Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[harmless]

This song ain't emotionally light.

[stip]

Kaplan'd!

I didn't want this to go unappreciated.

[Porn_Break]

Yeah, this thing catches you off guard. Watched the video a few times. If I didn't know it was them at the start I wouldn't have been sure what the hell I was listening to. Not cheesy but definitely more dramatic than you'd expect. Overall, it's different and seems to work. Good stuff.

[stip]

I said this in the other thread, but that was a very good video. A much better performance, and since this song is playing against the power ballad template while still being a power ballad the only way to make this video was to have the band playing it by themselves, to themselves, on a dark quiet stage.

I fkn LOVE Sirens...........

[nightmareblack0206]

There!

I just voted for it

[Hypnos]

Despite the lack of Stoney in interviews and those short video clips...he's in this Sirens video almost as much as Eddie.

I think he´s embarrassed that he got a little fat, therefore the hiding.

[sward]

Well holy fuck Pearl Jam. Video got me the goosebumps and all! The live take of the video is insanely good. Any trepidation about how this would be live is out the window.

Biggest leap I ever made with a song. From first listen being shaky to being amongst my favorite songs from the last ten years at least. Wow,

Edit: I know its early to anoint it so. I get that. I don't care.

[Mirella]

So, have finally heard this song. Only one listen in, this could be an Adele song. And I fuckin love Adele. Gonna take lots more listens for it to sink in though.

[Mine]

I cannot fathom how a "let's make a video" live soundstage mix can sound so much better than the carefully crafted album mix.

I don't mean I'm surprised, I just mean....why would you do that?

another reason to be pissed at BoB, i suppose?

Yeah since is compressed more than it should be. I guess B'OB may even do mediocre mixes knowing it doesn't make much of a difference once it hits a brick wall.

I'm feeling a bit down. I think it's the song but I can't stop listening.

Edit: yep, just lost it.

I'm hearing Van Hager era Van Halen here.

I'm being manipulated. It's like I'm having my first gay sexual experience. There are tears and everything. Fucking hell.

I happen to think The Who is as bad as Robbie Williams so I'm fine about it.

"Whoooooo are you? Who who... who who?"

There are two Who songs I like: Baba O'Riley and My Generation. I like PJ doing the Who though.

I was looking for "Livin' Hell!!"

you are not yourself, Less, you should find your least favorite glass/mug/plate, throw it against a wall, count all the pieces, divide that by 6, and then drink that many shots.
