Dark Matter: Official Album Thread

[stip]

joostone held up his end

[Release_Me]

I really can't fault anyone for not being detailed or coherent enough in their first impressions after one listen. I can't imagine myself doing any better. I need multiple listens to really absorb each song and hear all its nuances.

That's why just recording the whole thing and sharing the goodness with us is the way forward, so we can each make up our own minds.

[Val]

I anticipate some great reads in this thread very, very soon

I just decided I might go to a listening party today. Only thing is the record store is 90 min from the house.

The ones closer to me aren’t participating.

[VinylGuy]

Damn this means i should get a ticket for the movie thing?

[Vindicator]

Ok just called the record shop that's 15 minutes from me, they said the listening party is at 2pm, so in about 2 hours. Maybe I'll go to this damn thing, I'll try to snag a copy of the album if I can, but don't think I have a way of ripping it. At the very least I'll try to take notes and give some real impressions

[Kevin Davis]

I’m reminded of the time I downloaded a leak of the new arcade fire record and it was so different and full on rock and I loved it.
Then it turns out it wasn’t the new arcade fire record some other band put their album out pretending to be the new arcade fire record leak and apart from that being a stroke of genius I came on here and admitted that and that snob Kevin Davis went one of his interminable lengthy diatribes and called me ignorant and that’s exactly what’s wrong with leak culture

He didn’t like leak culture.


There’s a lesson in this.



Never did find out who that band were. It was a brilliant album

I’m really sorry for doing that to you, Dime. I don’t remember it but it sounds really shitty and I hope you’ll accept my apology. I’ve certainly downloaded leaks myself so I’m not sure what I was on about that day.

I thought I might just take a voice memo on my phone to record it, if possible. I doubt a record store would sell me a copy today.

I could maybe go an hour long voice memo, but should I be hiding it in my pocket, or am an asshole just openly recording it. And do you REALLY want that to be the first listen. I'd listen to a low quality leak but that's a bit much. The metal door was ok because it was just snippets

I’d listen to that, I don’t care.
I know that once the album drops the improved quality of sound will simply add to my enjoyment instead of taking anything away from it.
It’s a win-win situation.

Alright alright alright!
Today’s shaping up to be a pretty great fucking day

[VinylGuy]

ill wait for the proper leak or the album´s release. Dont wanna hear otherwise.

I prefer to go the theatre on tuesday.

[Val]

It’s a win-win
Situation
And I’m starting to believe
That this win-win
Situation
Is what I’m trying to achieve

[WaitingForBluey]

I am not planning on listening ... however, I am willing to provide a service for the real fiends

[Val]

Have I not been real.
Have I not been true.

That actual fact that we don’t know each other is completely irrelevant in this case, as anyone can plainly see.

[Jaeti]

I think what I really need from these listing parties is guidance on whether I should skip Something Special on my first proper listen and then add it back in the second time around.

[dimejinky99]

Dime, PM me, I have the link to Episode 10.

I’m in episode 10 and we haven’t started filming yet.

Nice try though.

My sarcasm detector is broken but I’ll take this on face value.

No harm no foul.


*the mystery album was better than the arcade fire album as it turns out. Think it was the suburbs

Wish I could find it again
