Spenno appreciates cool guitar work, so he knows the LTRP is actually pretty cool. If only it weren't for that chorus...

Its not that cool though. The opening riff is kind of cool but when tuned for the song its not that interesting. Then its just dumb blues rock that you might hear at the local poon saloon.

Also, for the record, i have found myself defending the song in the past to some friends. This one definitely should have been a b side. However, when compared to the other 2 here.....its laughable.

Though the T Rex comparison helped.

I really dig those descending wah licks on the verse. I think Stone was on to something great with the main riff, but it got scrambled in the BOBinator.

The bridge in Yellow Moon is one of their best.


The song just kind of has this rolling boil for most of the song until the bridge approaches then it just takes off and soars. Its kind of unique for them. Its not the chorus that explodes into this anthemic battle cry but rather the bridge catapults the song into the cathartic release that they so often go towards. Then it simmers on out....

Yellow Moon is great.

I don't think it's abnormal at all that PJ would write a song with a better bridge than chorus. Their catalog is littered with examples.

I don't even hate the chorus. LTRP is a really cool song, period. No need for qualifiers. It's leaps and bounds better than Swallowed Whole. But it's not as good as Yellow Moon. But I love LTRP.

I may listen to Lightning Bolt today. It's been forever since that got a start to finish treatment. I'm starting to regret not finishing that guided tour.
