Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

That's a winner.

So... As it turns out, I think Lightning Bolt is a stupid name for this album, but I'm not sure what I would call it. Any ideas?

As someone said months ago they should have called the album Of the Earth but still kept Of the Earth off of it. That would have been the integrity move.

The media never got you, McP.

You weren't kidding about the no sweatpants thing

Earthing Bolt.

Birthing Hole.

Birthing Hole.

Sounds a bit too much like Birds in Hell

They could do a Vitalogy-like book artwork thing, but have it be formatted like a kid's book because it's dad rock.

Anyone noticed the scene in Lord Of The Rings where Free The West Memphis Three was carved into a rock behind Sam?

Is that an aging half-hippy/half-punk punk I see surfing in the background of that image?

[Birds in Hell]

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.

I think it's this element:

this is me
singing low,
while the kick drum's kicking.
Grumble grumble,
mumble woah.
It's so sad and sick'nin'

NOW I'M SINGING
HIGHER UP
AND THE BASS HAS COME IN
ADD SOME ECHO
AND THEY'LL ASSUME
SOMETHING'S ACTUALLY HAPP'NIN'

Heh, I enjoyed this.

I actually kind of like the song but I'm more about the chorus and the other bits.

I hate the descriptor 'aging'. Everything is aging.

Except for high school girls. I get older, they stay the same age...

I assume "aging" is just gentle slang for "old enough to feel as pervy checking out college girls as you used to feel when you checked out high school girls....which you pretty much never do anymore."
