I think there’s several Pearl Jam albums in that category for me (including LB).

This is easily the best Future Days Ive heard. And I kinda hate the song.

Vinyl roulette selected this as my workout album today - when I saw it come up I was tempted to spin again. Ended up playing it through and enjoyed more then I had expected to

Sirens came on the ol’ Pearl Jam Radio yesterday. First time I’ve listened to it from start to finish in a very long time. God damn what a shit pile of a song. I’d rather hear NAIS on repeat for 3 days solid than listen to that again.

It’s their worst album but it’s ok.

Highly disagree, the first seven songs are really good in terms of the song writing
And just right after Pendulum it's a pure mess.

Dump everything past Pendulum and you're ended up with a great EP

Yellow Moon is nice. But yeah the second half is super stinky. Mad when there are.... rumours... about some material that was left off of LB in favour of dross like Future Days and SBM.

Possible lame question, but was there ever a vinyl of Lightning Bolt in a white package?
