After a couple of very disappointing efforts that convinced me it was over for Pearl Jamcels I have just given Dark Matter a listen and I like it.

They have clearly taken the long-overdue decision to cross the threshold into full-on Boomer Rock and it works.

Eddie Vedder's voice sounds back on form although, compared to Gigaton and Lightning Bolt, somewhat suspiciously so. If it's been technologically enhanced, it at least sounds better than the warbling old man voice of the previously mentioned albums.

A random portfolio manager nobody cares about posted this tweet just as an aside.

Note that this guy may have a wrong opinion (at least to me) but of course, who should care about this? It's not like this was a celebrity or artist like James Blake saying the saxophone is a bad instrument in an interview.

Here's the reactions:

I'll be the one to say it, calling Japanese jazz better than American Jazz is for sure racist.

you want an example of an American genre that the Japanese ran to the endzone with? that's noise rock. don't bring jazz into this.

I disagree

I think I'll probably just block you for being a racist p-dophile

I agree

These are big statements built off of what is ultimately personal taste.

Output is shaped by culture, and reinforced through shared preference.

So all you're seeing is where your preferences intersect.

An actual rational opinion

Japanese jazz is not superior to American jazz. Some of it is excellent but no serious jazz player would agree with that.

"""Same here"""

The most “Thing, Japan” post maybe ever.

A lot of you are exposing yourselves as anti-Black, Asian fetishizers, or both on here.

I argued with this guy before about Miles Davis biographies and biographers. I won.

"Japanese jazz is superior to American jazz"

Whether trolling or not I'm adding this to my file of top-notch bait

"Japanese jazz is superior to American jazz" you literally just hate Black people

A random Hotep joins in

Crying at thinking Japanese Jazz is better than the American BLACK Jazz … Better than the ORIGINATORS?! BASURA

I'm sorry. “Japanese Jazz” borrows heavily from the 70s fusion era of Return to Forever, Herbie Hanpeepee and the Miles Davis school of experimentation. It's…more rigid and soundtrack-y in comparison to the OGs. It's not superior. Stop this.

I heavily disagree with the Herbie Hanpeepee and Miles Davis comment but Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra definitely inspired "Japanese jazz".

Japanese jazz is superior to American jazz. BZZT. WRONG

Lmao, the gall of your average American "jazz" fan.

People say this and the Japanese jazz they're talking about is like Ryo Fukui

"Japanese jazz is superior to American jazz" is the worst misinformation to ever come from the youtube algorithm

'japanese jazz > american jazz' is such a dipshit normie take mostly from people who don't even listen to any jazz

Swans pfp

"japanese jazz is superior to american jazz" is one of those opinions that acts as a nazi dogwhistle

Didn't Adorno your Marxist college idol say jazz fricking sucked?

If one attempts, as has been the case often enough, to consider the use value of jazz, its suitability as a mass commodity, as a corrective to the bourgeois isolation of autonomous art, as something which is dialectically advanced, and to accept its use value as a motive for the nullification (Aujhebung) of the object character (Dingcharakter) of musk, one succumbs to the latestform of Romanticism which, because of its anxiety in the face of the fatal characteristics of capitalism, seeks a despairing way out, in order to affirm the feared thing itself as a son of ghastly allegory of the coming liberation and to sanctify negativity - a curative in which, by the way, jazz itself would like to believe. - Adorno, On Jazz

WORDS WORDS WORDS - TL;DR he fricking hates jazz because muh capitalism

The final quote I've got:

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD ORNETTE COLEMAN WAS OH MY GOD

@MarseyIsMyWaifu is this you? Also probably has only listened Ornette's 50's and 60's albums but not his 70's and 80's albums. Delusional.

A number of other quotes were talking about J-pop and following the same line of logic as this cute twink was on about Japanese jazz. Self-awareness is zero for (most of) these commenters. If you didn't read or even look at the Marseys, your average American jazz fan is as r-slurred as your average Japanese jazz fan or just calling this "racist" for some reason.

I won a CD of this song from a rhythm game at a skating rink arcade when I was like 12.

Still catchy.

This isn't over 'til we talk in

The light

Said I was sober, but you knew that

I lied

You grip the wheel, maybe I'd like

To try

I'll flip it over, with you and me

Inside

I won't atone for debts I paid for

In full

Hang up my shame on display for you

(for you)

I'm not the same and you don't get to

Decide

Who gets replaced, who gets to live and

To die

So what do you want from me, so what do you want?

So what do you want from me, so what do you want?

So what do you want from me, so what do you want?

So what do you want from me? (So what do you want?)

So what do you want from me, so what do you want?

So what do you want from me, what do you want? Oh

So what do you want?

Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Lightin' molotovs for the broken youth

A cheers to the life you don't get to choose

Another Antichrist on the evening news

Not another maggot in the feed that you're gonna eat

Motherlover, you can try

You hate the shape when you have to see

An unfamiliar face on an all-black screen

I made another mistake, thought I could change

Thought I could make it out

Promises break, need to hear you say

You're gonna keep it now

I miss the way you say my name

The way you bend, the way you break

Your makeup running down your face

The way you touch, the way you taste

When the curtains call the time

Will we both go home alive?

It wasn't hard to realize

Love's the death of peace of mind

Peace of mind

Peace of mind

Love's the death of peace of mind

You're in the walls that I made with crosses and frames

Hanging upside down

For granted, in vain, I took everything

I ever cared about

I miss the way you say my name

The way you bend, the way you break

Your makeup running down your face

The way you frick, the way you taste

When the curtains call the time

Will we both go home alive?

It wasn't hard to realize

Love's the death of peace of mind

When the curtains call the time

Will we both be satisfied?

It wasn't hard to realize

Love's the death of peace of mind

Peace of mind

Love's the death of peace of mind

Peace of mind

Love's the death of peace of mind
