Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[---]

i think this probably better than backspacer. not sure how it stacks up to s/t. better than i expected, i think. can't say there's much here that makes me want to return to it, though.

You will never, ever, ever re-listen to it? Did we just witness....

Lightning in bottle? maybe?

can't say as i follow, powder prowler

[Jorge]

bird_to_trust is like a reverse VinylGuy

platypussy

Toucan play this game.

holy hell is future days awful

what about sirens?

it makes sense both were included on the record given ed's enthusiasm for abortions

Which do you find worse? I think its Sirens by just a bit, but Future Days is so so bad too...

please, don't make me think about either

Any reviewer worth his salt would give the album at least 3 spins.

[Birds in Hell]

For the record: Every McCready solo on the record is a low point in its respective song.

Nah, man. "Go".

This is actually the reason I find Porch kind of boring. It's just an excuse for a minute-long solo.

Earthless probably aren't your thing, huh:

i'm gonna skip to future days to weigh in, i sort of forget it from the itunes listen.

Are you guys forgetting the awfulness of Let The Records Play?

i've never claimed to be a reviewer, or worth any particular amount of salt

He is non existent to me on the record.

Must make note of my love of his work in yellow moon. It's controlled and extremely melodic. My favorite work since his I AM MINE solo.

[---]

I AM MINE solo.

this is exactly the kind of solo i can't stand

[stip]

Yeah, I've come to like the yellow moon solos

[harmless]

I AM MINE solo.

this is exactly the kind of solo i can't stand

I'm not a solo fan, but... All or None.

hm, ok i don't know how to pick the one i like less.

is the solo in getaway stone? it sounds like it.

[Okonkwo]

the lyrics are horrid on infallible

Seriously, they're nothing special at all
Only redeeming factor is the chorus lyrics changing up, I find that an interesting song-writing technique

The lyrics are mediocre on this one. Cliches abound (ship sinking, slipping through hands, all good things come to an end, hearts and minds). Mostly though I dislike the vocal delivery during the chorus. Too over-the-top. Vocally and lyrically, only the bookends work for me.

[fishbob]

I really like the MYM solo, does exactly what it sets out to do

[---]

getaway is enjoyable, still like it a good bit

[EJ]

I wasn't a fan a big fan of his solos on this album either. But he did pretty nice work on MYM and Swallowed Whole.

at least three songs have already achieved "must-skip" status: mind your manners, sirens, future days

[Strat]

sirens is so good. Its so bad but its so good.
