Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[McParadigm]

Yellow Moon is pretty fucking cool...

There was a real lack of a melody I thought. It was alright.

I liked the dark atmosphere, almost smoldering. I think it's gonna be killer live.

Yellow Moon is a highlight. The attempts to stick rock solos into it are pretty out of place, but otherwise it's one of the more interesting moments on the record.

[LetMeSleep]

Pendulum needs another minute at the end to cruise.

[mastaflatch]

aaargh it won't work here, stupid-stupid itunes

[harmless]

Before I heard Infallible, I told myself to be prepared for the "PJ can't write a chorus anymore" effect. And I was. And I'm glad I was, because the chorus... yeah. BUT I think there's enough I like about the song that it'll grow on me, and generally it's that Riot Act Matt groove and Ed's delivery. I'm getting big autotune vibes, that's freaking me out a bit.

[Blenheim Augustine]

Mind Your Manners is really strong. Sounds like STBC.

[thelurkertoo]

Any PM of a download will receive a hearty cyber high-five. (vinyl pre-ordered ;>)

[Jorge]

The percussion in "Pendulum" kind of makes it sound like "Siamese Twins" or "The Figurehead" by The Cure.

I was thinking early-era Dokken.

[Juvenal]

MFS is fucking bonkers

[Iowaska_Experience]

Oh well, at least I get to listen to MFS again. Couldn't wrap my mind around it the first time. Very..umm..wordy.

[stip]

you can't ask for leaks on the board, please

[Rangi Guy]

Fuck - I don't even mind Future Days. This album is much better than I was expecting.
Absolutely loving Pendulum and Yellow Moon

[Blenheim Augustine]

MFS is fucking bonkers

Yeah I'm going to need a few listens to decipher that. Something about a reprieve.

[Django Butterworth]

TETAS.

[Dugg]

"Infallible" is a pretty big letdown in terms of how sexy it sounded in that little vignette. The chorus is a total "Marker" move.

Why is that bad?

Because I don't like "Marker".

I love the Marker chorus and really like infallible after one listen. Future Days is much better than the live version.

[Jorge]

Well, and then the guitars come in. Nevermind.

I like what I hear.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

[Iowaska_Experience]

Stip - can this really be considered a leak still?

[McParadigm]

I'm getting big autotune vibes, that's freaking me out a bit.

Not hearing it.

But, as a reminder, while autotune is almost certainly a presence on this record the people who work with autotune have gotten incredibly good over the years. If they don't want you to hear it, rest assured, you won't.

I'm a bit pissed so I felt like it was beating me round the head

[Hypnos]

Yeah, don´t work for me. Fucking itunes.
