that's what i am wondering too

They've never done anything different in the past, correct?

I know there have been promo copies of albums that have been colored vinyl. But no other differences.

I'm not a 10c member anymore, but I have someone who orders specials for me. Wonder if I should just have him get it for me.

I think Brendon O'Brien is doing all the piano/organ on the album.

They only take Boom out of his box for tours.

Is it? I thought it was something else. But I had that hookah shirt until about a week ago. I finally wore that fucker out and got rid of it.

I'll probably shorten it to LB, when I shorten it. But I'll probably type out Lightning Bolt more often than not.

Totally, sounds like a Dio album title said out loud.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it yet, but looks like a Brad Klausen design to me :thumbsup:

The title and coverart look awful. But that pre-order price is really generous. $25 for a new vinyl pre-order? Wow.

Assuming that is the coverart, of course. I prefer the MYM cover.

Depends on if it is a decent record or not.

If it's a turkey, it will never not be Lightning Bolt.

If it's good, it will have to be renamed entirely. Perhaps after one of the highlight tracks.

i don't understand the hatred behind the title of the album...??

Interested to see how the title is representative of the songs in theme.
