the problem I have with Dark Matters is that it took the "wacky" humor from Deconstruction (my least favorite part of that album), turned it up, and made the story more important than the music, unlike in Ziltoid and Deconstruction. the result is that I'm sick of the dumb story so I never want to listen to the album anymore. the songs weren't especially great either, everything after March of the Poozers is pretty forgettable honestly
