Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[harmless]

True story: this album has sucked for less time than your posting has.

agreed .
And I actually like that Arcade Fire song, so it's about time I start listening to them again. I am also all for a PJ disco album. And a cover album, a heavy metal one, and something really experimental.
Back to the possible singles: Future days and Lightning Bolt take turns in my head, so they definately have hit potential. And if Sirens becomes a single, and if it gets airplay, I would guess it would be their first number 1 hit since long. Because it is good.

Awesome.

I have one more question about Sirens: does it feel related to, or an improvement on, Inside Job? If not, what previous songs does it remind you of?

I think Inside Job is more fragile and personal. Sirens, for what I know after this only time, is more a love/goodbye/comfort song. Although I just checked my notes again and it even has the word 'fragile' in the lyrics. I can not name a similar song. Or one to group this one with.

Great, thanks for answering that.

Apparently a review copy of LB leaked last night & some South American fans reported it to Kat and got it taken down. The leaker posted about it somewhere. Real clever.

You'd be searching for it on the basis of a dime post.

I think I understand how it is better now

Also i haven't heard Mike's interview yet but didn't he say he wrote the solo for it does that mean this isn't his song originally?

If they do go with "Sirens" as a single, they need to make an over-the-top video with choreography and dolphins and dolphin choreography.

At the very least we're gonna get Eddie on a rock in the sea, a la can't keep.







I tried hard to forget that video.

One of the Pj whatsapp groups I'm in. Lot of those folks are on the pit a lot more than we would be.

I've been on the Pit myself a lot lately for the conversation about LB, and haven't seen that. But they get banned if they talk about leaks, so that might explain the lack of info there.

[dimejinky99]

I'm assuming they're on other forums too, a lot of the members are international.
They're good people.

Were there at least clips/sound bites from the McCready interview?

I still haven't read it, but there were no clips.

No soundbytes from the album, just an interview

he did say that... my interpretation of that is.. he took the time to write out a solo for the song (like he did for ATW), whereas usually he sort of improvises (for lack of a better term) his solos..
