I don't get this sentiment at all. I thought the turntable was great, and the guy preaching to the two dunces was a bit provocative, which I like. This one, to me, seems to be in the same vein as all of them. What I guess I'm saying is that I really have zero clue how you all define lame.

Think about, its two guys giving each other "cheers" with two molotovs instead of two beers.
Very cool graphic indeed.

According to the poll above, 33% voted for either Getaway or LTRP... which just boggles my mindguitar_davey wrote:harmless wrote:It was sort of lame to start with.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
I don't know if I define lame in the same way as "us all". We're not all programmed or anything. I love the themes, nearly all of the song titles, but from an artistic standpoint, the first four images are by far my favourite. All this "OMG you have different opinion to me? You're dead inside!" is getting really boring.guitar_davey wrote:harmless wrote:It was sort of lame to start with. Definite step down in quality since the first four.

I just meant the flaming bottle was lame.
The concept so far has been great.

I can't say I'd be able to pick a favourite. I was a little nonplussed at the vector art thing when they first rolled out MYM, but now that the entire concept is revealing itself, I like the direction they've gone with it. I initially thought the Future Days artwork was corny, but by the time it had all played out, I thought it was pretty cool.
As for the titles, I can't really say how I feel about any of them without context.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
It really seems like we're getting a new song title here.
Looking back on that RS article with BoB, he says: "A song called "Infallible" – at least that's what I believe it's called – is also a little more developed that way." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... t-20130731
So maybe they changed the name?

Sorry, I shouldn't have generalized. I'm new here. I've been a Pearl Jam fan since the beginning and I'm kind of blown away how strong some people's opinions are about the smallest details of the band's art, lyrics, decision-making process, etc. I'm by no means an apologist for the band, but they've put out a lot of music I like and have seemingly remained very grounded. That's enough for me.
