From that audio interview with ShitpantsMccready it sounds like Ed did not have much (if any) material in the first go round of sessions. After those sessions is where Stone talked about it being a little more alienating etc...
Then Ed comes in to the 2nd session with Lightning Bolt, Future Days, getaway etc...
Who pushed for the crazy left turns before? Ed? If it was Ed before, then his need to not 'self-sabotage' their popularity by writing crazy shit will be even stronger.

Hey, if someone doesn't like this thead maybe he should start his own forum and then his own Lightning Bolt Thread and come to 500 pages that are better than these and then he can be a critic. OKAY?

Yeah, but you'd think he'd just roll with it if that's where the others are going. Can't blame him for fucking shit up then.
Unless he's operating on the assumption that at this point in their career they need the just breathes and future dayses to stay vaguely relevant.
