Infallible is awful and its more awful because it could have been a good song.

I think I agreeThurman Murman wrote:For the longest time i kind of lumped it in with Backspacer as by far the bands two worst albums....then i gave these two my first back to back listen in years prior to Gigaton and i just thought Backspacer was significantly more enjoyable...still the bands two worst albums, but ever since then Lightning Bolt has been on its own as the bands studio album low point.guitar_davey wrote:I liked this when it came out, but I think I was mostly in denial about how meh it was. It's by far their worst album in my opinion -- the production is really uninteresting and lifeless and some of it is kinda corny.

I hate that part at the start of the title track when he says that lady cums on Mike and Stone. Gross, creep!

Re: Lightning Bolt: the official album thread
The new DeEP magazine has a typo in the culinary section.
It says to "rinse of the potatoes"
Also, who is Josh Yoakam? I've been receiving his/your goods for about 2 years now.
Thanks

Re: Lightning Bolt: the official album thread
Yeah I had a similar experience when I relistened to them recently. Side 2 of LB is just ghastly, Yellow Moon aside. And actually I found Backspacer to be a much better album than I remembered. Though still clearly their second worst album by miles.Thurman Murman wrote:For the longest time i kind of lumped it in with Backspacer as by far the bands two worst albums....then i gave these two my first back to back listen in years prior to Gigaton and i just thought Backspacer was significantly more enjoyable...still the bands two worst albums, but ever since then Lightning Bolt has been on its own as the bands studio album low point.guitar_davey wrote:I liked this when it came out, but I think I was mostly in denial about how meh it was.

Someday Lightning Bolt will get the love it deserves. Probably not here. Probably not from you. But someday. I hope I live to see it.

If they re record it with another producer, rework half of the songs and leave future days out of it, well yeah!

They need to release more albums so the turds diminish.
