That's how I read into it, and I sure hope the hell I'm right.

If Sirens is the soundcheck song, it has a chance of being really good. It will not be so spacey and full of reverb, obviously, so that's the only worry. At the moment, in my head at least, it's the best song on the album and can be compared with SOH.

Same here, pal.

I've probably been duped by every single second account on this board. It's just another one of those internet things I don't understand.
I smell a second book, friend.

I was only half joking when I said, long ago, that I thought there were really only about 10 people posting on RM.

The real question is... will Lightning Bolt feel like a Pearl Jam second account?

I feel like someone needs to sig quote it but it won't be me as I like mine too much.

I wonder if Chris O'Dowd has heard Lightning Bolt yet. Or is he too minor a celebrity?
