🎧 Pearl Jam, "Dark Matter". It's a Pearl Jam album. It rocks, the drums are criminally over processed, Stone's riffs are still driving the bus, and Eddie gets his introspective moments. Their last....five? albums are interchangeable. But the fact that they are still standing after 30+ years with 4/5 of the original band, and with their integrity mostly intact is good enough for me. They are a familiar and welcome friend.
