    Not sure where it's going to fall at this point, but DM seems destined to be in the 1st tier of post-2000.albums along with Avocado, Binaural, and Gigaton.

    This seems right, though I'm only half way through my first listen to DM. I know I've never listened to either of the last 3 on the list once I was done seeing shows for that tour. Hope that isn't the case for DM, but we'll see. I play the first 2 semi regularly, which is like once or twice a year.

    Yeah, I think this is spot on for me too.

    After a few more listens, I can easily see DM jumping over Avocado though.

    I think this is my list as well.

    If backspacer and lightning bolt went out of print and disappeared off the face of the earth I wouldn't miss them at all. Particularly lightning bolt. I went back to listen to it for the first time in years while gearing up for the new album and couldn't get through it. Was even worse than I remembered. I do still like Pendulum though, so at least it had that.

    Way too early to put a good ranking on Dark Matter.  Got to let it breathe and evolve and see where it’s taken in a live setting.  To me a song like Retrograde didn’t really stand out to me listening to Gigaton but after hearing it live it really jumped up the chart for me.  So right now while I dig every song after 3 days let’s let ‘em evolve
