Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Thejambi]

So, has this thing leaked yet?

YES

Take it to the Pit. No, it is never going to leak.

[jtr101]

I will say however that i do like the solo/jam possibilities at the end of LTRP.

So, has this thing leaked yet?

YES

[Thejambi]

What the fuck is a Jabber address?

[stip]

LTRP is significantly better (I think) than Big Wave and Supersonic--the two tracks it makes the most sense to compare it to.

[Lostdog]

i think (and i hope) that Stone is using the Way Huge Green Rhino overdrive. His sound it is more aggressive in this record.

Totally. I'll take it for that reason alone.

[stupidmop]

I bet those who haven't heard the prior leak are jizzing themselves over that LTRP verse. Alas, the chorus is going to shit on its fist and punch you in the face.

It's like a rick roll but real and therefore that little bit more more painful.

that chorus is good. Leave it alone. It's like an alcoholic with nothing to live for deciding 'fuck it, I'm gonna dance anyway'

And the song is going 'yeah go for it! Everybody join in!' Instead of 'Bro this probably isn't a good idea, i mean you're gonna feel awful in the morning, maybe you should get some he- did you just hurl all over my shoes?"

Which is what it was going for yes, but why does it have to sound so chee-zay in the process?

It sounds as cheesy as glam rock normally sounds.

It's a glam rock song? Without any glam? Unless mikes gonna dress up Shadow stylee.

Even so i don't know why cheesy glam rock is a style they're going for in any capacity.

It's not even dirty glam rock. Wheres the glitter, sweat and coke huh?The party this dudes having sounds lame as fuck.

I know, i know, not what they're going for, I dunno, i guess i just don't get the song. No matter.

This is one for the 'best of'

I'm going to order the 10C Lightning Bolt CD and download today.

Do I choose Apple Lossless? I just want something that will go into iTunes easily, and I figure I'm getting the CD for my car anyway, so I'll have good sound there.

Next to flac, is Apple Lossless the next best choice?

Chud?

Why choose? I think I will just download all formats

Marc Bolan and T.Rex glam rather than Shadow / Stryper glam. Sixties / seventies. Yeah, the clothes and glitter would be cool, and this is just a dipping of the toes into a genre so it could've been better, but I think it's more "Ride a White Swan" than deep and dirty blues.

Yup. It's achieving exactly what it wants.

Invading my inner sanctum like a voracious ear worm and getting on my tits?

precisely. BoB says exactly that in the dutch interview we're waiting for Mirella to translate

I can not guarantee I will make it tonight, but I won't forget. So don't wait. The plants are planted .

Big wave is better than LTRP. By a lot.

[Strat]

Big wave is better than LTRP. By a lot.

x a million and a half.

[ABNorman]

Big wave is better than LTRP. By a lot.

x a million and a half.

Though I've only listened to LTRP once.

[wilkins]

Quite a bit of footage/pics over the last few years of Eddie's new ("fixer"-up-er) hang out house on water. Interesting to see him so less private and sheltered.

[harmless]

I think LTRP is better than BW for making less of a statement. BW makes an embarrassing statement in a very unforgettable way. LTRP says something slightly less embarrassing (some dude (God?) gets drunk at the end of the world) and in quite a forgettable, plain way.

Hahahaha yeah the main riff is rather catchy and then Shania comes in and takes over.

My mind sings a part of Green Disease there. ("I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say")

Why does it make sense to compare it to "Big Wave"?

And I don't think it's better than "Big Wave". Probably better than "Supersonic".

[Mirella]

I still like Big Wave more as well, but why does any song have to be 'better' than any other song?
