If they mean the way fists get pumping and we all chant yeah during Alive and you don't want to hear it then there isn't much left to be said.dwjmu84 said:“One has a chorus particularly tailor-made for chanting and fist-pumping.“

I’m the worst kind of person for expressing an opinion and speculating that a certain feature of the album may not be to my liking? That’s mature.mshnayder said:

Seems a continuation of an interest in space. EV's Invincible, Superblood Wolfmoon, Quick Escape. I hope it sounds way different personally.0

what I’ve learned today is that this community has some really, really judgmental folks who are easily threatened when you express and opinion they don’t like. I’m glad I’ve never run into or conversed with any of them in 28 years of fandom and going to shows.Some of these dolts’ heads will explode when I give my opinions on the album after it’s released. I can’t wait to watch it 😂0 -
What's even worse is a guy posting screen shots of that guy's posts. Hey, talk about creepy!on2legs said:

I just want to say to Juggler. If there is no sax on this record at all then you are not very cool man. Not cool at all.0

Or here’s a thought. Learn how to read opinions that differ from yours and move on without internalizing. You seem very defensive/thin skinned.kmcmanus said:

You will get plenty of opportunities to complain about the album after you actually, y’know, hear it.It’s clear you didn’t carefully read my earlier post where I said, and I quote, “if the listening party DOES happen, then that’s great” (paraphrasing).
I’m going to leave it at that. If my opinions continue to ruffle your feathers than it’s obvious I’m living rent free in your head (and that’s not even my goal).
Hope the Dark Matter is amazing. If it’s got some weaknesses in my opinion (bc of course art is subjective) I will feel free to express that.Take care!0
