Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

And where's the sponge song gone?

You note this, but not the ridiculous inclusion of Betterman (live)? I guess lecherous' trolling has finally paid off.

My friend and I were talking last night. He's seen about 50 Pj shows or so from 95 onwards and he was saying how he hates that the gigs have become a celebration vibe.
I would agree that the mood/vibe that used to be there in Pj shows is gone somehow, there used to be all this energy and atmosphere created and based on set lists but now it's gone.
We were wondering how the writing in the new songs will reflect that. Are they gonna be writing from the content/peaceful place they seem to be at?
Will they still try to have something to rail against and how successful will this be if they're all blissed out?

All these questions. October is so far away

contentment is stagnation

Is it true all the best art is borne of pain?

None of those things are true

I dot troll. Do you think I do? Certainly don't mean to.

Betterman is only on the US version of iTunes. Not in the ireland or uk iTunes.

Isn't this an age long debate? I think you do have to suffer for your art. Not for it to be good but sometimes, yeah.

"We want to write songs that we can easily incorporate into our setlists."
-Ed

It's weird that he ever said this, considering the earlier ones fit a good setlist fine, the latter ones not so much.

[wilkins]

Been saying it for years, the concert vibe of yesteryear is gone, replaced with celebration and polish. New records reflect it and vice versa.

This is the worst wait for a PJ album ever.

Translation: the latter ones are easier to play

He literally minutes ago posted like the 58th fake tracklist he's posted since the beginning.

[dimejinky99]

Oh. What's his actual username?

Maybe he's just bored. Just ignore him.
