Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Farmer John]

what are the chances of this leaking more than a month out?

Very small.

Why the fuck did they sit on this thing for two goddamn years? Makes zero sense.

Probably took at least a year to make that album cover with such a slow shutter speed

[Ms Harmless]

everyone should take glow sticks to the concerts

Really don’t wanna sit that close to other PJ fans

Just close your eyes and let the riffage wash over you

Take my money (and a hit or two beforehand)

The experience and emotions tied to listening to Dark Matter are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's an album of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet 48 minutes.

amazing!

Because they didn't. Yes, they did the bulk of the recordings then but it wasn't complete. Perhaps the recordings were done for about 90%. Pretty sure they worked on it last summer, probably for the last dubs etc. I can tell from experience that the last 10% from recording an album takes about 90% of the time. And we are still only talking about writing and recording. Mixing, mastering, artwork, pressing vinyl, distribution, promotion..... All comes later..

I hope they have a lil film of visualisers to stream like they did with Gigaton; I'm not wholly convinced of the art direction for this album, but if it ends up being a fully realised concept like Gigaton was, I could be swayed

[Ms Harmless]

[Anders]

Goddammit Anders I already posted that

Sorry

[DDWJMUVW]

Hey, ya got a light?

[DDWJMUVW]

So you hear DM once in the dark and then another time around with visualizers. Thats incredibly lame. That will cost ya $25?

I’m a hard no. And not for the trivial price of $25, but just on principle. I was hoping this would be a doc about the record.

Pearl Jam gonna Pearl Jam.
