A year ago today our minds were blown. You can argue it’s their finest work. A record that will stand the test of time. A record that I believe we will forever look forward to hearing live. 

HBD

to those attending the upcoming shows - have a great time!

    Happy Birthday Dark Matter.

    It gave me an all-time song, "Setting Sun", and others that will add to the soundtrack of my life.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Incredible album! Still spinning it front to back and no skips! It really is something amazing.

    Thank you for coming back to Atlanta! See you soon!

    Not nearly enough is being made about the fact that this incredible album came out a year ago today.

    And not nearly enough is being made about the fact that the American Revolutionary War began 250 years ago today at Lexington and Concord.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Dang. It's been a year already? Such a surprisingly satisfying record. I still rarely spin Gigaton, but Dark Matter is a classic.

    Also, I don't know if this has been discussed, but does anyone else think that the little lead guitar line in "Won't Tell" completely sounds like it was lifted from a Cure album?

    Love this album, still think Wreckage & Dark Matter should swap spots… something special I like, but doesn’t belong 

    scared of fear is fun opener

    setting Sun is all time beauty 

    put Upper Hand on the shelf for like 2 months til today… what a gem 

    I feel another record in 2026… Andrew will whip their ass to get in studio 🤣

    I posted the following re Won't Tell back in April 2024: Won't Tell - My instant favourite. What a creative way to share a dream. The mental imagery is reminiscent of Uncle Neil. I get some Cure vibes towards the end.

    Yep. Full on Cure. I need to try and figure out what song in particular it reminds me of.

    The guitar part at the end also has some echoes of Duran Duran's "Come Undone."
