    Check your SPAM/junk e-mail for a "Dark Matter" download from 10C. That's where mine was. Didn't know we were getting it. Downloaded in FLAC too. Excellent.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    I love McCready on this album.  He effortlessly shreds all over and spiced it up.  Funny because it seems effortless for him.  Top notch master musicians here.  Great work

    This album hits on all cylinders, with something for everyone… heavy bass, pounding drums, beautiful melodies, searing guitar solos, master riffs, and meaningful lyrics. It really sounds well put together. 
    Can’t wait to hear these songs live!

    If you pre ordered any version of DM from the Tenclub store you should have received an email with a link to download the album. There's mp3, FLAC, ALAC. 

    Also, HD Tracks and Qobuz have the HD too.

    Really like it. The second half it stronger. I think Mike stands out a lot too, has some great riffs throughout.

    Standout songs (so far…) - Upper Hand, Waiting for Stevie, Got to Give

    Wow!!! This album is fire! I was very sick this morning and I was like a zombie going to buy the album at my local record store. What a pleasure to listen to it at home very loudly with my great headphones and my eyes closed. At the cinema, the sound was good but not loud enough and my neighbor spoke very loudly throughout the screening so.. Healing with a new pearl jam album, what more could you ask for!
    Great job guys and thank you!

    Amazing!

    My verdict after four full listens, including one Atmos listen through headphones with lyrics: 9/10
    Pearl Jam's best since Avocado (and I love Avocado!).
    Some of Eddie's best songwriting for sure, exploring very vulnerable and grown-up themes of reconciliation, time, friendship, family, fear, hope, change and, ahem, faith (a lot of references to prayer, faith, "kingdom come," and, thematically, eschatology.)
    The playing, especially the rhythm section, is phenomenal. 
    My only real complaint: The mix. It is incredibly compressed. There is no room for the music to breathe, there is no real space between the instruments, and Ed's voice gets lost in the stew of loudness throughout the album. 
    I'm hoping the vinyl features a better master.

    Oh yeah the new record is out! 10c record variant........... crickets. Not even a delivery date. This should be completely unacceptable, clearly the business model change was not for the fans.

    I was thinking that this morning after listening. Really happy with it. Avocado might be the dividing line between younger angrier PJ and mature parental PJ. But DM is definitely on top since then in my mind.

    Great album. I was originally concerned about lyrics knowing that the whole idea was to come together and put something out quickly but the lyrics are solid as hell.

    I'm 100% satisfied. It's very eclectic. I hear a little Petty, Floyd, Springsteen, and, of course, the punk influences.
    Upper Hand = Goosebumps. That one, and a lot of these are going to sound AMAZING live. Mike and Stone continue to SHRED!
