Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[guitar_davey]

I honestly can't believe they pulled this off...and I liked Gigaton a lot. But this hits different.

Same.

Great piano at the end of Got to give, really cool and give more WHO vibes.

Kinda loving what Stone is doing there too

[Leatherhead]

My only complaint is that the album's too short. 2 more songs please.

Well Mike said there may be an EP comin…..

Did he really? That's really funny if he did, again.

[smallest_oceans]

So good. Squeezed in another listen at work with the closed sennheisers. So much detail and every song is growing on me.

Tonight will be the open backs and probably a glass of something.

so fun to share with you. What a triumph.

I feel like a sports fan who has waited decades for his favourite team to win a championship.

[WaitingForBluey]

Ah the start of Got To Give sounds beautiful !! And then boom it’s The Who! Jeff is doing so many great stuff here. Love it!!

That intro is gorgeous
The drum entry is oddly rock jock
Once guitars enter it's like "well hello, PJ'S babo o'riley... I'm on board with this" :bammer emoji

Stone was downright giddy to get back in the studio...so I figure 2028 lol.

Mike didn't read The Boy Who Cried Wolf when he was growing up.

Yes

[Fattie_Vedder]

I held out from ranking the album until I could hear it several more times and process it again. This was my first listen after release on Spotify. I had no idea it would sound THAT much better.

Yeah easy 5 stars for this one.

If you're only listen 2 or 3, you're in for a real treat... this thing grows with an exponential curve

[VinylGuy]

Ah the guitars on that buildup for Setting Sun are so fucking awesome

[oneway23]

I can empathize with Trag on certain points here, but, to me, the songs and the overall enjoyment factor are so strong that I'm willing to set aside any qualms I might have with the production.
Being completely honest, I'd be zeroing in on the various quibbles I have, in much more of a critical voice, were the songs not as strong as they are.

Early days, but, this record is already bordering on undeniable.

Sadly I think you’re right

[VinylGuy]

Just finished my third listen, first one on Spotify and I just love this one. Also I love the production, guitar tones, the band sounds tight and focused; Ed is awesome.

This is wonderful

Yes, moved from 4 to 5 too

[Arthur Morgan]

Goodnight RM! Fun sharing this with you all

[Homeboyd]

I just restarted and was kinda zoning out then Wreckage came on and sounded amazing. I mean this is just a great album. I've heard it recorded through pants, with baby backing vocals, tuned to within an inch of it's life, and now in it's final form. If anything I keep liking it more which is kinda insane because I really liked it on first listen. And these songs are made to be played live so it should be a fun tour to follow...good times ahead.

[Hypnos]

This is mixed different, right?
