Stereogum’s Dark Matter album review

bicyclejoe · March 30

“Some will hear a fiery rebirth after a series of more stilted or staid Pearl Jam collections. Some will hear a pale shadow of past glories. Yet some will hear all they need: a new Pearl Jam album, delivered as they approach their final act, sounding like nobody but themselves.“

Decent review, seems more realistic than trying to compare the new songs to old songs.

I feel that the person who wrote it has more than a passing knowledge of the band which is good. I feel like all the reviews and passing opinions about the album has been overall positive. I listened to the behind the metal door video again, and feel that we are in for a treat. Can't wait till the 16th!

This seems like a more level-headed review than the one I saw from Guerilla Candy. I like the fact that the author says that the 2 singles aren't really representative of the rest of the record.

Good review, makes me even more excited which I didn’t think was possible. I’ve seen 4 reviews so far and this is the LEAST positive, and the album this describes sounds amazing to me.
