Probably not. I need more sleep eventually.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
You better sleep for a couple of days straight before the whole album drops. You'll need the energy to post an ungodly amount of posts. I'm betting you'll hit 20,000 around that time, and end up with the wanker's cramp of an 80 year old.harmless wrote:Probably not. I need more sleep eventually.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I just... I just feel... like I'm listening to a PJ record here, not just a half-hearted attempt at one. It's good. There are obviously things that a good contingent of the fans aren't going to like here. I could take or leave Brendan O'Brien. But it just tickles me in all the right places, musically, even though it doesn't do anything I wish PJ were doing in 2013.Sgt.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I think this album will be their most polarizing. It'll shake off a bunch if long term fans, gain a bunch if new fans, but it will also simultaneously baffle and give an eargasm to many of us.harmless wrote:I just...

I keep thinking this is how "old" fans must've felt being presented with No Code after coming off the first three records. Quite a shift in the paradigm.Sgt.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Why Parasher? Ten is as washed in effects as this is, probably more. Or are you hoping the guitars would get louder?
