My favorite part of the song comes right after the first chorus.
That reverb effect is *French kiss*
do you mean "chef's kiss"? or are you exchanging bodily fluids with the reverb?

It sits nicely on a playlist between DOTC and QE.

Please someone else pay the couple bucks for the Qobuz hi res version and tell me what you think. To me it sounds quite a bit better.

Gonna take my motorized wheelchair to the dealership and ask for Atmos. Placing speakers around the headrest, running straight off of the two 12V batteries

Wait, I missed something. Is there actually going to be a Josh Evans mix?
Josh Evans & Nick Rives mixed the Dolby Atmos version contained on the deluxe edition
If you don’t have an Atmos system, do you think it sound much different?
Atmos mixes all have a bed layer that will be a 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby TrueHD(lossless) or Dolby Digital+(lossy), but, I'm not sure how that would carry through if your receiver is in stereo. Someone more knowledgable might have more info.

If you're listening in stereo, my recommendation is to subscribe to Apple Music for a month and listen there. It'll be a binaural approximation of the full experience, but, you'll at least receive any potential benefits of the new mix.
Thanks!
Since asking about this, I’ve already received 3 emails pushing Atmos equipment.

It does. Sounds a little like listening through a metal door. The band does get pushed back in a pleasing way but there is an unpleasant echo and phasing.

Is there a chance that the Atmos mix is what people have been listening to for the past few weeks?

I just listened to all of Ten, all of Vs., and Dark Matter right in a row. Dark Matter holds up. Juxtaposed with fresh listens of those two albums, Ed sounds totally good on the new song. Whatever studio trickery is involved there, whatever, give me more.

The thing that most leaps out as "late-era Pearl Jam" is the bridge. It's not a great one, and it feels tonally different from the rest of the song in a way that was very apparent coming on the heels of hearing those first two records.

And for the record, I've been at 3-stars for Dark Matter since it came out. I'm not saying it "belongs on Vs.," just that it's a fine song even if you've just listened to Vs.

It's the same file as the PJ shop (if you choose WAV and not MP3) 24 bit PCM 48000 hz.

*Edit: Except in the PJ shop you get the single and the instrumental.
