Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Juvenal]

Age is just a number. Tits are always fantastic.

[Birds in Hell]

Man, I was so happy to leave my 20s behind.

[Thejambi]

My wife does have great tits.

[Jaeti]

Isn't 30 the new 25 or something?

I sure hope so.

[Juvenal]

Nice deletion, sir

[sward]

My wife does have great tits.

The only caveat is the older you get the easier it is to have nicer tits than your wife. Metabolism and all

Eat well and prosper!

[Jaeti]

I sure hope so.

Or, really, I hope 32 is the new 25.

thats pretty damn true

[Birds in Hell]

Nice deletion, sir

Yeah, on reflection, RM really isn't a terribly suitable place for me to discuss my wife's tits.

"sad motor boat"

[ABNorman]

Thejambi's 30th is a real return to form. I feel like he lost his way for a few years after a classic 21st and 22nd. His 30th is a logical extension of his 29th, but there's a real possibility it could turn into something great.

[ABNorman]

I, for one, refuse to believe you have wives until I see a picture of said boobies.

True story: between following this thread and all the Pearl Jam I have been listening to in preparation for this album, I had to listen to Phil Collins and Genesis last night just to get something totally different...on a related note, Sirens is not all that cheesy.

i dont think sirens is cheesy at all

[harmless]

Sirens is beginning to feel more and more just like a PJ ballad. But it's also a rock song, so people were like "huh"? It is really like they applied the overt drama (or melodrama) of the Ten-era stuff to their more modern-day "pretty" songwriting aesthetics. So you get comments like "there are no balls", and it's true, there aren't, even though the song is still definitely made of typical Pearl Jam ingredients.

[Revelator]

Yeah I have to admit that I'm even digging the guitar solo in Sirens now, too. It really does fit the song well. The lyrics and especially Ed's delivery have really made the song special, though.

[enimmi]

This will leak today.

It would but they shut it down.

[harmless]

I also think "Sirens" is the first song we've had for ages in which I like the vast majority of what BoB is doing on the piano. I also think the twelve-string sounds ace, accompanied by that reverby siren-like electric guitar. Musically it's pretty basic but that doesn't make it a bad song. The music sits back and is unassuming to make space for the lyrics. I think the music for a song like "The Drugs Don't Work" is comparable to this song, where it's pretty damn unremarkable and plain, but everything comes together to make it the classic song it became.

[ABNorman]

Is anyone else really bothered by TSIS's front page "Let's" instead of "Lets"?
