Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[stip]

It's been said before, but the journey that Brendan O'Brien has undertaken from PJ's savior to the spawn of Satan in just a few short years is pretty remarkable.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

But the song has some bite, so why goof off in a promo video for this song?

The best I could do with short notice:

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the guy on this comment thread posting as "PJ" the same guy who laid out all the correct info about the tour/single/countdown/etc, a month or two ago? Interesting if it is him since his comment here says "2nd single coming very soon"

I wonder if it's too late to start a petition to have Future Days replaced by a heartfelt and plaintive reading of Bibbity Bobbity Boo.

That depends on who died

That'd be nice.

He really does waffle. Whatever he could've said about this song wouldn't have been very enlightening.

If you reach back.....far enough into the....into history....the sound was always there first. You know? Even when people are...uh...fighting...it begins with sound. So....



*power nap*



If you let it, it just sort of comes together.

Well then, it's almost put up or shut up time. Do they go "all in" with 'Sirens' as the 2nd single???

[stip]

That was an al, btw

He really does waffle. Whatever he could've said about this song wouldn't have been very enlightening. I mean, it's not rocket science is it? "It's, um, about all the shit in the world... and um, yeah... um, put all these guys in a room and they could change the world."

Not that it matters because we got what we got but if you could choose the clip we got or a clip of Ed talking about the song...which one would you wanna watch? That's all I'm saying

It doesn't matter anyway, I liked the clip and ripped it from Youtube. I just love hearing about the song writing process from the guys. Damn I'm bored, LEAK already!

Great, now even stip is managing to out-disillusion me.

Or possibly chase the JB club with SBM.

That'd be nice.

Point is: if it is the same guy, he obviously is an insider/mole and we could have #2 coming our way sometime in September. Although if it's Future Days, I ask that they just save it.

I honestly would rather see something dramatised and witty like this. These guys are terrible at talking about their songwriting process. So yes, I would prefer just about any musical artist to say something, but not this band. At this point they have virtually nothing interesting to say about their songs. That's my belief, sadly. At least I got a smile out of this vid.

PJ organised for new NIN, Pixies and Arctic Monkeys to keep us busy for a few more weeks. They really have thought this through.

Yeah, I really don't want them to release FD early.

No way they're making a single out of the closing track. I'd say likeliest choices based on reviews so far are Getaway, Sirens, or LTRP.
