Pearl Jam - "Dark Matter" - ALBUM REVIEW ft. Noah Sommers of Princess

Published 2024-05-05
We're back, and guess what, so is Pearl Jam.

Nate and JJ aren't the biggest Pearl Jam fans on earth, but Evan is. So to even out the score, we brought in one of the biggest Pearl Jam fans, our good buddy and guitarist for the hardcore band Princess, Noah Sommers.

Noah is a songwriter, guitarist, and engineer from Pittsburgh who you would never expect to be a huge Pearl Jam fan, but god dammit he bought Gigaton on vinyl, even though he himself doesn't think the album is very good. he's ride or die.

You'd think Pearl Jam would be out of ideas by this point in their career, but "Dark Matter" proves they can still rock. Some of it still sounds like it should be coming from a construction worker's jukebox, and it’s not all that thrilling but your dad is gonna love it.

IQMB SCORE: 6.2/10 - ironclad yeah, whatever
