Just finished first listen with headphones and My God. So much better than the crappy muffled theatre sound from last night. Goosebumps all over. New Pearl Jam hasn't made me feel like this in a long time.

Yeah that's how I still feel a few hours later

So Alby the dog absolutely gives the album 5 stars. But he thinks they made a mistake with the name and it should have been either "Park Matters" as it's his favourite place, or at the least "Bark Matter".

Nice way to start my Thursday, gotta say.

Good dog.

Racist dragon, tho

Get your hand off my tail, you'll make it dirty.

Will wait for full version tomorrow. Nice to have wreckage today. Appreciate the live discussion and excitement.

Will the vinyl sound less brickwalled? any indication?

Oh wait, this actually leaked now? I guess I might as well join the group asking for a link and get an extra 24 hours of listening in.

I've listened to the iphone leak ten times and the new proper leak three times, over various parts of the week from sitting, running, driving... every time I finish I put it away for about a half hour, find myself thinking about it, then playing it again - particularly Won't Tell onwards. Backspacer, Lightning Bolt and Gigaton were not like that for me.

It's a really good record.

McCready in that interview DarthVedder graciously posted last page: Dark Matter solo was first take. Fucking studmuffin

I know! Pretty sick. He said “Upper Hand” was the only solo that he wrote with a particular beginning-middle-end. I kinda wish he’d done that on WFS but that is a minor quibble.

Alright I’m ready for a link to a certain leaked record if someone would be so kind.

And if not…

“You will send me a PM” :wave:

(see what I did there?)

Pretty sure this leak is fucky. Compare the first 10 seconds of DM or Wreckage from the leak and the first 10 from the same songs on streaming and the leak is clearly redlining a lot. Is it from a stream capture?

Yeah we raised this question earlier. Interested to see what comes out on Friday

I’m impatient…. I’m buying Dark Matter but want to listen to it now lol. It’s so difficult to find leaks these days ugh…

Bro, look at your PMs!!

Thank you and for everyone PMing me. Listening to it now! Listened to the cellphone recording previously (thank you for that!). Scared of Fear is really blowing me away!

Setting Sun and Waiting for Stevie are all-timers for me. There are a number of other songs on here that are 5 stars for me, but these two just feed my soul some serious comfort food.

Thought I could make it to Friday but can’t take it anymore…. I’ve bought Dark Matter cd and vinyl but need to listen now after reading the great discussions on this board…would appreciate some help with a DM to listen. Much appreciated!

Yeah those are the ones that are really staying with me. Certainly the most emotional/visceral reaction from them.

Yeah, Setting Sun is a great close

At this stage - I'm willing to fight anyone who talks bad about Setting Sun.

On a maybe related note - about to play this for my wife - see what she thinks

Update - the wife said that she REALLY likes Setting sun. No fisty-cuffs in the Rangi household tonight

Hot take: Scared of Fear and Dark Matter have the best solos on the album. They ride with the melody of the song better than the shreddy ones.

Just ignore daft's post a few above (although it was said with love!).

Of course. Love Bret, Jemaine, Murray, and the lot of ya.

Dark Matter works so much better on the album versus a standalone song.
