Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[aurynsdad]

there's a lot of ridiculous generalizing going on in this thread that is not really borne out by reality.

Just because you're on a high horse of Pearl Jam suckitude that constitutes kool-aid drinking on this forum does not mean I'm some kind of naive noob who doesn't get it.

Wow. Who gets mad at bodysnatcher?

[aurynsdad]

Got room for you too, punk

[Lament]

Getting mad at me would be a lot more understandable. I don't think I've ever seen anyone get mad at him before though.

I low standards

I think I signed up at the point where enough other people were posting those that I couldn't tell if it was started by him cause of his icon or if his icon was because of an elaborate inside joke that he may or may not have started.

I just find it lame that a bunch of people who have burnt out on a band insist on populating one of its fan sites to express their cool anti-fan cleverness and receive validation from each other that they are awesome and correct for not liking the band anymore.

[McParadigm]

He called me cool

[Lament]

It's possible to not like the current material or live state of the band and not be burned out on them. Some people just don't think they're very good anymore. Some of us still actively enjoy a large chunk of the band's back catalog (studio and live) and like discussing/debating them and making fun of each other.

The only reason it's lame is because being on a band's fan site for ANY reason after the age of sixteen is lame. It's not like creating an echo chamber of praise is some great noble cause compared to an echo chamber of criticism.

There's no way to be knowing
Which way that we are going
The low points keep on lowing
And our ages keep on showing
Still the rowers keep on rowing
And the singer keeps on eeuuueuehh

It's no different than Black if you think about it.

I draw a direct line to Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, personally.

Is Sirens really all that far removed from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony?
