a self titled album! LOL

[McParadigm]

Once they put out that cover, "laughably embarrassing" stopped being a reason to assume they wouldn't do something.

[DaveVedder]

has the announcement on Universal's page been taken down?

Yes

[Walker Bait]

It would appear so...

Lightning bolt is too descriptive though. It's almost corny.
Our album is short powerful and electrifying.

It's like an 80s hair metal bands album title.

Surely it can't be lightning bolt?

Hahha. Exactly. Not that I think they should care about what they name it and how we feel about it..but maybe they might want to 'leak' a few album titles and cover designs well in advance. Then...they can go back and find a new one when the collective community gasps at the shite.

Anyway..if you are going to call it Lightning Bolt...you best not call it anything and just put a picture of a lightning bolt on it...and let us call it that or what we want. Like with S/T and Avacado. That puts part of the blame on us. hahah

Exactly. Lightning Bolt just screams adolescent, wanna-be hair metal.

I'd like to give PJ the benefit of the doubt that they would at least try to make some kind of statement with their title.

At this point I figure whenever 'no way in hell they'd do that' is your first thought, its safe to assume they're gonna do that.

[Thejambi]

[stupidmop]

It's the worst of all the rumored titles, so I think its safe to say its the actual title

That and the fact that it's the only one that originated somewhere other than this board.

[Biff Pocoroba]

But I have always liked the line "caught a bolt of lightning, cursed the day he let it go".
