This could be similar to what Metallica did last year with their new album in movie theaters. Music videos and a short introduction by band members for every song.
It comes up on Regal Cinemas website if you search Dark Matter. Not able to buy tickets yet though. It would be nice to be able to stream this from home.

ill be the bubble burster here - if this is just the album played in Atmos to visualizers, that's pretty lame.
If, on the other hand, there is REAL content (interviews, behind the scenes, in depth discussions about making the album, etc) then I'm very interested.

Guess we will find out before too long.
I had a similar thought because I bought the 2 disc set with the blu-ray and it will have that included most likely. The thing that gives me pause is the runtime. So, there has to be more than just the songs.

I don’t get the blind devotion I guess. This is insanely lame. Why would I pay $25 (the going price of a movie ticket in my location) to hear the record sitting in a dark theater, and then once again immediately after with visualizers which will be available to me @ home 3 days later? If you have a movie about the record, then I’m all in. Otherwise, I don’t understand the venue…
Most of us will likely have the chance to hear this before the 16th anyway. But even if not, I’ll wake up on the 19th and find a space for my inaugural spin.

I think the audio quality in a movie theatre with Dolby Atmos will impressive to hear as opposed to listening at home.

That could be. I’m no slouch audio wise though. I’ve discovered that a lot of PJ fans are listening (in general) via some pretty rudimentary setups and with Apple Music, which does not allow you to tweak EQ settings. I tried Apple and the tracks sound god awful compared to my custom EQ in Spotify and tidal. With the right settings and at least Spatial Audio through air pod pros, you can get a very decent listening experience. Of course the ceiling goes way higher for the true audiophile ….

Oh for sure. I've used Tidal in the past and enjoyed it. I'm currently using the HD Amazon Music tier and I have some pretty swanky headphones that cost a fortune and to my uneducated years the music sounds grand.
I still get excited at the thought of the new album being blasted through a huge setup in a theater.

Enjoy it then! If it makes ya happy then it’s all good right? I think the first listen is such a coveted thing - we should all get to experience it however we like.
Also, I’m really hoping we get some good content on HOW the record came together w Watt etc.

I'm torn between wanting to hear it in the cinema with surround sound or going out on release day and listening with my headphones on my own.

I think it would be fun to experience the first listen in a theater full of other fans cheering and reacting… definitely keeping my eye on locations for a screening.
