Shitty art has none. What few clues the (potential) cover art and the lyrics/composition/sound of MYM provide help lead me toward a potential frame of mind; a context. 'Lightning Bolt' as a stand alone title isn't uninspired. If there's more to it, if there is a relevant context, it helps the title make more sense. Perhaps Lightning Bolt is the best title for whatever this album is.
I was with you on the Pythagorean Theorem, buddy. Super simple.

I hit my head on the counter. When I woke, I thought I dreamed up the album title. How could a band pick such a terrible name?

Nothing is worse than naming your 8th album Pearl Jam.

Neh, 1-12 and all tracks are 3:00 long. Although, that part could be correct.Dr. Van Nostrand wrote:Does it just list them as tracks 1-12 on i tunes or does it give song titles?dimejinky99 wrote:Track 7&8 are missing from the iTunes preorder.

did any of the fakes have it as track 2? I was thinking most had it at 4
I wonder if it will be a nice slow opener into it, or if they will start out with fast for the first few like the last 2 albums
