Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[harmless]

MYM is way more enjoyable than Ole, and it takes every good thing out of Ole and puts it back into a better song. So that's cool. The call and response outro on MYM is also *much* better than the same thing in Ole; the words Ed repeats are awesome and you can actually understand them.

Still don't know how ed is gonna handle it live, but we will see

[harmless]

I'm not sure if I'm excited to see a live video of that or terrified. Bit of both.

[dimejinky99]

I'd be out of breath by the first few lines.

And that's just watching it

LOL at the trolls.

I don't know why I didn't realise this before (it's obvious), but on the front cover is a lightning conductor / signal transmitter of some kind. The religious symbols are symbolic of preaching religious messages (from televangelists?), but they also look a bit like weathervanes on top of church towers, and the conductor replaces a church spire. Really cool artwork.

[WtOB?]

Yeah, the artwork is definitely growing on me. I just wish it was a little less digital-looking.

I forget his name, but isn't it by that poster designer? If so, it's his style. I recognised it when I first saw it but couldn't place the posters. I think it'll look awesome on a white CD case.

This is off facebook for London. I have no idea why they'd soundcheck 2 days before.

I thought the show was tonight, incidentally, but I might be wrong. It's conceivable that they'd soundcheck two days before if there's no time on the night.

It's called rehearsals.
There's precedent. They were here in Dublin for a week in the Point playing each day before the 06 tour started. That your is the tightest I've ever see them by the way.

That tour, I'm assuming you mean. Well, it's nice to hear they're rehearsing anyway.

[dimejinky99]

I know right?

Rehearsals? Pearl jam?? What are the chances!?

[harmless]

I'm excited to hear two new songs. Hopefully someone records 'em and puts 'em on Youtube.

I wonder if that version of corduroy is the one from bridge school in 96 or what ever year that was

[spike]

the alternate version corduroy is a bit much and makes me skeptical, but you never know.

No, pretty sure he meant that your

[dimejinky99]

Yeah. What he said
