Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[harmless]

I can understand that, even if it's not my feeling. It's going to be divisive. I love the over-long immersiveness of it. It combines the catchiness of Arcade Fire / electro / disco with the sweep of epic post-rock.

It's like the KNEW i was just waiting for an album that finally combines electro/disco with the sweep of epic post-rock!

Future days has fallen off for me. Completely.

Guess you have to be in the mood for it

I tend to like it when I'm drunk.

Anyone know where I can find accurate worldwide sales figures for PJ records?
Wiki is no help.

This is my favorite transition of the album and what is tying everything together for me. Super dark morbid song about the scariness of death and then worldly optimism and overcoming death. This was no accident. Like a rejuvenation from the scare of death. Anyone else see that?

I do feel as if Pendulum finishes a generally sombre portion of the album, and then SW begins another brighter one.

[evenslow]

Yeah it's a breath of fresh air.

after two weeks of listening to this on random in my car, I am really close to a fantastic retracking

Hopefully this will all be worth it

Worth itt? It's a good album and a great tour. The rest is just noise. Enjoy it while you can.

Here it is. Everyone listen to this:

1. Mind Your Manners
2, Getaway
3. My Father's son
4. Swallowed Whole
5. Infallible
6. Yellow Moon
7. Pendulum
8. Let the Records Play
9. Sleeping By Myself
10. Lightning Bolt
11. Sirens
12. Future Days


8 and 9 are interchangeable. I really can't decide which I like better. Thematically it works slightly better this way so I went with it.

In my case, he doesn't

great sig here for anyone that wants it.

I still don't love Pendulum. I should though. It's dark and moody, but there's nothing terribly interesting going on and like someone said (Stip, I think), Ed adds very little to this song. I like when his voice gets distorted at that 1 part and I like the ah ah ah ah ahhh part. Other than that I just can't connect with this song. FUCK.

The best part of the song is when Stone comes in with that acoustic guitar later in the song. That part is fantastic.
