Song of the Moment: Lightning Bolt

[Thejambi]

how come we're not talking about how great the guitar solo is after the first verse/chorus?

It's not.
It's cool and fits well though. The Swallowed Whole solo is where it's at so far.

[harmless]

Crap.
How am I supposed to hate you when you've been agreeing with everything I said for the last two days?

Oh, trust me, I still think you're a dick.

Thanks! and fuck you!

What a relief

This is what it's all about guys.

I love it. Especially that clean chainsaw sound at the end

It's good but I'd like to dwell a bit more on other little tweeks that saved the song for me:

1) Stone comes in strong to save the chorus riff;
2) Mike dubs over the poppy verse riff at some point and saves it by making it sound more rawk then brit pop.

I love the three "ummph! ummph! ummph!"s at end of Mike's solo

Made me wanna listen to the Whale Song

It helps that the studio version is a little *slower* and groovier.

I was just noticing how cool that is. There's some good guitar lines in this song.

i like what matt is doing during the second half of the first verse (the build)

[nyquillyn]

Can we get an option below "Hate it" for the poll?

[stip]

actually I need to change it for the studio

I didn't expect to like it, but the effects-laden toms really add to that part. And I like that they're repeated in the background of the outro, kind of like how Mike's intro riff to MYM is repeated at the end as well.

[Mine]

What haven't been said about this one? I hear some Better Days and WWS in it. There's something really likeable about Lighting Bolt i don't know how it's gona age though.

[Strat]

I do really enjoy the first Mike solo. Good tone.

[stip]

strat, put on headphones and crank this up. It's so good. Especially the final minute forty five.

[harmless]

All these songs need headphones.

[stip]

that's true, but that's true of most songs that have a lot going on.

[Heathen]

you need to change the poll's caption as well
