Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

Habbit has some pretty great thing happening in it.

I like pulling a white habbit out of a hat.

I just bought Bose, noise-canceling headphones, and Binaural has absolutely never sounded better.

A thought about Backspacer: By the sound of it, Lightning Bolt is going to be a "stormy" album, with flashes of post-Riot Act Pearl Jam. It makes me think "Binaural-era," experimental PJ, meets Backspacer with a hint of No Code. If this is true, listening to Backspacer may become refreshing. It might make more sense, whereas right now, it seems out-of-context.

If this is true, Lightning Bolt may end up being one of my favorite PJ albums. I love "Mind Your Manners," "Lightning Bolt," and "Future Days."

I only mostly hate FD now as opposed to totally hating it before the demo. My gut is telling me everything you said is what is what this album may be. Wieners crossed.

It's amazing what a decent pair of headphones can do for an album. The "return to form" I'm looking for in PJ is something that I can listen to on headphones and discover more layers and details. I really didn't find much of that on the last 2-3 albums. Riot Act did sound fantastic though.

The last 2-3? You didn't find layers on Riot Act? Were you sleeping?

I'm not a fan of noise cancelers, but I'm definitely a fan of talking about awesome headphones.

We even have a thread about it! http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtop ... f=10&t=361

I just listened to Backspacer as well, and I enjoyed it just as much as Binaural, strangely enough.

Maybe I love this band too much

Backspacer sounds great in headphones.

I know. My post was more about Lightning Bolt than the headphones. So, I decided to post it here.

That's cool. I was just showing you the thread in case you wanted to talk more about your new toy.

It really does. I personally think it's a solid album. I truthfully don't get the hate.

Part of me wants a great pair of headphones to listen to the new album with, but I also think I don't want to bother spending the money if it's crap.

Ah, cool. I appreciate that. Thank you

A nice pair of headphones is a worthwhile investment. Lightning Bolt doesn't change that.

I can't criticise Backspacer enough. But that doesn't mean I don't like it to an extent. I think most people just think it's PJ in their sleep. I think so too.

You're probably right.

It's worth it for all music, not just PJ. I highly recommend buying a pair.
