I’m thinking they wanted to go with a heavier track like Dark Matter. I know we haven’t heard Wreckage yet but it was a good choice to release Dark Matter anyway. Dark Matter has achieved great success.scrub12 wrote:Wreckage was the rumored first single. Wonder what the hell happened.

Wreckage will probably still be a single.

Re: Dark Matter: Official Album Thread
What's the chance that there are 2 or 3 consensus PJ classics on this album? It's not zero.

For Gigaton, what was a "consensus classic"? Obviously DOTC, but was WES? QE? 7:oo?guitar_davey wrote:What's the chance that there are 2 or 3 consensus PJ classics on this album? It's not zero.
I have a feeling we will get 3-4 that match the RM popularity of that group on this one. If it spawns even one song that is as loved as DOTC, then that would be awesome. For what it's worth, I think it will.

DoTC at the top for sure. Seven Oclock, WES, Comes then Goes, and QE are close but not at

I'm not sure DoTC has anywhere near universal appreciation among the fanbase (beyond RM). I personally like each song listed more than DoTC which is a song I appreciate more than I actually enjoy.stip wrote:DoTC at the top for sure. Seven Oclock, WES, Comes then Goes, and QE are close but not at

No song on Gigaton is above a 4 star for me. DOTC, Take The Long Way and WES being my favorites

Conspiracy theory: they are test balloons! The sappy song was going to be the single until you all bashed it and they went with Wreckage instead. This conspiracy theory vanishes if they do not release Wreckage as the next single.Jaeti wrote:I simultaneously can and cannot believe they didn't drop a new clip today.
