Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[southp]

The thing that excites me about Of The Earth is the style of the song rather than the song itself. I'd like Pearl Jam to sound like that but the song is only nice.

The Song is Only Nice: A Pearl Jam Anthology (2006-2012)

The songs are slightly nicer: A Pearl Jam Anthology Part II (2013- )

FTFY

I get that...OTE and Pendulum is the direction I would like to steer this band towards. If only I could quantum leap into BOB's body and put some fixin' on things.

However I think BoB has a lot to do with how Pendulum sounds.

He has *nothing* to do with how Pendulum sounds. Jeff and another sound engineer recorded it.

I think there´s not even a recorded version of Of the Earth, according to that italian site anyway.

4 listenable songs = Getaway, Lightening Bolt, Infallible, Pendulum.

All the rest is lame.

Whole album easily forgettable.

[NothingBetterMan]

After 10 plus spins...

Great
Pendulum
Getaway
My Father's Son
Swallowed Whole

Good
Infallable
Yellow Moon
Mind Your Manners
Sirens
Lightning Bolt

Mehhhh-akes me wish Cold Confession was included
SBM
LTRP
FD

That said, I don't own a car since I live in NYC so I may never be able to give it the sacred car test.

[Tuolumne]

Swallowed Whole is the biggest wildcard for me. That one perplexed me on early listens, but I knew there was something intriguing even when I heard the bridge on the first couple of listens. Now, the lyrics are starting the make an impact. I don't tend to pick up the case and read lyrics, they gotta sort of naturally get into me. But it's started to make a dent.

Give it time given. If you like Infallible, you should be able to get down with a few more songs over the next week or so.

Wow, I didn't even include the title track in my ranking. I think that guarantees a place in the "meh" category. That song doesn't really do it for me. Some compare it to Unthought Known, which I don't really see at all other than the new wave aspects. UK was a highlight of BS and one of the better tracks of the last decade for me.

[jimmy mac]

I think Yellow Moon has moved in to my #1 slot. Sounds like a cousin of 1/2 Full (which I said way back in this threat would be a perfect closer for this album in place of Future Days).

im not gonna be able to unhear that now

Unthought Known gets a lot of hate around here. That and The End are my personal favorite songs on BS.

That extended break sounds like something off TEN
