Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[Blenheim Augustine]

Ed's on the new RNDM album is my guess

Genius. That would be awesome.

[slugox]

Favorites of the unleaked/new tracks: MFS, Pendulum, Yellow Moon.

Overall, I'm really impressed.

[Juvenal]

well RM, I think this is a pretty great little record. Not their best, but something i strongly suspect will end up settling in the upper middle of the pack.

I look forward to putting the rotten kids to bed and being able to really listen


Back later.

I think upper middle too. Although initial reactions can be way off...

[Mike]

MFS is fantastic on first listen and I totally get the comparisons to 90s Pearl Jam. Sirens sounds strange after it. Is the single version of Sirens produced differently or am I hearing things?

[PJMosquito]

Like most of what I heard, but is this the least coherent PJ album ever? The songs don't seem to belong together.

And - LTRP WTF? Shitstorm.

I was just thinking that...Pendulum into Swallowed Whole into Let The Records Play is kind of a mess. On first listen at least, which may not be fair.

Oh, man. I dunno. I kinda needed Swallowed Whole after Pendulum. I thought it worked well.

Very early but lower middle for me. Still i'll take that!

'Twas a "live" recording

I believe the video version is live recording dealio.

Oh, I knew that. I meant the download version but I bet I'm just hearing things. The guitars sounded crunchier right now.

I think LTRP is just making my brain hurt.

Hopefully i'll have a full rip of this for tomorrow

I'm ripping it as we speak. Should have it up within the hour.

[Mike]

Lightning Bolt is still good and now even a little better in non-shitty quality.

You'd be my hero. Won't be around a computer with iTunes until very late this evening.

[hlniv]

Can you skip ahead on this stream? I had to pause, and it restarted... Can't figure out how to skip ahead. I guess maybe not, since it is a "stream" and all....

[Coach]

"Let the Records Play" is really bad.

I like the verses but it's that chorus...

LTRP sounds even worse now, as it's among better songs. This should have been killed. Silly.

I'm not your hero but that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave.

I've been jumping all over the place. And skipping tracks.

[Strat]

Yellow Moon definitely sounded much better on second listen.

Im also getting over the chorus for INfallible. I wanted it to be something else but im getting used to it and it is now becoming a better song. I think the verse is still the magic in the song though...
