Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[harmless]

Shame. Though to be fair to them we weren't supposed to have heard getaway get

True.

you guys are dicks, peaking at the gifts before they give them to you

Personally I would be a lot more patient if they hadn't set me up to be poised for more disappointment with every recent album release. I'm just really glad to be liking what I'm hearing.

oh, so its their fault then?

What, me listening to the leaks? No. But a lot of the expectations falling? Yes, it's partly their fault.

the whole 3 months thing didnt help, that first month or more with no news at all brutal

Yeah I feel as if they should've begun the roll-out two months away rather than three.

[McParadigm]

Obviously we have never met

I feel like a magic trick should have followed this

I performed one here, not fully aware you all couldn't see it.

Like my two year old when he's showing people on the phone what he's holding...

You're saying you don't enjoy seeing people shit on music you haven't heard yet?

not so much that, im used to people hating songs that i like, but i just dont want to know everything about the song before ive heard it.

Its been over an hour without a post in here, the end of the world must be close at hand!

Just 1 and thats it!

[harmless]

Has this leaked yet?

definitely a rare occurrence

[guitar_davey]

Dave A. never fucked up what is meant to be an official single video, though. From a drummer's perspective it's kind of embarrassing that that will be people's first exposure to the song. I love the song and the rest of the video but wow, the intro...

I actually still don't know where Matt's mistake is.

That makes two of us!

Third. I'm a musician too. I haven't compared the studio and video versions really, but I have watched the video and made a point of listening to Matt's drumming in the intro. Sounds bang on to me.

Guitarist?

Yeah, I am, but I mean, I'm usually pretty attuned to the rhythmic side of things. Is the "flub," a fill that isn't in the video version?

Yes, the video version. It's both of Matt's first two tom fills, before the rest of the band comes in. They're quite obviously late and out of time. But I'm not going to fight the issue. I notice it, others don't, it's fine.

[guitar_davey]

Other than Talking at the Same Time and Get Lost, I'd say every song on that record is okay. But Pay Me and the b-side Tell Me are the only two that actually impacted me in any way.

The title track I really hated at first, but I came to a point with it where....eh....it's kinda fun.

Easily the least remarkable Tom Waits album since the 70's.

Anybody who isn't blown away by Hell Broke Luce makes me sad, but ok.

Agreed. There is a song that made me FEEL so many things--frightening, catchy, and thought provoking, all at the same time. Love it!

Every Tom Waits video I've played on youtube has been crap, in m opinion. I don't get the reason why he's so good. Some musical parts of one of the songs was ok, but his voice destroys anything good about these.

Sorry.

No need to be sorry - everybody's different. Even if THEY'RE COMPLETELY WRONG.

Ahem.
