Apart from spending Jeremy in the toilet (though everyone sang it lol) it was fantastic! We got rearviewmirror and Animal, and a bunch of other Vs./Vitalogy/No Code stuff, and that's what makes me happiest. And the band was in a surprisingly great mood (I think end of the tour is generally a good time but I thought they'd have been pissed about Trump...I mean I'm sure they are but it didn't shine through). And in Sydney (last show of the tour I believe) they said they'd like to come back to Australia in a couple of years! I'm skeptical, but it sounds nice...

don't be like me and sleep on their newer stuff, it's definitely not everyone's taste (and that's understandable), but at least give it a shot, i used to only listen to their first three albums, but i've found that there's a lot to be had from their stuff afterwards, even going into lightning bolt and gigaton.

I've been a fan for 30 years and remember feeling a bit underwhelmed in the 00s with their output (today both binaural and riot act are my two last favorite releases of theirs), but over time I've really come to like all their albums for what they are. I think they hit a stride starting with Backspacer and everything since has been terrific. If anything their discography shows how diverse the band is :)

PJ is when you go to rehab after too much AIC. Yes, you can still enjoy cigarrettes, drink coffee and mild beer some days but thats about it. Your brains are mushed and desires to get back to the old dirty mattress to do hard drugs and living in vain while trying to remember why did you quit.

God, I listened to them every single day in high school, then in the past 5 years I barely searched their name

вот вот эти челы настругали 12 альбомов, а их хоть кто-то слушал все? меня честно хватило на 3 только. я лично готов из хлеба медаль слепить и подарить человеку, который все 12 сможет выслушать и при этом потом сможет определить какие песни из какого хоть периода. но вообще если без гундежа - синглы с первого альбома ОЧЕНЬ хороши. особенно блэк, которую я услышал еще в средней школе, когда был влюблен безответно в девочку с каре. поэтому строчка про звезду в чьем-то чужом небе до сих пор до слез сука(99(99(((9(((( он еще в анплагде стонать и выть начинает как ебанутый, так что тоже жизненно и респект короче ему, не помню как вокалиста зовут, уэддл уиддл, в любом случае хорош мужик.

Despite the plastic sound of the new album, there was hope in the first four tracks that now that same “return” would happen. But this, unfortunately, did not happen. P.S. ...but I really liked the panning of the guitars in the first two tracks.

Anyone else feel like they released two of the weakest songs as singles? They're not bad, but for sure not two of my favorite songs off the album

Yeah, none of the songs are bad...the singles (wreckage i did like) didn't grab my attention like literally 6-7 songs off the album did to where I was like "now this is what im talking about" haha.

Looks like they returning to their old sound, Gigaton was much more experimental (to me) and i like that album too. But new album feels much more them. It's good to listen new stuff from these guys again.

New album is awesome. Actually feels emotional to listen to something that touches on the nostalgia of yesteryear.

Dark Matter supposedly promised to be Pearl Jam's best in nearly two decades based on some reviews I read. After listening to it, it seems to me to be one of their worst albums, if not the worst, as was I assumed when listening to the previous singles. Rock to please nostalgic fifty-somethings that feels like food reheated in the microwave. I mean, there are some good songs and it's nice that McCready has more ease in the recording, but nothing memorable that will encourage you to listen to the album over and over again. I'll give him more chances, btw. I prefer Gigaton right now even though it's a pretty mediocre album for me. P.S.: I'm a big fan of PJ and EV. They are one of these important bands in my life (beyond their first albums), but I think that in the studio they no longer have anything to say.

Stuff like this happens every time a legacy band releases an album heralded as "back to basics". Reviews and some fans call it the best work since something, and fan discussion ranks it highly. It's recency bias, and soon reality sets in. Take a look at how Metallica's 72 Seasons hit compared to consensus on it a year later.

This is perhaps because 72 Seasons was cringy garbage. Fans were just glad it wasn't St Anger. Dark Matter is nothing like that.

I felt nothing listening to Dark Matter. (At least Gigaton was interesting — I do like that album.) After my Dark Matter listen I put Yield on, and that really hit the spot. It’s the difference between artists inspired and moved to create versus artists just doing more of what they do (…with worse production). You never know, that fire could be lit again, but it seems to be a pretty low light (sorry) in 2024. I’m glad for those of you who are enjoying it though.

Good news! I’ve got Pearl Jam tickets for Manchester. Bad news! I’m now homeless.
