Description
A clipped snare flam before the first chorus of Scared of Fear snaps you upright. Pearl Jam’s Dark Matter, produced by Andrew Watt, finds them punchy and unguarded, trading polish for nerve. Running tears past at hardcore pace, all palm-muted guitars and a bass that claws forward, while Wreckage leaves air around Vedder’s voice so the lyric lands.
On this clear LP the mix breathes; low end sits deeper and imaging feels more focused. Guitars bite without glare, and Vedder sits forward in the pocket. It slots neatly beside your Soundgarden records but leans more toward present-tense urgency than nostalgia. Suits a late-night Melbourne lounge or the commute equally well.
If you’d prefer to click rather than dig, you can buy Pearl Jam records online via our store. The package looks tidy, but the real gain is how the band’s dynamics hit harder at sensible volume. Fans who drifted after the aughts era will be surprised by how direct this feels, and lifers will clock the little risks woven through the choruses. It plays loud without getting shouty.
