Come on now.

And the center of that triangle contains the all-seeing eye (Eye of Providence) just like lightning bolt cover does.

thus proving my evolving thesis that Lightning Bolt is a leveled up No Code

I don't know why people like comparing albums so much. If anything, putting LB next to NC just makes it an even worse album.

Even though I like LB, I just hate the production and some of the artistic choices.

i'll never forget the time i opened up the vinyl into all four giant panels and the illuminati symbol was staring back at me

i was totally blown away

had no idea what the polaroids were about

such a deep album, on so many levels

the banana has spots

it's the present tense polaroid

the banana is going very ripe

not yet too ripe

but very ripe

it must be eaten

you must live

in the present tense

eat the banana

or it will go bad

just like in life

i also found the hail hail single cover, from the cd

the green color on it is very satisfying

i like the polaroid of the man in the ocean with his hand raised

but on the single the coloring is a notch more intense

maybe i'll buy the 7 inch vinyl just to hang that image in a larger size

Have you seen the way the banana ripens?
Does it inspire?

You can spend your time alone
Redigesting old bananas, oh

you can
come to terms and realize
doug's the only one
with a banana facts thread OOOOOOOHHHHoooooooo

I feel similar but with the difference that i dont like the album not the production and most of the artistic choices

This made me laugh so hard

not on No Code, but of the same spirit ... a great one

Love that one

great version of long road, as well.

I was a movie usher when dead man walking was in theaters, I always had a good time cleaning the theater after because that song played over the end credits

I’m happy this thread is getting so much action.

I remember No Code playing while messing around in the back of my car with my wife soon after we met. Weird? Maybe.

I remember blasting Mind Your Manners driving to and from the vet, while debating whether or not it was time to put him down. pretty similar.
