Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
So how does this match up with that fake tracklist? Getaway sort of sounds similar to We're Outta Here or whatever, and I think they had that as the opener.

Yikes, the end of this record might be total weak sauce.

I'd remove the track names from the actual CD cover, tbh, but it's cool as is

MYM is the worst of the bunch. It tries too hard. I like Yellow Moon the best.

Re: Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!
No, sorry. I'm drinking. I mean, I like The End. But this is basically an inferior version of the same song, in the same place. An easy choice to end the album on an acoustic closer. I may be wrong but the songs sound so similar.theplatypus wrote:?harmless wrote:My worry is that it merely serves a function, like The End.
