This may be the only post we need to save when we commemorate the Lightning Bolt era. Reading this was a beautiful moment for me.
Happy to oblige. :thumbsup:

I feel like we've all been witnesses to this happening over the past few months. I am inspired.

Yeah but it's been a pretty gruelling one-man show. I feel like I'll need an ensemble for the next album.

You have become a target out of fear. Your transformation has given us a path to enlightenment. Some are frightened by that. Don't let the foolishness of others dim your inner light.

I can see how a sudden renewed interest, to the extent that I've experienced it, might be confusing and somewhat difficult to accept in the RM culture. I will try to rein it in, calm it down, wind my neck in etc.

I didn't listen to if for a week, went back to it, and I still like it. I'm not sure if this will ever be top tier for me, but after a few weeks, it's a tune I'm enjoying listening to.

It's so full of crazily different styles, it might end up working. I haven't decided yet.

i tend to prefer albums that flow well and sound like they're from the same sessions, but sometimes "jukebox" albums work too.

I definitely don't hate it, even if its eclecticness raises a smirk every now and then. It's what I always said they should do if they wanted to work with BoB. Do a crazy bunch of genre experiments, "something for everyone".
