Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!

[harmless]

No. Lots of bands have done that.

damnit the theory is sound! I've run the simulations!

thats why we hate them and love PJ, remember?

7.
8. Getaway
9. Swallowed Whole
10. Yellow Moon
11. Sirens
12. Future Days

a) Future Days just makes sense, from what we know about, as a closer
b) BoB said that Sirens was one of the longer songs and second to last is a typical spot for placing the longest song on the album.
c) Getaway feels/sounds/vibes, etc. as a track 8 (you know the punkish/rocking number that's the 2nd track on side B - think grievance, get right, etc.)
d) I originally pictured Swallowed Whole as a 4, 7 or 9. So this would fit as well. (don't ask me why, just believe it!)

I don't remember that. What's happening to me?

This sounds made up.

i vaguely remember reading somewhere that LB was at #7

So 'Getaway' is this album's Supersonic.

oh well, I was going to compare the title to big wave and supersonic in justifying my reasoning for guessing that it was #8, but then I did not want to forever spoil your potential enjoyment of Getaway for all eternity.

[Strat]

pretty solid speculation going on in here.

a three minute version of its middle part. PJ be channeling their inner ZZ Top.

"Logical extension of Backspacer."

What if this album is the yin to BS's yang? The dark side to its light side?

We have tracks which are self-referential ("Swallowed Whole") and stylistically, it seems to me that tracks of a similar style are in the same place on the album.

If "Unthought Known" was track 7, LB being there would continue to make perfect sense.

after all, the image does include dunce caps... so it could be a fun/goofy track ala those 2 tracks whose names must never be spoken

[Iowaska_Experience]

Getaway = RVM [part deux]

Future Days as the album closer would *maybe* help to explain that out of place piano outro. I could buy that being a bookend of an album. Maybe it's the intro to the album, too, a la master/slave.... god I hope not

that would mean we got our conceptual double album everyone was (s)creaming for. And that would piss a lot of people off.

This sounds made up.

you obviously have never felt the vibe of a number 8... it's quite unique

The difference is that SW / UK and G / S should be switched around to fit the theory perfectly.

Only if you can also call 'Supersonic' that. Which, er, you can't.

I would be fine with it. Let's be honest, even if they're a pair, they're still hopefully different albums. Maybe Brendan wanted to start immediately with the next one because the two albums are part of the same concept. I still think this one's got a chance of being much better.
