the compression at all, the volume is really loud and a few production choices ( some of the drums on a few songs, some other stuff too)

But im satisfied and it sounds better than Earthling

I think Watt always share songwriting credits on his albums. Thats somethings some producers do.

8 minutes from the UK debut and I am pretty sloshed on good red wine.

You can keep your icebergs
Have your bolts of lighting
Pet your turtles
Eat your guacamole
Pretend to Riot
Go ahead and go supernova
Slow down If it that what you want
I'm done trying to crack the code

Are those lyrics from one of the songs?

[Juvenal]

(Please forgive the 'deep' responses)
Wreckage is really lovely

I'm about to break out the Screwdrivers Jackie Brown-style, a little less than 5 hours to get "on the level"

Yeah, I made a playlist on Spotify with the leak and replaced the three singles with Spotify's versions. It's a massive difference in volume.

I'm in the UK waiting for Amazon Music to fucking play it

I don't even get to meet Stevie
