Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
The fade out on Lightning Bolt (the song) kills any positive momentum it might have had...

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
I just don't understand Stip --- as a lyrics guy and a guy who hates Ed's obvious and trite lyrical metaphors (especially the tree stuff) -- how you can appreciate LB (the song) at all. It's his absolute worst "surf" song to date. Fine there's the anthem build to the music or whatever. But is that really enough? Their go-to trick? That works on you again here? Really?

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
That song is so good. I love the tempo shifts, the way the drums build on themselves and the vocal delivery on the build to the outro.stip wrote:DcT, go que up Lightning Bolt,put on a pair of headphones, close your eyes, think about the moment you realized Annie Clark was the one, and press play.

If you don't like this song, then I don't know what to tell you. I will agree the fade out is unnecessary.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
I mean, I'm not above the sufer-dewd lyrics (AtW, Big Wave, these are fantastic songs in my book) but LB isn't even layered. It's not about anything else. It's a fucking commercial. It's a jingle.

It's probably the only one of these songs that does it for me, actually.

And it's no more a surf song than RVM is a song about driving habits

Although that fade is the single worst production decision in their catalog

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
No true. It's the exact opposite. It's actually more of a surf song than anything they've ever done. There is no metaphor here actually.stip wrote:It's probably the only one of these songs that does it for me, actually.
