Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[injuddstree]

This record is going to hold up.

[stip]

this podcast (stone/jeff) is really good

[WaitingForBluey]

We need a thread for the interview links, like we have for the reviews

[Hypnos]

Uff, that would be great.

[Birds in Hell]

Jeff and Stone did the Broken Record podcast. It's out now.

Mirrorball in Atmos is coming, according to Jeff on the Broken Record podcast

This interview is fantastic.

Cool to hear Neil called up Jeff last year to talk about Mirrorball and how he’d love to play with the band again.

Which, I gotta imagine, at ohana fest - they will.

CANT WAIT

Have to say, it’s not a real NeilJam renaissance without Jack Irons on the drum stool.

Then again, Jack has popped up at Ohana before…

He has!

I get it, but also seeing Neil jam at vfc 04...... highlight of my life.

If I’m ever at Pearl Jam show and Neil Young walks onstage, I will not be complaining.

A what now ?

Just listened to the Broken Record interview. Jeff and Stone sound so at peace and happy with where things are and the new album. Really great to hear that.

They both sounded authentically excited for the present and future of the band.

Where can we find this?

Reacted and responded, sir.

From a few pages back

There are different ways to adapt. When the band de-tuned last year Ed sounded as good as ever, and you could hardly tell the song was tuned down half a step. This is how good he is. Metallica does this now, too - though they are embarassed and make up totally unbelievable excuses ('uhh, we just pick up the guitars, which are tuned by our technicians').

Also, JH before every show:



Although I agree with most everyone here - Ed has done well so far for this album cycle all things considered.

I'm enjoying the music.



And guys, I think others have mentioned this, and it is probably too obvious, but I hear reference to Chris all over this album.

Some interesting things from that interview

Jeff wrote about a minute of ambient intro for Scared of Fear, which Andrew edited down. Jeff took the outro chords of Setting Sun and transposed it to a different key and used it for the intro. No wonder they flow so well if you restart the album.

(Maybe we can get the full intro live one day, would make good walk on music)

Josh Klinghoffer, Ed and Andrew came up with the intro to Upper Hand. Josh especially wrote alot of it.

[Farmer John]

Also interesting to learn that Stone loves the movie Year One, and he and Mike can't stop watching it.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

Do they watch it together? That's too cute.
