So your idea that this is an extension of the darker aspects of Backspacer could be right.stip wrote:Thank you!Vindicator wrote:Swallowed Whole in negatives, it's so sad and sickening.

Could be. The art is certainly purposeful in a way we haven't seen since vitalogy.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
they might not count that one. pearl jam is only 8 letters and there are supposedly 11 tracks... I dunno.B wrote:Very nice, but does MYM fuck this up?BurtReynolds wrote:good i thought I was going crazy for a minute.

My guess is that Lightning Bolt is probably gonna be in between the Pearl & Jam.B wrote:Very nice, but does MYM fuck this up?BurtReynolds wrote:good i thought I was going crazy for a minute.

To me, the YM art looks more like the 'P' than the 'J' . . . . .

Sgt. Crackpot wrote:For some reason, from the artwork and song titles alone, I'm getting a feeling that this album has a running theme of the apocalypse. For example:
Yellow Moon: A warning of what's to come.
Sirens: Time to panic. It's here. Run for your lives.
Lightning Bolt and Swallowed Whole: The apocalypse in all it's glory. If you don't get struck by lightning, the ground will open up and you'll be swallowed whole.
Death coming from the sky:
And soon you’re thrown down on your knees, and then you’re dead
Then before you know, The weeds are obesely overgrown
Set free = death:
Until the lightning strike SETS!! you free! YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!!
God:
And with no repair in sight there is
No God with such might
As you open her world.. wide with such a view.
And Your efforts to arrive
As she finally decides
That all her problems, they will die with you
She’s a lightning bolt
Mind Your Manners: Where's God now?
I caught myself believin'
That I needed God
And if it's hard for some
We sure could use it now
Death:
Go to Heaven
That's swell
How do you like it
Livin' Hell
Infallible: Those that survive and remain are only the strongest, toughest, the immune.
Future Days: Redemption. We survived, so now we're looking to the future.
God (again):
Back when I was feeling broken
I focused on a prayer, you came deep from the ocean
The apocalyspe:
The hurricanes and cyclones rage
The winds (?) into dust
The floods they came and the tides they raised, ever closer became us
Looking back, the warnings were true:
All the promises at sundown, I met them like the rest
Demons dancing used to come round before now they've left
Believe to survive:
I believe and I believe ‘cause I can see
Our future days, days of you and me
Harmless, this is totally the album we were looking for. We just need a zombie related song and we're set.

spelling out "pearl jam" is a stretch, even for RM standards
