Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Ms Harmless]

maybe the band binned the DM video because it included guitar amps and they felt that was dishonest

RIP Pearl Jam

maybe it's because it shows Watt playing the solo and Mike pouting in the corner

RIP Pearl Jam

they had a good Running

Something Special

Wow this thread really moved while I was asleep.

I won’t tell anyone how sad I am that it’s over

[Buby]

Did this thing leak yet?

Sadly no. But new Khruangbin, Old 97's, and The Black Keys are out (among plenty others), we have plenty of new ear candy to hold us over.

Listen to each record done by Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet several times over. The 19th will be here before you know it.

had the absolutely ridiculous idea that I might try not to listen to anything else today; I probably won't stick to that but it made me feel virtuous and patient

How could they ever please the Pearl Jam audience with an album at this point?

-Play a solo reminiscent to EvenFlow | can't they come up with anything original?
-Record songs that don't sound like Ten | Why can't they sound like Ten again?
-Play something modern sounding | Aren't they like 70?
-Play something that sounds like the 90s | if they do they are just a Nostalgia act
-Make Mike's guitar sound like Yield | if he does then Mike is a boring and unevolving lead guitarist

These two new songs work for me. I love playing them loud through Apple Music on the highest quality. I love the up-front bass from Jeff in Running. I love the bridge in Dark Matter, and I also love that these are probably not in the top five best songs on the album by all accounts.

I can be as critical as anyone about Pearl Jam--especially Ed--but right now I am excited for what this might be and if it is just Gigaton 2, then that will be OK because there is some good stuff on there. I am glad the schmaltzy Brendan O'Brien | Ed combo stuff is gone and Watt wants to rock.

They could also fart in a bucket, and a bunch of people would praise them.

80% of my listening these days is to KBRD 680 AM, and I invite you to do the same:

"Binned" made me chuckle, as it reminded me of a strange (to me, at least) "Bin it your way!" ad campaign when I was in Dublin years ago. It was all about getting people not to drop chewing gum on the ground.

Hopefully before that, wasn’t Gigaton 8 days early?

Depending on the sound though.

[Release_Me]

I remember it leaking on 19 or 20 March. Release date was 27 March.

Metal or plastic bucket?
