Song of the Moment: Lightning Bolt

[davluvsbeer]

This song has taken some time to like, but every time I hear it I like it more. I was genuinely worried after hearing the Wrigley performance, but it's really growing on me. I hope it ages well.

This song is good.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

This song is good.

Im getting to that point

I always loved parts of it (the last verse - the outro), but now I like all of it. There are parts I don't like as much but that's OK.

I was the same way, i think i ranked it as my #11 on the album the other day, but it has just started clicking

This song came off really well live last night. Hope you guys get a chance to hear it in person sometime.

I'd like to see these songs if they tour them in the UK.

Yeah, you will. It'd be more surprising to not see it on a setlist this tour.

[Yellow Ledbetter]

Love the song, but I really do not like the way it is played live, usually I love too, but this live version didn't grown on me.

I mean, the whole "crescendo" of the music is dropped when the song already starts with the cymbals, and the guitar does not start as quickly as it does on the album version.

[stip]

this loses some of the atmosphere live, and the tremendous build in the song is diminished a bit live where everything is faster, and the crowd doesn't know the new stuff quite as well yet. But the ending solo is fantastic.

[stip]

I thought it was quite good live though, even if not as good as the studio, and this will probably earn its place as a long term setlist keeper

Yep, it did

[Lounge Lizard]

The crowd was clearly unfamiliar with the new stuff: LB, Infallible, Pendulum, YM - but the reception was very good. I noticed that. Some were even bobbing their heads without singing along for not knowing the words

Agreed!

This one is the grower of the album for me, so far.

The vocal on this annoys the crap out of me.

[Lament]

Same here. The music is up there with some of my all-time favorite things this band has done, but the vocal drags it down to the point that I don't go out of my way to listen to it.

What bit do you have trouble with, that creepy uncle first verse?
