It was OK but I was expecting more. I guess there is more, and I think we'll be getting that over the next few weeks.gems and rhinestones wrote:That was a waste of time really.

I get it was a teaser type thing but honestly I got as much out of the press photos for the album as I did this.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
It's the same with other 'minorities', in many ways. On Dutch TV, most talkshow guests are still male, and then when it's females, either the host is sexist, or they are not really asked for their expertise but just for being famous or good looking. There are programs showing all kinds of people in a normal way, but it should have been much more 'normal' in 2013, I think.harmless wrote:OK, yeah, and I'm sorry if my reply seemed rude. It's just, you know, watch for how often disabled people are employed to interview famous bands (or anyone) on your TV screens. It's unfortunately a rarity. And if they are on TV, you can usually guarantee that a lot of attention will be paid to their disability. Not here, which I thought was good.

Yeah back then we got gems like thisharmless wrote:I don't believe that, they had a lot of obvious fun. It just wasn't cringe-worthy to watch.ABNorman wrote:But that's only because they were ever so fearful of seeming to have fun back in those days.harmless wrote:I haven't seen it but I can imagine. It's just another example of the dumbing down. They wouldn't have done that in an EPK for any album between No Code and Riot Act.stupidmop wrote:You ever see the iconoclasts episode with ed in? Entire thing is unintentionally hilarious. There's a bit with ed and the dude listening to big wave I think in the car.harmless wrote:I don't think I ever said I wasn't excited about the new record. I can't wait. I just had a temporary "dancing dad" feeling about this bit. I'm not actually insulting Ed, more the whole concept of the "rocking out in the car" scene. It was a directorial choice I didn't like much. Ed doesn't need defending from this.guitar_davey wrote:evenslow wrote:Yeah this statement is unnecessarily killjoy.harmless wrote:The bit where they're "head-banging" to Getaway in the car was pretty bad. I'd understand if it was something like Blood, but come on.
Thank you somebody for saying this. The guy is excited about a new record and he gets nitpicked for it on here. Fucking unreal.

The acoustic music at the very start isn't 'Sirens', guys.

The chorus sounds like it. Either it is Sirens, or Yellow Moon sounds far too similar.sward wrote:I think you were right the first time..doesn't sound like it to me.harmless wrote:Oh wait, maybe it is, it just sounded different at the start.

I hope I've been clear about my cautious optimism for the album.
