Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[B]

Where's the fucking SPOOOOOOAAAOAOAAANAAAAAAAANNGE

[epilogue]

This thread is tons of fun and all, but honestly, IF and I mean IF this Sponge business is real, don't we all agree that it'll just be this album's Hey Fakhah?

What if its like a short "Out Of My Mind"? I'd like that

I'd actually be pretty happy if it was a spoken word track in the style of Wet My Bed by STP.

[epilogue]

Well, that was quick.

What are you ever on about, puss?

[harmless]

i'm pretty disappointed that Kewl Milk is nowhere to be found on this album.

I think I saw Navy Bean but I had to squint.

[dimejinky99]

Completely OT question, but was Siamese dream all brickwalled/compressed or whatever that is?

[melonhead4]

Wasnt Apollo the name of Stones recent EP....hmmm

[Coach]

I think people are reacting to the fact that, 4 years after Backspacer, they're putting out a new version of a song we've already heard. This gives the impression that they're running low on creativity and are turning to cannibalizing their solo work because of a lack of inspiration.

I pointed out "Betterman" as an example of a rehash that worked, but I think there's a difference in that Vitalogy only came out a year after Vs. There's less built-up expectation.

Exactly, if it's true - that SBM is on the new record - isn't that like copying a term paper you wrote for one class and handing it in a year later for a different class?

If you're going to just cut and paste songs you've already asked us to pay for, why not give us 13-15 tunes on the record, then?

(If this is true) Is there any doubt that We're Outta Here is going to be another Pop-Punk type song?

Exhibit A:

Is there ever?

Exhibit A:

Platy mentioned that earlier in the thread. But when was the last time PJ closed an album on a rawker?

Where's the sponge?

*clap clap clap*

*clap clap clap*

Where's that fucking spooooooooooooonguuuuhhh?

Still better than anything off their last 2 albums.

Does WtS = Who You Are (Part 2)??

They are probably adding claps to another Ed number. Ed couldn't be bothered with it so he made the band and engineers stick around. I bet they are very happy about it too

'Outta Here' is probably going to suck. Apart from it ripping off The Ramones, it also sounds too much like 'Leavin' Here', which was a cool song already.

[harmless]

If it's true, so far we have 'homages' to The Ramones, Pink Floyd, Motorhead, Ed's wife, and a surfboard company.

[Strat]

There is some world class speculation going on here lately!

"We're Outta Here" is their blunt hint that this is the last album.

PJ of late: Formulaic. RM of ever: Forumulaic

Mind Your Manners = The Fixer (first single)

Future Days = Just Breathe (second single)

Lightning Bolt = Amongst the Waves (third single)

I'll believe the LB tracklist when I see it in my hand, until then, they're all fake.

It's a slow clap after hearing the first take of Future Days.

Ed is probably in the control room adding some atmospheric layering "yea yeahs" to the track
