Gonna be an unpopular complaint here, but that's what this thread is for right?
Not liking the new album, like at all. Fav is Dark matter I guess
Got to give is the only song that's cohesive, all the others are disjointed, sound is off, etc. 
Way too much about loss so much that I can't like the music of Wreckage or got to give. 
Other songs, meh, poor copies of gigaton songs.
Not enough Mike solo's.
Too short.
Vinyl is wayyy to expensive. Don't think I'm even gonna buy it, use my $50 somewhere else. 
Special should be on an Ed solo album
Listened to the album like 6 or 7 times, hopefully it grows on me, but there's no way it compares to any of their other albums.

Can't wait for the live shows though.

Curious about the format that you gave the album multiple spins on.  Can you hear Jeff's bass in the tracks?  Also, the laugh at 3:01 on React, Respond?

Spotify only, different speakers though, including my nice house setup. And once with headphones

Check the Spotify audio settings, there will be a High Quality option.  That's what I use.  And headphones was by far my best experience.  On React, Respond, you can hear clearly Mike activate his guitar tone at 2:55 and play a couple of intro ghost notes be he goes bonkers.  Need the HQ Spotify setting activated though.

That little segue after Stevie is way too short. Give us that full song. 

Seriously. Pull a Taylor Swift and release a second album's worth of material that didn't make DM.

Yeah, whens the double album drop?  Every great band needs one at some point!

I have mine on auto for cellular and wifi. Wifi would be very high I would assume as I have fios, cellular depends I guess. But I set wifi to very high. Will try that for the next listen. Thanks!

It's not the heavy album I thought we were getting.  A lot of it feels like an extension of Eddie's Earthling album, which doesn't make a great Pearl Jam album, for me.

I’d like to complain that this isn’t a complaint.

That's interesting as after hearing Earthling I thought Wow Eddie just made a Pearl Jam album. Hope the guys aren't mad at him for not including them. At any rate if the make a PJ record as good as Eddie's Earthling record they have hit a home run. Each song on Earthling has it's own story and unique sound which makes it great. Dark Matter is the same.

I prefer albums soaked in one sound and one overarching creative ideal.

To not have it sound like a compilation.

See: Neil Young - Harvest Moon

Complaining about the complaint thread, love it!

There's no hidden track on Dark Matter.
It's cloudy right now where I live.
And these complaints are all terrible

10c DM variant being a significantly not as described coloration can get added to the pile. Even a hint of red would have been acceptable but it's basically deep maroon/purple.

I have a complaint about these stupid flat billed snap back hats for kids..... I'm 48 what kind of dick would I look wondering around like a 14 year old . 10c stop selling rubbish hats. Just the normal cap is fine for people our age.  Thank you... Rob

I feel like some standards in labeling need to be set regarding baseball hats. Online purchases are such a crap shoot because you can’t get a good idea of how big the crown is. “Dad hats” are tiny on my fat melon so now I look like Tweedle-dee. Give me a fitted hat that is the same shape as they wear on actual teams.

That made me laugh out loud I hear you . Those dad hats are so shallow. Tweedle dee indeed

I'm pissed they aren't doing a warm up show in Bellingham.

I on the other hand love “dad hats” because new era style ones make me look like the Great Gazoo, so I also need clear labeling

They should have played 10 songs on the Stern Show

I'd like to complain about the overuse of compression on Matt's drums on the new album

I’m not sure I could pull off growing something as thick and luxurious.
