Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard & Jeff Ament on How Andrew Watt Helped Inspire Their Best Performances

[@katierodriguez3358]

This was a really good interview. Thank you for asking actual questions and allowing them to answer in full

Great album....Andrew did a brilliant job

[@LucasPenido]

This is by far, Pearl Jam’s greatest album since the “VS”.

[@chrissayeranderson5710]

The live recordings of some of the songs on the new album sound better and more powerful live. The mix seems a little claustrophobic, however he definitely helped inspire PJ and got them moving towards an earlier sound.

Why is this short clip actually showing everybody but the full clip is just audio?

[@ELMAR.78]

Andrew Watt está de parabéns, por incentivar, estimular esses sexagenários ficarem maia afinados do que munca. O resultado é o maravilhoso disco "Dark Matter". Vida longa ao PJ.

Good album. But the mixing and mastering is absolute crap. Brickwalled. Andrew did a major disservice to the whole thing. 😢. It needs a remix and remaster putting the life back into it. It is just a wall of muddled mess

[@georgebrown4626]

Hmm... But he did an amazing job of pushing the guys to write their best work in decades.

How do you listen to albums these days? Digitally? Do you think that could effect the finished sound?

[@revelry1969]

@@georgebrown4626 yes but at the cost of production and actual mastering/mixing: It is atrocious

[@revelry1969]

@@HarrisonHollers digital affects it for sure. I listen to all formats. Atmos, streaming, digital, vinyl. None of em sound that good. The album is amazing but it was mixed so brickwalled there is no air in there. Each instrument crushing each other one. This goes to inexperienced producer. He is a young kid who is used to his pro tools etc. travesty. Such an amazing album but terribly brick walled. The dynamics of this is tragically gone. Should have been produced by Andrew but mixed by Brendan. Andrew doesn’t even know he brickwalled this to hell

@@georgebrown4626 I am not sure if it is the best work in decades. They have had some great releases in the last 10 years
