Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[dimejinky99]

As much as it doesn’t matter either way, I will be disappointed if there isn’t another single from this album.

what song would you pick as a next single?

i'd pick waiting for stevie (if it hasnt already been a single)

Personally, I’d release Stevie and then Won’t Tell. And then maybe another one, to be honest.

There isn’t really a good reason (that I am aware of) not to release a ton of singles at this point. Use it to keep the record in people’s minds.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, Wont Tell and Stevie should be released as singles. Something Special could work too, specially if they put it out on some netflix series or something.

But they should also play live in SNL or Fallon.

Like PJ gave a fuck about this stuff anyway.

[stip]

I think they care but not enough to put in the work. I get it

[Hypnos]

They didnt even release a video!

[VinylGuy]

yeah, they barely tried to promote it really.

I wish singles still came with non-album B-sides

I'm not really sure what the protocol is with singles these days other than it seems like most bands release all of their singles *before* the album comes out. That's a lot different than the pre-streaming days where several singles would be released after the album launch.

With that said, I did notice that the Foo Fighters had a single ("The Glass") come out about 6 months after the album date this past year. Fallout Boy did something similar. So, I'm not sure what PJ will do but I definitely agree with you.

Does Stone still take lead on album tracks? Briefly on Got to Give, right? What else from DM or Gigaton?

Have they decided that Mike is going to play the “solos?”

[Aunt_Claire_Foy]

Well, this is the first record they've released in a long time that works with a good morning run. Still skipping Something Special though. Ugh.

i think he plays the middle solo for Quick Escape

[Kalevi]

I agree w releasing WFS, which I don't particularly like, followed by won't tell or got to give - after wreckage peters out

he plays the leads in wreckage, though they aren't really "solos"

[stip]

wreckage hit number 1 on mainstream rock. 5th career no. 1 and first time 2 no. 1s from same album

bring on waiting for stevie!

[VinylGuy]

Or make a video or release a live video of Wreckage’

[BootsToAsses]

Watching Stone play that little noodling riff during the verses live was one of the highlights of the shows for me.
He was great on all of the new songs.

[Kevin Davis]

Sorry if it's somewhere in this thread and I just missed it, but did anyone do a lossless rip of the Howard Stern performances? If so, can I ask for a share?

[ridleybradout]

I think the best quality versions of the Stern tracks were the ones posted on YouTube - Brett Eliason said in a recent SOLAT podcast that he mixed these versions

I’ll rip/edit and upload them later in the week

[VinylGuy]

I need to check out that episode with Brett
