Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Farmer John]

I dont think I can get excited for anything thats more than 2 months out. Thats just not how I roll.

Me too. Unless it's the final season of Breaking Bad. Then it seems I can get exciting for something that's a year away.

[EJ]

Judd Apatow hasn't returned my messages. I'm still trying to confirm if this album really is hot fire.

This thread is light years away from its equivalent on the Pit. That hasn't moved at all for ages.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Maybe I should use this space now to let folks know that I am still excited.

Im with you

And I will remain very, very excited after the record release on Oct. 15 when I will see the band play that night at Worcester I.

Im still interested to see if the shows before the album release get only MYM, LB and FD or if they will start playing all the songs they plan on playing for the whole tour right from the beginning

How many shows before the album comes out?

looks like 2 before and the 1 the day of

[Waverider]

It's funny how people seem to think that "Future Days" will magically become a better song once a better recording is available.

It will be better and more enjoyable. Will it stop some fans from throwing empty pop cans at Eddie during the upcoming tour? Debatable.

[Waverider]

So I am reading all these complaints about not being excited anymore because of no new news. Let's see how unexcited you are for the album when they release the tracklist. And then when more details come out shortly thereafter. These extreme reactions seem to be par the course for PJ fans. We are still months out. Have some patience.

And if I die tomorrow??! Then what?

You'd miss the final season of Breaking Bad.

Now that you are back, we will try to catch up to them

I genuinely can't wait to hear the soundchecked song. I feel like a fanboi when I think of it.

[dimejinky99]

Listening to LB and FD, I wonder if this one will be Pj's big 80s rock record.

I thought they already did that with Ten?

Im excited for the whole thing, but siren or sirens is the one that i was always hoping was not fake, and if that's the soundcheck song then im probably as excited for it as you

I thought that was part of what killed the 80s rock

It killed the 80s rock at the time, but if there's one thing we know about 80s rock and Pearl Jam, it's that neither ever really dies.

They killed it - and now they're fighting to get it back again.

That was a pretty good story arc. They sold a lot of magazines and flannel on that angle. Commendations and year end bonuses, all around.

Please no. Force of nature is one song too many pj 80s rock for me.

I'm excited for the soundcheck song, and LIR and CC kind of bolstered my faith in pj being capable of producing the kind of songs I want hear post 03 so there's that.

Its been a few weeks since I've listened to either FD or LB but i don't know that i get an 80s feel to either

Me neither. The only song that could become an 80s rock masterclass is the soundcheck song. Big Rocky IV vibes in that one.
