    I listened to the song three times in a row hoping it would grow on me. It just sounds like noise. Maybe 60 year olds shouldn't make a punk a album. 
    Maybe 60 year olds shouldn't listen to it, is what you mean. Punk is a lot of noise. Ed felt weird playing the album for his friends, handing out shots to loosen them up. It'll be fun at the show.

    Yawn. Another 3 chord wanna be power punk song that sounds like your average teenager garage band wrote in their garage in 1 hour. 

    Can't understand the lyrics, but whatever.

    To each their own but so far its 0 for 2 with the first two singles off Dark Matter.

    I just don't get it.
    Yawn
    Lol. Again. To each their own. 

    Really hoping these first two singles aren't the best two (in their minds) on the album.. 😕 



    Stone said he thought Dark Matter is the best song they ever wrote, so he’s probably thinking it is one of the best on the record.
    That’s insane and makes me take his comments with a grain of salt.  But nice of him to deflect from his own genius on the first few records.

    I like the song Dark Matter.  I really do.

    Running, on the other hand, is in the running for running to the Mens room at the show.  Please spend the 3 minutes on slow Lukin.  
    The song has been out less than a day.
    It’s not going to get any better.

    I really like the song Dark Matter.  If 50% of the new album is that good I’m in.  

    But Running, I’m out. Sorry, not going to slurp everything they do just because they do it.
    I'm not sure what "slurp" means. Eat it up mindlessly? I'm not saying that. It's just awfully quick to decide that the song is irredeemable after twelve hours and a few listens. It's not a random song by a random artist. It's a band that you like enough to pay to belong to its fan club. You would they'd have earned a little more rope.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Wow, you devoted seven whole minutes to it.

    "It just sounds like noise." Okay, we'll tell Pearl Jam to get off your lawn...

    I don’t think this is noise.  I get the production on it could lead to that opinion, but you can still make out the separate parts, and the chaos makes the bridge hit so much harder.  Chaos into a simple bridge. Love it.

    Don’t see how this could be considered a B side. I took that comment to mean it wasn’t well thought out or fully realized. I think it is.  Definitely is compared to the last three records.  Would you rather have the neutered punk of Johnny Guitar, SBWM, SuperSonic, etc?

    I don't post often but felt compelled after hearing running. Running feels more like a B side or at best just a filler album song. Seems an odd choice, by far the shortest song on the album

    I just don’t get at all how a few are saying this is filler or B side material.  I would be interested as to whether they feel this way about any songs from the last three records.

    Seems like something new that the band hasn’t done before. It’s different and fast. Wonder how it will sound live?

    Great tune. The guitars remind me of Hail, Hail. This album is meant to be played loud. And not through the speaker on your phone or your laptop.

    Another writing credit for Andrew Watt. Does the band really need help writing?

    Pretty much what everyone has said of everything Watt has produced so far.

    a 2:19 minute song is generally a filler or a b side, there is plenty of filler songs on the previous 3 albums but they don't get released as singles prior to an album release

    Nothing speaks to the glory of the internet as people attacking one another over their opinions on a song. This place continues to provide endless amounts of amusement for me and for that I thank you all.

    I'm liking this quite a bit more than Dark Matter.  Step in the right direction.

    Well - Still hoping like some scratch-off lottery for a few of the 9 other DM tracks to hit hard for me …Come on Wreckage? Setting Sun?! 
    Something on here is gonna be that familiar  pj jackpot! No album yet has been without a few.
