Sorry . I can't keep up with this shit.

Chaps would have been ideal.

So I used audacity to try and get the audio from this song from the youtube video but it doesn't sound great. Does anyone have a good rip of this or want to take a stab at it? I'll put them on the gmail account with the other stuff that's there.
*NM I think I figured this out. I'll put it up on gmail shortly.

My initial disapoinment about this song came from the fact that i stupidly decided that since this was the title track, it was gonna be some epic song with guitars that sounded like lightning crashes and drums like rolling thunder and other cool shit, and we'd be all
But that was my own fault.

There's probably going to be a massive lightning crash superimposed on the intro, post-production. You might get your wish.

It all depends how you do it and how good the song is. Love Reign O'er Me does the "storm affects" and no one bats an eye. Not to mention it has a pretty dumb reign/rain pun throughout and no one gives a shit cuz the song kicks ass and the production is tasteful.

no prob! It's up but there is a ding right when the song ends. i'll edit that off later and re-up that version, but otherwise it sounds totally fine.

I think Lightning Bolt is one step away from Backspacer in the direction of Yield.

It's still growing on me. Whether or not it's because I want it to doesn't bother me at the moment. There's enough there to at least make me want to hear a studio version. I still need to find out about the overall approach to production. MYM seems to suggest that it won't be entirely Backspacerish.

The last part of the song is really nice, i like what Mike is doing with the E bow a lot.

The screeching from Ed is pretty bad though. I hope that's better on the album.

Whether or not this sounds like Yield or Backspacer will depend entirely on production, imo. Unthought Known could've been a Yield song, so could ATW. But they sounded like pop songs because of arrangement, instrumentation and production.
