Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[darth_vedder]

I've never liked "Swallowed Whole", just not my back and sounds like an outtake from Into The Wild.

Unpopular opinion, but I think "Sleeping By Myself" is one of the best songs on this album (which is my least favorite PJ album).

[Hatfield]

This album has aged very well for me. I listened on my walk into work and I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed it. The powerful guitars and Matt/Jeff are a big reason for it.

I do too. It's a good performance too.

[mikejasond]

Sleeping by Myself is definitely one of the best on the album

[E.H. Ruddock]

yeah but the best part of a turd is still a turd. Or whatever the saying is.

[bodysnatcher]

i can't believe we're still talking about this album

Remember how pissed everyone was when the tracklist dropped and OH MY GOD THEY TOOK UP SUCH PRECIOUS SPACE WITH A FULL BAND VERSION OF SOME DUMB EDDIE VEDDER SONG THAT WE'VE HAD FOR LIKE EIGHT YEARS ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

That was fun.

I actually think if the last album was all full badn versions of ed's uke songs I would have liked it more than lightning bolt.

Same.

+1.

The full band Setting Forth is surprisingly fun.

I don't know what number (+) I am but, yeah, count me in.

[Birds in Hell]

God, no thanks.

I think Sleeping By Myself might be the worst thing they’ve ever done.

Looks like you're sleeping by yourself tonight, Speeno.

Agreed.

[stip]

It’s a great song you nudniks!

[PHATJ]

Sleeping By Myself is a shit factory. It should never have been on the album. I may feel a bit less hostile towards it if it were a B-side or fan club single.

[KurtLeon]

Getaway is a good song hidden in a terrible mix.
Mind Your Manners is ok
My Fathers's Son could be good with a better delivery from Ed and a less wordy lyrics
Sirens is ok, deserved a better delivery too.
Lightning Bolt is alright.
Infalible has an awesome vers, a cool bridge, an awesome instrumental with a terrible chorus
Pendulum is GOOD.
Swalloed Whole is awful.
Let The Records Play is fun, and I love the main riff and the instrumental.
Sleeping By Myself is awful.
Yellow moon is GREAT
Future Days is terrible.

Still my least favorite album, the closer I have to be a bad album.

I’m on board with almost all of this.
