" Pearl Jam announce new album 'Dark Matter,' share title track - Pearl Jam have announced Dark Matter, their 12th album and the followup to 2020’s Gigaton. Guitarist Mike McCready promised an album that’s “a lot heavier than you’d expect” in an interview with Classic Rock last fall, and following the dancier vibes of Gigaton, Dark Matter‘s lead single and title track does indeed feel like a return to Pearl Jam’s classic ’90s grungy hard rock vibes. Check it out below. The album drops April 19 via Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records." https://www.brooklynvegan.com/pearl-jam-announce-new-album-dark-matter-share-title-track

I’ve avoided PJ fans online for years because of all the insistence on everything equating to Ten, or nothing measuring up. I don’t fit the factions.

In my defense I was not criticizing the song. I was responding to the quote in the title about this sounding like a return to their "90s grungy" sound.

@atzanteol Oh, sorry - I DID understand that! Was just continuing the dialogue.

I’m an “invisible” fan who’s been nuts for the music since … uh, well, since Temple of the Dog? Which would have been when when (most of) PJ was first heard on alt-rock radio in my University town. Ten was the soundtrack to my 2nd year.

I’ve only paid attention to “fan” stuff since the pandemic, though and find it kinda funny to read a 30 year old “music journalist” either crowing or complaining about “grunge”.
