Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[harmless]

Well, pretty much. What else were you thinking mattered? Nothing outside of your own opinion, surely?

[Lounge Lizard]

In reality, it's our opinions that don't matter a bit

[McParadigm]

I'M ADDING THAT TO THE LIST, MISTER

None of this matters, let's be honest.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

i think ill try to watch family matters at lunch time

Finally heard the song...wasn't what I was expecting. It didn't seem so much power ballad as an overblown version of the kind of soft-country pop that Ryan Adams does pretty often. It also kind of reminded me of R.E.M.'s Around the Sun record; not so much in the instrumentation, but it's like they're taking these really hackneyed songwriting and instrumentation ideas and digging to find a good song in them.

On the first few times, I liked the song, but it's certainly a confusing listen.

[Mike]

I hope SBM will sound like this.

[Heathen]

Looks like too much cheese can cause paranoia.

[Revelator]

There is absolutely no amount of cheese in Sirens greater than the cheese spewed by BoB's keyboard on Future Days at Wrigley.

you are having fun today it seems

I hope SBM will sound like this.

I love how the keyboard is totally wrong on the last bar.

Was that trying to be a compliment?

Whoops.

[AllNiteThing]

I hope we get a vignette of BO'B playing the keyboard part in this on a casio while being chased down the traintracks.

Was that trying to be a compliment?

Yeah, I tried. Basically I feel Sirens is far more interesting than Future Days, for lack of a better word. That, and I still can't stand the version of FD at Wrigley.

No I mean I totally love it. Made me laugh my ass off.

It...was totally intended!

It's horrible. I think there's a nice song underneath and the studio version will hopefully show it off, but playing it live at Wrigley with BO'B was one of the worst decisions this band has ever made. Except for maybe re-hiring BO'B in the first place.

I'm holding out hope for the album version. Trying to remain somewhat optimistic about SBM, too, even though it's inclusion still mystifies me.

I love folky stuff and I love the song, so I have some hope -- even if it's sanitised folk like Mumford.
