headinspeakers wrote:Hi everyone. New to the boards as a poster, though I lurked everyday during the countdown to the release of Gigaton… decades long listener and great admirer of the band. I’m a Husband, father and working shmo. The wife and took a second mortgage to buy tickets to n2 at Fenway in September. Favorite pj album, right now, is binaural, though I find something to love on each release. really enjoyed the banter, humor, and great insight and analysis on these boards. Very much looking forward to new release. Anyways, hi.

I noticed your username. What is preferred speaker set up? Dolby Atmos? Quality bookshelf speakers? Bluetooth headphones? Your phone's speakers? Your answer is very important.

Ha. “Headinspeakers” is a reference to a lyric of the national’s tune “day that I die” … “years and years I used to put my head inside the speakers in the hallway when you’d get too high and talk forever”. Great song and band. I am no audiophile but I’m trying to be. I need a guide …. Please help me. Bottom line though, If I want to really listen and focus, I retreat to office where I have a pair of klipsch reference RP-600Ms with a subwoofer. Sounds great to me. Refuse to listen to music over phone speakers.

At this point I have to assume it doesn't exist because it makes zero sense not to have released it by now. Of course, they somehow thought that releasing 3 videos for DOTC was a good idea so who knows.

Seems like there was a lot more “activity” in the lead up to Gig.

maybe they saw trag’s feedback on the production and decided to re-record it?

"My involvement in [Dark Matter] was pretty minimal" sighs Goddard. "I just emailed over some riffs. I haven't been in the studio with the band since about 2010."
