Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[warehouse]

Now I keep my fandom, such as it is, a secret.

I do this a lot.

It's easier that way.

I don't know if this is because of my age or because I live in germany but almost no one even knows Pearl Jam when I mention them.

thats terrible. most of the people i know wanna go to the shows in philly.

I work with a bunch of girls in their mid-twenties...they have no idea who Pearl Jam is

i met a few people who didnt know who pearl jam is. they were obviously terrible, terrible people.

OK so if you were going to tell someone to download only 3 songs from LB what would they be:

I'm going with Getaway, Sirens and Yellow Moon.

I narrowed it down to these 3 mainly because I hate the other 9 to varying degrees.

Getaway, Sirens, Pendulum.

If the goal is to represent the disparate nature of this album, then the Sirens/Pendulum juxtaposition is important.

I feel as if, when all is said and done, the prevailing message of latter-day "inspirational" Pearl Jam is that any one of us -- large, small, fat, thin, gay, straight, disabled or able-bodied -- could have risen from the ashes of Mother Love Bone.

Why'd you have to say able-bodied last? we're people too you know.

I guess you maybe don't register on my radar the same way I do.

[evenslow]

Oh, shit. I think I fucked up. I accidentally smoked the ashes of Mother Love Bone.

Would you guys mind holding off on rising from the ashes for a while?

[Lament]

No one goes. It's just Pearl Jam and an empty room.

I was the only one at Wuhlheide in 2010.

That must have gotten really awkward when you left to take a piss during Mike's Even Flow solo.

I stood knee deep in McCready's tears when I left the toilet. From then on I just let it go whenever and whereever I wanted.

Not to be insensitive, but that was probably more than just the tears of McCready you were knee deep in.

This is signature worthy.

i like a few days of the new songs, actually.

So do I. Saw them live as well.

So I finally got around to listening to the stream. Overall, I thought it was a solid record on first listen. My 3 faves were "Swallowed Whole", "Getaway" and "My Father's Son".

It's hard to imagine that question coming in without a very peanut buttery layer of sarcasm spread over the top, so I'd probably suggest that they grab Profound Circus, Wounds Left Unhealed, and Raargh.

I feel the need to take a shower even though it was 3 years ago.

RM is mostly comprised of Andy Wood's taint.

Correction: Anyone could have risen from the ashes of MLB—except for Andy Wood because he died.

Too soon?

[Mike]

I'd tell them to download My Father's Son, Infallible and Yellow Moon. Firstly because I think they're great and because they show the whole range of modern Pearl Jam. Well, a lot of the whole range.

More like "what's left of their range"

Am I right? Amiright?

You know, it's weird to actually know the toilets you are talking about

I'd say go with your gut on this one. Bring extra soap.
