The cover seems like it was made by a fourteen year old kid learning how to use Photoshop for the first time

Do you think Ed let one of his kids choose the title?

I like the art. I think my problem with the title is that lightning bolt is just not the greatest sounding phrase.

It sounds like somebody let the 6 year old name the dog.

The Game of Thrones kid named his wolf Shaggy Dog, but it'll still rip your face off.

I don't get this.

The phrase lightning bolt is just not a particularly cool, elegant, mysterious word. It's a bit clunky

I'm well aware of who the most dangerous villain in that series is.

Yeah it's really jarring and just doesn't sound like an album title.

Yeah, I guess I don't hear that at all. It sounds cool to me, rolls of the tongue. Rock n' roll.

Once I have an album, full artwork, etc. I could certainly end up liking it

Late 80's cock rock fake metal bands thought about naming their album Lightning Bolt and decided against it because it was too corny.

This might have been answered, but who is that playing guitar with Stone in the promo video? BoB?

I saw Ed's "guy" in the clap section.

I tried to pause during the beginning to see if I could catch a song title or two, but they are too blurry to make out.
