Curious how long the buzz will last. Will we talk about this as much as Gigaton? Less? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
I can't wait for all of the new accounts when we get word that this thing has leaked a week early. Remember everyone, PM VinylGuy for the leak!VinylGuy wrote:I will talk the shit out of this album
And we are already doing it so, yes...RM will be a busy place

Least favorite doesn't mean I don't enjoy it I do. Listening yesterday I realized something about it. That is its not really a rock record. I started to hear much more as a pop record. The middle stretch Sirens,Lb and Infallible are just pure pop to my ears as is the final 4. Pendulum My Father's Son and Mym offer some sort of a line back to 94, but it isn't direct that's for sure.
Dark Matter by all accounts isn't coming across as a pop record at all. Which I think bodes well . There will always be pop moments. Ed and Stone are both obviously influenced greatly by pop. My sense is this will be a bit of a mix of S/T and Riot Act in scope.
I've really enjoyed the first two songs and looking forward to chatting more about the rest.liebzz wrote:Curious how long the buzz will last. Will we talk about this as much as Gigaton? Less? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Some listening party reviewers mentioned that a couple of new songs reminded them of old 90s PJ so…Coach wrote:I've really enjoyed the first two songs and looking forward to chatting more about the rest.liebzz wrote:Curious how long the buzz will last.

I had to take a break though because all the talk became overly negative, which I understand and respect as part of this place and the process.
Still, needed to just sit with these tunes on my own for a bit.
In terms of revisiting old music, I listened to I got Id / Long Road the other day....my goodness that is just perfect.
yeah, i think they kept the concert cronology for a while but thats itOversize wrote:I'm trying to recall...
I think RM is where I got Riot Act several months early (fall 2003?)... and the 5 or 6 song Avacado rough cut seemed well in advance of the album as well.
5H was pretty much gone by 2003,right?
I wish I'd done this much earlier than I didCoach wrote:I've really enjoyed the first two songs and looking forward to chatting more about the rest.liebzz wrote:Curious how long the buzz will last. Will we talk about this as much as Gigaton? Less? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

All signs point to this being more divisive than Gigaton so it will generate a ton of debateliebzz wrote:Curious how long the buzz will last. Will we talk about this as much as Gigaton? Less? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Gigaton poll has 81% 4+ stars. Tall order to reach that level of consensus again.Jorge wrote:All signs point to this being more divisive than Gigaton so it will generate a ton of debateliebzz wrote:Curious how long the buzz will last.
