Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[epilogue]

I'm hating the sound of the single the more I hear it. I predict I'll play the hell out of this album for the first two weeks it's out, then for the week leading up to whichever show I attend.

After that, it's back to Vs - S/T.

S/T's production doesn't bother you? That and Lightning Bolt are bottom of the barrel for me in terms of how they sound

To be fair, some of that may be more performance choices on S/T. But one of the reactions I had to the first few listens of Dark Matter was that this is the energy severed hand was trying to get to

Tender mercies is better than any song on earthlings and this one.


Fight you to the death on this

It's a lovely little song. But I'd take Invincible, The Dark and Try over it for sure.

Try is a great song

[stip]

I really love Picture too. It's a fun song, and then it has that killer piano outro

I think now we have an indication that the metal door clips are sequentially aligned w the track list.

We get wreckage into DM and they’re in that order we now know.

The first clip is almost certainly SOF or R,R.

Maybe the Pink Floyd acoustic clip is won’t tell? This is clip 4.

Clips 5 and 6 are some combo of Upper Hand and Waiting for Stevie.

Running is not on the metal door sessions.

I’ve always thought the country tempo snippet (#7) was something special and I still do. The melody would fit perfectly with a song about parenting.

I think the last clip has got to be Got to Give or Setting Sun. It’s always seemed like a penultimate or closer just based on feel and where you’d put such a track.

Let’s see how close I am come April 19 (or before).

Earthlings is my favorite thing Ed has been a part of in 20 years.

Me too. I LOVE that song. And I'm glad to know I'm not alone.

Hated it when earthling came out. Really grew on me.

Life is a canyon, live it deep and wide, I will try try baby I will tryyyyyyyyyyy

I'm spinning Earthling right tf now

Chad Smith could so easily have just played "Invincible" as straight up 4/4 but he had to put those breakbeat-y back beats in it

it's so good

[96583UP]

i would like these guys to do a warm-up show in a small club

where they do the whole new album

and they perform well / tight and it is recorded in high quality

and it's early enough in the tour they aren't taking short-cuts yet on the interesting nuances or hard parts of the new songs

and the sound quality is high and makes the album production irrelevant

because the live boot has quality real-sounding instruments audio

and i want trag to be there

[96583UP]

fr if Wottman really brought the best of these guys out like a coach playing them to their strengths i would suck his d

[96583UP]

i mean like you know where the album is actually really really good

[96583UP]

and it's like not one we just move on from 3 months after release

[96583UP]

i would suck it

[96583UP]

if there were like bonafide good new tracks that are PJ canon and we were proud to play it in front of people without fear

[96583UP]

i'd work the shaft and cup the balls

[96583UP]

you know like we get some real big hitter / all-timers

[96583UP]

would just want to thank him the only way i know how
