Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Good news guys, BOB says the band only calls him when they are ready to do something "outgoing and significant". So that means this album is going to be better than Binaural and RA. GREAT NEWS!!!!

"The pros are, when they’re ready to do something a little more outgoing, significant – whatever you want to call it, that’s what I call it, I can’t help myself! – they call me again." -BOB

Spoiler: show

Seriously, fuck this guy

I wish I understood what this means.

It means that he thinks any music made by PJ without his control - is utter rubbish.

% chance BOB has even listened to Binaural or riot act?

BOB: "I've never heard of those."

I really don't see O'Brien's disinterest in Pearl Jam's other work as some egregious crime. I think it's understandable that his work with the band is, ultimately, just work to him.

He's not a Pearl Jam fan, they hire him to do a job.

I can picture BOB driving down a highway on a sunny day with a hot girl in an open top car, glove box full of only albums he recorded and the stereo cranked. At the point in time where there is a lull in conversation he uses the opportunity to point out "Hey did I tell you I recorded this album? Check out my keyboard solo" and he gives himself a Wayne's World headbang moment.

The more he speaks the more he seems like that sort of guy.

A job that would be done better if he cared about the canon and knew their other work intimately, no?

You know who the last person I'm thinking of is when I'm listening to Pearl Jam....the producer.

That's for the band to decide. In any event, I think he's probably worked with them enough to get a read on their vibe by now.

I'm really hoping that'll be true of the next one. All this has kind of soured me on it.

Maybe. Maybe it was part of the brief to make them sound very unlike their former selves.

Gordon Ramsay for me.

I think about him and his sublime beef wellingtons all the timeZ

So we've confirmed that Tj is a second account of Thodoks, right?

Gordon Ramsay for me.

Unless you're talking about his solo album.

[Jorge]

Oh yeah, I forgot that Gordon Ramsay had recorded an album. I've heard the production is FUCKING RAAWWWWW
