Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[fishbob]

So judging by this album, Jeff should really be in charge of shit on the PJ front

Something we can all agree on, I think.

All his songs are the best, even the ones he didn't write he contributes to in a major way (recently revealed he pretty much wrote the vocal melody to Getaway via his kick ass bassline)

[Thejambi]

I feel pretty confident in my Yellow Moon lyrics but i can not for the life of me hear the last line before the first chorus.

Moon changing shape and shade
As we all do under its gaze

[ABNorman]

Keep on truckin', One-effed Jefrey. A few more songs and I'll finally be able to jam this album.

Sadly, I have to leave for work in a few minutes.

I remember in that interview he seemed to be the one most fired up and passionate about carrying on the record. Looks like he maybe took the reins. Good on him.

Sweet F@#$ the flac version sounds amazing.

Im in

I feel like giving him a huge fuckin high five

I don't have the album (waiting on the vinyl). I was just comparing what we have with those tiny pictures at the pit. Hopefully someone else will continue the good fight.

MY FATHER'S SON
I come from a genius and I am my father's son
Too bad he was a psychopath
And now I'm the next in line

Then there's dear mother, yea Shirley
She's a work of art
I never got top dollar, but she gave us all a start

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowning me
Can I beg a release?
I'm a volunteer amputee

From the moment i fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
Got me tooth and nail

Yeh How's about one conversation
With nothing else left to be had?
With this your young long lost son
And his never had dear old dad

Forget the insemination
And for that I'm supposed to be glad?
What a pity you left us so soon
To climb your mountain of regret

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool dark and deep
Can I beg a release?
Can I volunteer amputee

From the moment I fail
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
Gotta set sail

All the bright lights shining
As you're trying to breathe in thin air
Cannot forget you're hiding
Collected wounds left unhealed

When every thought you're thinking
Sinks you darker than the new moon sky
The far away lights rising
In the whites of your eyes

Now Father you're dead and gone
And I'm finally free to be me.
Thanks for all your fucked-up gifts
For which I got no sympathy

Now I'm living in a war torn place
Hear the bombs, a 5th syphmony
Thanks for this and thanks for that
Gotta let go legacy

Can I get a reprieve?
This gene pool drowning me
Can I beg a release?
Can I volunteer amputee

From the moment I fail,
I call on DNA
Why such betrayal?
I gotta set sail

Its 'shirley', not 'surely'? Huh.

[Biff Pocoroba]

I do like the band members' silouettes but otherwise I'm indifferent to the artwork. Not really a complaint though; I'd rather be neutral than dislike it.

My grandmother's name was Shirley

[Noonie]

[stupidmop]

There was a ' dont call me shirley' joke in there somewhere, but I lack the skillz to pull it off.

Edit: there you are lol

[harmless]

If "Shirley" is in the text, there's a chance it's an in-joke because the actual lyric is "surely". They've done that before.

[Noonie]

You are you are a furry thing

[Jaeti]

"Wendy", at least I didn't use anything about your identity to attack you, like you've used my wheelchair here.

You're a pansy with no sense of humor. Get over yourself.

In this case, no I won't. I'm getting bored of wheelchair jokes, especially coming from you, where there's no friendship involved. Just because you want to feel like you've made a funny, it doesn't mean I have to accept your patronisation.

I don't give a fuck what you think. GET A LIFE.

Cool internet muscles.

Recent bonus point for Infallible. It was playing and I told my wife she might like this one because it has a catchy chorus...she responded - "Well..it might be catchy for Pearl Jam, but that doesn't sound very catchy to me."

Instant point in the grading system. What was a 3 has become a 4!

[melonhead4]

anyone else getting that kick a$$ halloween tshirt?

[hbk]

I assume the song with two basses is My Father's Son...but in the crappy iTunes stream I couldn't really tell that there were two basses there. Is it possible that they just double tracked the bass (one bass track on the left stereo channel, the other on the right) like they would guitars...or something else.

Also, in the first teaser video they released we saw Jeff with his 12-string bass, where is it on the album?


I can't get Infallible out of my head.

Listening to and thinking about Pendulum, I've decided that next weekend I want to hear a show begin Pendulum => Hard to Imagine => Corduroy.
