As 'Dark Matter' becomes Pearl Jam's twelfth studio album it brings them back to heavy music but pioneers fresh auditory experiences. The group shocks listeners with their intense sonic direction through songs 'Scared Of Fear' and 'React Respond' despite maintaining a safe musical approach over the past many years. Dark Matter shows the masterful musicianship of Jeff and Mike during its instrumentation through their advancing dramatic interaction. Lyrically 'Running' falls short yet alternative songs keep their blues heritage alive by combining basic compositions with the distinctive main vocal delivery of Eddie. Following the midpoint of the album Pearl Jam presents new experimental compositions 'Upper Hand' and emotional "Setting Sun" to show the band's continued ability to produce deep meaningful music during their 33-year career.
