So in the end, this is the most Pop sounding record they have ever done but they are still the same old PJ at heart.

The consistency of opinion on this is quite startling. RM is usually all over the map with polar opposite takes but this ain't one of them.

i love DM and it totally makes sense as a single, hell it was a hit for them. Running not so much.

Wreckage is a great third single, they should have released a video for it.

For what it's worth, at the London Dark Matter Experience thing last week, Running was not listed as an official single for Dark Matter on the discography display - just Dark Matter and Wreckage.

100 percent. Same with Corduroy - I'm all set with that long breakdown section - hopefully they're done with that. Maybe they already are - I haven't seen them since 2018.

How does this band NOT have 10 more years and a few good records left? Doesn't seem like they are anywhere close to feeling like closing up shop.

I'm sure a bit of that assessment is just wishful thinking on my part, but not all of it is, and that gives me hope!
