Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I loved this!
Remind me a bit of Vitalogy and Binaural and cheese (and I love cheese)
maybe my favorite of the album so far.

I keep seeing people say Sirens is gonna be huge. Am I the only one that thinks that at this stage in the game, the best PJ can hope for is a fluke hit like Last Kiss or Just Breathe? They've been the best at getting an intentional big hit, especially this century.

I would think revoking forum "privileges" is far more likely than outright de-activation of membership.

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

Just Breathe was not a "fluke" hit. It was a properly released second single that was promoted well. Also, catchy.Oh, Jimmy wrote:I keep seeing people say Sirens is gonna be huge.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
My best piece of advice for this song if you are unsure is keep playing it. I'm even starting to like the solo!
Awesome song. Can someone repost the lyrics that I saw a bunch of pages ago? I can't seem to find it.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I know this album is not for just me, or about me, but here is another parallel with my life. I am older now than my mother when she died. People who have lost a parent, have this strange change in their way of thinking, that makes them think they will never make it past that age either. Then, when you cross that line, suddenly a new 'life' sort of starts. There is even a possibility of getting old. Let's just hope this counts for the band as well.harmless wrote:So, there's quite a bit of Death in this album, then. It's like they took the song 'The End' and said 'Oh wait...' and now we have the afterlife.

Looks like when LB hits the shelves, BS will fade into bolivia.
Other than Johnny Guitar, i see no other song that could survive the beating that LB is going to dish out.
