Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[zoe1271]

I love the new single. I would have been happy with 3 minutes of that opening jam; it's great. This is the first PJ track I've heard that made me think Cameron really is a beast. I think we are reaping the benefits of Cameron's time with Soundgarden. He's on fire, McCready shreds it and Eddie sounds better than expected.

I'm not going to cynically piss on that comment (much) but what makes you say that? I *hoped* we'd be reaping the benefits of Matt having been with Soundgarden, and I still hope we do on the album, but I don't hear that in this song. He's OK.

My ears disagree with your's. There is something very Superunknowny about his drumming in this one. Maybe it's the intro jam. His drumming in the intro took me back to Like Suicide for a second.

[dimejinky99]

Yeah. I think you're o your own there Zoe. Don't hear anything soundgarden about the drums in this at all.

[Birds in Hell]

I definitely think this is some of Matt's more outstanding Pearl Jam drumming, he drives the song like a machine. It's quite Ty Cobb-esque in parts.

[Birds in Hell]

Mind your arctic monkeys is what I'm now calling this.

It really doesn't sound like Arctic Monkeys.

Like, not even a little bit.

Yes it does. An awful lot.

[Birds in Hell]

Yeah I don't think they'll put it on the album either. I guess my lost/unsaid point is that the last 3 PJ songs to surface have not really worked for me.

I guess I'm fortunate to be in the opposite camp. I've liked all three quite a bit. Especially Mind Your Manners which has really taken me by storm. But I was huge defender of Ole when it first came out. Still am. I love that quirky little dude.

Me too, after something of a fallow period, these guys are on a winning streak right now with me.

Of the Earth, Olé and Mind Your Manners - great, every single one.

I see where you're getting it, but I think it's more of a case of them both drawing on similar influences.

I like being on your page, Speeno.

Man, after all these years of being The Master of Meh, who knew that all spenno was looking for was POWER CHORDS

You hate him even more now, don't you?

[Jorge]

No, but seriously, that's 3 song across 3 years. At this rate, it'll be nearly a decade before we get a full album's worth of songs that you like.

Let's embrace it and enjoy them while they last. This could be it for all of us.

Lightning never strikes twice In the same place.

Could this be it!?

[@SkitchP]

I hope this is a double album Disc Lightning, and Disc Bolt

[verb_to_trust]

Maybe Dime has a leak again like he did for self titled.

[dimejinky99]

I meant could this be the last one?
