Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[Monkey_Driven]

Wreckage is out on the visualizer

lets go

More Springsteen adoration.

Meh

I hear Tom Petty more than Springsteen in that clip, but they're on the same continuum.

I don't hear much Springsteen, but A LOT of Petty (in a good way).

[E.H. Ruddock]

We have a thread for Wreckage now. Kthnx.

[Ms Harmless]

And he sounds pretty good

He does. So excited for this one. Some nice jangly guitars in there. Perhaps one of his 12 string rickenbachers. Only listened twice though ...

does sound like a 12 string to me

For sure the Petty influences are strong on this one, but at least in this clip i think its in a more interesting way than it was on Long Way.

Yeah, if recent Ed vocal habits annoy you, I can hear them on this clip rather than Something Special. I like the music even though I can't really form an opinion on the song yet. It's a bit busier than I had anticipated.

[oneway23]

Really hear Mike Mills in the background vocal...very nice!

Also, stip, does your job not realize they need to form fit your work schedule around Pearl Jam album release month?

[WaitingForBluey]

I like that gtr lead line that Mike is doing

[DDWJMUVW]

I think it makes sense to release the rest of the song threads, since we know we're getting official clips now

Seems to be exactly as I predicted it (not gloating just saying that it makes a lot of logistical sense). They waited until they could do about 1 clip per day - countdown - until the 19th.

Do not doubt stip, he has a plan!

i get the feeling more and more that this album is much more a product of the producer than the band.. this just doesn't quite sound like pearl jam, but rather someone's idea of what pearl jam could be

At the end of the wreckage clip the melody master Ed arrives. The guitar work sounds good

[Tj]

that high part of the melody that ends in "I can't beg you to stay" is really lovely

I just saw this Harms. I know we are gonna love this crap it sound so good.

Wreckage sounds great! Love those jangly guitars.

I'm hearing a bit of Tracy Chapman - Fast Car in there

[wilkins]

Finally found my login info...

So in traditional PJ fashion they purposely do not release the best/accessible (? pop) song as a single.

Wreckage sounds great! And I use 'sounds' not in terms of production, as that's a whole other kettle of fish.

Let me Sleep, it’s Wotman time.

No. It's fucking ridiculous

finally, someone else who hears it too!

[Tj]

Oh for fucks sake I just heard harmony. Oh my god!! I didn't know 30 secs could do this. These word are so powerful right now in my life. I mean I just pretended to myself I wasn't teary-eyed

[Strat]

Wreckage sounds awesome so im gonna order another variant of this record.
