Both of these were my favorites on Backspacer at the start, though they've since fallen off. I'd say Got Some has fallen off less, though, so I'll go with that.

Got Some all the way
This is a good way of describing UK!

And agree easily Got Some here.
You guys don't think Lightning Bolt sounds even more forced?
I'd agree Lightning Bolt has a discernible contrived quality to it, but not to the degree of tanking the song for me like Unthought Known.
I enjoy live recordings of LB. It's in rotation.
Maybe part of it's that Lightning Bolt soars and Unthought Known is trying to be grandiose? Not sure how accurate that is without going back and listening to them again...

Lightning Bolt feels crafted in a way that unthought known doesn't, but no less then a song like LBC. The production, like all of lighting bolt, feels calculated in a way that is not flattering to what is a very solid collection of raw songs
