Re: dark matters chart chances
Generally all albums have a downward trend as they go except for singles or the ones that happens to be used elsewhere (in films or tv etc). I wouldn't look into it that much tbh. I'd imagine there's a chunk of Spotify users who'd only listen to generated playlists and radios rather than sit down wi...

Re: dark matters chart chances
Does Spotify show the number of plays of all Stranglers Albums? Can you share a link please? I'd love to see a ranking, but can never find it? It does if you use their PC application instead of web player. I can screenshot some of them for you... Dark Matters.PNG Not too shabby so far. For comparis...

Re: dark matters chart chances
Dark Matters will probably be The Stranglers worst selling album. Simple reason hardly anyone 'buys' albums anymore, so the 15,000 or so it sold pre-release gets it to 4. I don't know what the cut off for making the top 100 each week is in terms of actual sales maybe a few hundred?? So even these a...

Re: Dark Matters v Giants
With DM, it feels the format changed at least. From Norfolk to Giants, they all kinda followed a similar template of starting with aggressive rock 'n roll, some pastiche jazz/melancholic number in the middle and then go out with rocking bangers albeit slightly more contemplative

Re: All killer no filler'?
Ehh I'd never expect anything to be "all killer, no filler". Seems prone to setting yourself up for disappointment.

Re: Dark Matters - Second Thoughts
About nearly a week on, here's how I feel about them... Water Much improved from the live versions. Feels like the entire Stranglers band in full flow. This Song Maybe a bit too over the top with the vocals from Baz. For better or worse, it's the most reminiscent of their classic sound. I heard the ...

Re: Dark Matters - Initial Thoughts/Reviews
About 5 days on and Water, No Man's Land, Last Men On The Moon, White Stallion and Breathe has stuck the most. I'm quite happy if this turns out to be their final one

Re: dark matters chart chances
I don't think No Man's Land would do anything if it was released. Surely it's too uncommercial. I think all 3 singles released should have got attention but haven't so I'm not sure if anything would do well as a single now. Agreed, I can't really see them do another single once the album drops off ...

Re: dark matters chart chances
Those are great numbers to see. I think it's a success if Dark Matters finish in the top 20
