HBD Dark Matter

PJ5a1 · April 19

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 to a great record!

Still can’t believe (or maybe I can believe) they got something like this out 33 years in

We All Believe · April 19

Happy Birthday Dark Matter.

It gave me an all-time song, "Setting Sun", and others that will add to the soundtrack of my life.

I love this album so much

CarryTheZero · April 19

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.

Indeed!

Happy Birthday!

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 🤣

YAKIMATSU · April 20

Favorite album of this century.

TJ25487 · April 21

Happy Birthday you beautiful bastard! Definately up there with their finest works.

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."

Agreed. Also a bit of "In Between Days". I'm liking these 80s influences like in DOTC.

Amazing album. Love it so much!! So glad I got to see both Vancouver shows and Missoula last year.

"Pictures of You" as well although The Cure does have that cool melody running through their overall catalog which is great. I also love PJ's ode to other bands and other genres. I love DOTC and Dark Matter has some great influences such as Peter Gabriel, Cure, and Bad Religion. Ed has said of a few of their albums that he feels it is their best work and when he said it about DM he may have been right.
