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.

That old man voice btfos rock singers with bad singing form and they tend to sound like that by at least their 40s. I was impressed seeing Kyuss how he doesn't sound like that despite the singer also getting on a bit.
