Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[stip]

I've said this before, but I strongly suspect they announced the album when they did because they had to announce the tour and needed to make it clear that it was in support of a new album. I'm sure they were still putting their finishing touches on it when they made the announcement (artwork, sequencing, etc). I doubt they are going back to the drawing board or doing anything major

The Cold Concession / LIR leaks could have been testing the waters to see if those tracks should be on the album.

If that is true I hope they got the message.

[stip]

Uh? So as of 8/23, the album artwork may still not be finished?

when did this guy do the video? It may be done and he hasn't seen the final product

I doubt they were involved in it. Also, since we have these songs I'd prefer they not be on an album based on the Ole principle.

once everything is totally done how long does it take to print and ship an album?

And the message wasn't drastically different on pearljam.com than it was here (because you can sure as hell bet that their market research is entirely pearljam.com-based.)

I wouldn't imagine it takes too long these days.

With MYM, CC, LIR, Of The Earth and even LB on it, which I'm beginning to accept as a quality tune despite its poppiness and earworm characteristics, this could be one hell of an epic record. Plus everyone is talking about Sirens being a great song, plus that soundcheck one is also looking quite promising at least... Shit, Pearl Jam, dont fuck this one up, do the right thing, please

It amazes me that no one has been able to track how, why and who leaked these. Couldn't the properties on the songs be traced to the original drop point? Can't we pull an ip address? C'mon RMers in the Tech Space.

Replacements are back together. I dont even care about PJ right now. With a massive switch in my fandom over the past 2 years it feels odd. Im sure this will all ramp back up come early october but right now my excitement is elsewhere.

Maybe this can be a thread / poll: the state of your fandom before and after the new album.

This is healthy. Continue on. Let it be or you might get all shook down.

See with those 2 I wouldn't mind if they were on an album because they would suggest a tone that I'd be pretty happy with. And I like them enough that I wouldn't be wondering if they're hiding better songs somewhere, these are the better songs.

That said I don't think they're gonna be on there.

Won't be yet but hopefully later on.

Yeah, I'd never pose that question to kurtleon. It wouldn't be fair.

But in this day in age with the NSA, wikileaks, FB/Twitter hacks, etc., etc., I gotta believe a decent - I dunno what to call it - hacker maybe? - can find out where these came from....
