Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[chewm]

Im really enjoying this album, Infallible, Pendulum and Yellow Moon are my favorites after first listen.
The Infallible chorus wasnt what i was expecting but after reading the comments about it I prepared myself for something less darky and I think its pretty good.

How often do you regret having a Stickman tattoo, chud?

[stip]

You guys seriously think this is a "strong" album with "strong" songs? I've never heard a bigger pile of MEH in my life.

yup. I had really come to like the first 6 songs we heard, and except for future days this was a very strong (probably stronger) addition to what we already had.

This is how I know I'm going to hate it.

look, KD, Burt Reynolds, and McParadigm, for the most part, had good things to say about the second crop of songs. So enough stars have aligned for at least some of these songs to be good,

Not really ever, to be honest with you.

Do we know if chud has heard this yet?

When did Burt Reynolds get credibility here?

[LooseGroove927]

Can't decide if Infallible or Yellow Moon are the best, but Yellow Moon may very well be their strongest slow song in a long long time

I'd agree with you if Pendulum weren't on this record.

[Norah]

I have not. Waiting til this baseball game is over.

He makes a good point though.

[Strat]

I love Matt Cameron in this band so much.

He sounds great on this record. Feel as though its finally fully meshed

[@SkitchP]

Im listening this totally out of order. I like pendulum best thus far i think.

Playing catchup on 40 pages of posts. Has anyone already retracked this to include Cold Confession instead of Future Days or something similar?

As far as I'm concerned he was THE troll mvp of the build. That's gotta count for something.

we did get a retrack Lightning Bolt thread in record time.

[McParadigm]

There are highlights, and three of stips favored tracks are the worst things on here. Nothing unusual there.

My phone always corrects stips to stupid.

What was he doing? I skim over a lot of posts.

Smartphone.

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

Almost every song sounds like a bad re-write of an earlier, better Pearl Jam song. Even the "quirky" stuff doesn't hold a candle to past attempts in that vein. Not that they should always top themselves, but shit, at least do *something* creative.
