Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

How hasn’t it leaked yet

Riot Act: 4.9

What a troll job...Good riddance, Pitchfork

Someday I bet Pitchfork re-reviews this and gives it an 8.8/10. Probably sometime after Eddie dies.

Nothing helps increase the perception of an artist's work quite like them dying. Dying young reaps the biggest increase at the cost of, well, dying young.

“Dark Matter, the 12th album from the formerly interesting Pearl Jam, traffics less in the spritz-punk that anchored their more recent output, opting instead for the most cringe-worthy retreads of their anthemic early years on the most tiresome album of the so-called PRAMG era.”

this is a good sentence on its merits, but it's so long the impact of spritz, PRAMG, and cringe-worthy is diminished. By the time I get to PRAMG era I've forgotten about the spritz-punk

What does PRAMG stand for? Something Post Riot Act maybe? Post Riot Act Meat Grinder?

Ah the irony of Ed singing “counts his money every morning. The only thing that keeps him horny.”

"While not exactly a complete apology for Gigaton, the comments the band have made thus far have an implicit undertone: If you didn’t like reflective aging Pearl Jam, don’t worry, we turned the guitars back up." Oh geez, don't say it ain't so. My worst nightmare.

Sounds like a potential Avocado situation. On the other hand, this also feels like speculation, considering that we've heard/read the comments by the band and I don't feel they are in any way antagonistic toward what they did on Gigaton.

I'm sorry to report I have it on good authority Rm won't care for this album.
My sources tell me that Matt is still Drummer. Ed is still singing. Stone gives zero shits. Mike gives lots of shit. Jeff is the shit. It is a anthemic album much like Backspacer. Stip and myself will love it. Harmless will defend Strat will be uncomfortable with it. Everyone else who regularly post here will hate it.

[Ms Harmless]

ultimately it will all contribute to making the RM fringe / splinter group of the Jamily stronger as a community, so there is nothing left but to welcome it

nothing left
nothing left
nothing left

[Ms Harmless]

surrender to the dark matter
