Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

Where's the O BRRRRRRIIIIIIEEEEN gif now?

[evenslow]

Well, that was interesting. Look forward to revisiting this when it's out. "My Father's Son", "Pendulum" and "Swallowed Whole" are pretty cool.

You can just get rid of FD, knowing this album was originally meant to be 11 tracks.

I don't mind FD at all, but wow, two thirds through it becomes too big. And I really don't see the point of *ending* the guitar part, leaving a gap, and then the piano starting... I thought that was stupid at Wrigley. People had started clapping and then BoB...

It's much better than Wrigley but I still don't know how much I'll end up liking it.

It feels like the album is going into a great new territory up to SWhole and then it just farts about. Yellow Moon is promising but 3 clunkers in the last 4 isn't good. Maybe Of The Earth was needed. Can't tell just yet.

after 2 full listens all the way through... i'd have to say 7/10

which easily puts it ahead of Backspacer and Riot Act, not quite ahead of the S/T yet for me however, we shall see.

SW is fucking brilliant.

[Blenheim Augustine]

LTRP is a hot mess - If I want to listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan I'll dig it out. I'd put supersonic ahead of it at the moment for the sole reason that Supersonic has that ridiculous riff in the middle of it.

Now I can go back and listen to the Wrigley LB songs. I like both of them on the album so far. I was surprised that FD wasn't nearly as wretched as I had imagined.

I think My Father's Son sounds quite Binaural-ish, bits of God's Dice in there.

[HardTI]

I don't know if hearing 2/3 of the album is causing this or what, but the sequencing is really odd to me. It's just all over the place.

[harmless]

I refuse to download itunes so I haven't heard it yet, but I'm pissed off that the dog thread is locked.

I rise like the phoenix from the ashes!

[Walker Bait]

I actually think sleeping by myself sounds great and um....Yellow Moon...just gave me a soul boner.

Stip will love this comment

Very much so! That was the 2nd thing that came to mind (after thinking it was a Soundgarden song from DOTUS).

Yeah as per usual they struggle with the second half.

Same here! I heard a lot of SG.

Im only up to sirens so far, so this is premature, but im gonna say at the very least they should have swapped sirens and ltrp. You know, if they were insisting on keeping them

I usually like that. Gives me a great starting place for when I go to bed with headphones on.

More listens will be needed. It's kind of like smoothing out a sheet; the songs we've heard are the wrinkles.
