Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[96583UP]

OH i guess they do pendelum but holy hell that opener needs to go

pendulum so boring

like being straight and married and tired

[igotworms]

there was a period of time where i fell in love with Sirens, where it was OK to like Sirens

it was like exploring being gay

it was OK, it felt good, it was OK to try

That one version from their "live" video was really great.

These guys haven't touched songs from this album in years other than MYM

Yeah the video version was miles better than the album version. Just goes to show the impact of BoB's LB production!

There are some real stinkers on the second side of this album. Sleeping By Myself and Future Days... I can't even find words to describe them but emotionally I remember it being the first time I actually felt embarrassed by some of their output.

[Lounge Lizard]

jesus christ, all those poor people.

[VinylGuy]

man this thread reminded me that Future Days is listed as a Pearl Jam song.

[stip]

future days is a lovely autumnal love song with a shitty piano intro

[VinylGuy]

Everything is shitty about that version; mostly because it lacks PJ.

I prefer that solo Eddie version to what they did on LB

i listened to Lightning Bolt twice this weekend and had a grand old time.

Mind your manner - sirens - lightning bolt

and

Sleeping by myself - yellow moon - future days are my two favorite stretches

Infallible is the song i most wish they’d revisit

[Leatherhead]

Infallible is the worst song on here.

[Birds in Hell]

Sleeping By Myself must be the band's absolute nadir (so far).

It's like all taste went out the window on this album.

[96583UP]

this album has a lot of estrogen

Whither My Father's Son?

[Matters]

Lightning Bolt ranks last.

[dad]

It should be banished to an island and never heard from again.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Strat]

i actualyl think Sleeping By Myself is a top tier song for this album. Everything else is "been there, done that" and them doing SBM.....feels like a unique offering.

Yall can fuck off.

[96583UP]

My Father's Son gets too much credit

it's bc the rest of the album is so terrible, it is more palatable

it sounds like ass

[Thurman Murman]

This is the bands worst album...by a significant margin.

[Ms Harmless]

My Father's Son gets too much credit

can I volunteer amputee
