Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[WtOB?]

I've been worried that I'm a jaded old prick as the last 3 LB tracks haven't impressed me. In the words of Costanza - I'm back baby, I'm back.

I wouldn't get your hopes up about this being on LB. Eddie's voice is way too good on these, they're obviously old recordings. The production sounds like Avocado too.

[JimX6]

What does Let It Ride remind you guys of? I hear a hint of Crop Duster in this.. with a little In the moonlight. A Matt song for sure.. with very little Fixin' on it

[VinylGuy]

It doesnt sound like Riot Act, Binaural or S/T production though...

Maybe this is all just wishful thinking...

Demos most likely. Track 3 is very S/T in its vocal stylings. Track 6 I hear pure RA

i dont hear RA at all...these two seemed to be recorded during the Avocado sessions, if they are not from these sessions.

Im guessing both of them are demos, because the mixing is pretty weird...and in track 3 Ed´s vocals arent that good either.

Great songs.

Cold Confessions could have closed out ST. Maybe in my world it does.

so gone made the cut but these didn't

Probably because these have that loose, jammy Riot Act feeling to them and the band clearly went a more polished and completed direction with Avocado. Unfortunately.

It would be overload to have such gems as Inside Job, Gone AND these two....

Yeah and "live" songs.

[PHATJ]

These songs are fucking awesome. I hope against hope they are on LB.

PJ needs to put this shit to rest and just release the track list for LB already. What the fucks?!?

It reminds me of all the Riot Act lost dogs in one song.

not crazy about the boomdroppings towards the end of cold confession, but it's an interesting track

RIP Stone

Ed vocals on track 3 sound very recent. Very "The End".

just a few seconds into let it ride, and man, this is just the kind of song i wish they'd write more of

[Norah]

Why not just share these out in the open until we're told not to? It's not like they're being kept secret.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

I wanna know if these are gonna be on LB because if they are then i wanna leave them alone until the album comes out, if they aren't gonna be on the album then i wanna play the shit out of them

Alright, time to grab my headphones.

Probably better than what BOB-sparkly-rainbow-droppings would have been on it.. amirite?

I got more of an "inside job" feel from what he is doing. It is pretty scratchy tho.

[Farmer John]

Thanks Kurt. Just finished "Cold Confession". Ear boner for sure!

Fuck, these are fantastic songs.

yeah, its really weird we dont have an official track list for the new album.
