So there were people actually complaining? That's shocking. It's a double-disc release, so what exactly were people complaining about?

Yeah I meant more like complaining that they can't attribute a proper vote here on MS since one album is much better than the other =p

Yeah, I've come to appreciate Sky Blue much, much more. It feels more like a culmination of his life's solo works rather than just a continuation of Epicloud the more I listen to it. Dark Matters only has a couple of good songs, and works more when listened to as a whole. I might definitely consider Sky Blue.

Sky Blue is really great. Dark Matters is fine, but not one of his best. And it's probably a cash grab, but screw it, Devin's earned the right to reap the rewards of his endeavors

I never bought the original release, so this will gives me a good opportunity, and one I'm likely to take. Mainly for Sky Blue.

Sky Blue is definitely the better album, although Dark Matters without the narration is great.
