Red Mosquito

I heard a promo for new rock 98 ROCK WIYY and Lightning Bolt was the new song they were playing. Not sure if its a single / promo anywhere else, but here at least one station, (the mainstream modern rock station) is playing Lightning Bolt.

I haven't heard anything new on WHFS 104-9 or WRNR 103.1 or Dc101.

I wouldn't put anything from Lightning Bolt in the top 100. Can someone enlighten me? Getaway plods along and doesn't really go anywhere, the chorus in Infallible is awful, Pendulum sends me to sleep in a bad way and Yellow Moon is b-side material. MFS is quite good but not great.

yes, they probably only have 150 or so original songs including B sides, xmas singles, etc. so some songs from LB have to be in your top 100.

People here are overly fond of hyperbole.

Pendulum is definitely a top 20 song for me.

They have around 120 or so just in the 10 basic studio albums, not counting incomplete pieces or transitions.

Plus 27 Lost Dogs songs (not counting covers). Plus unreleased tracks that have surfaced. Plus a few things on the greatest hits that aren't on a record.

So it seems perfectly possible for someone to not count any of LB in their top 100 ( )

i couldn't even remember the tracklist to LB. i had to wiki it just now.

This is a sad album for me. It's when I truly realized that this band is creatively and musically dead. I wish it didn't exist.

Cheer up, Jeff.

No need for enlightenment. You have your opinion and I have mine. There aren't many who share my views around these parts so it doesn't really matter. The band is already dead for most of you guys. They're just hitting their second peak for me. There are more LB songs in my PJ top twenty than there have been from any other album since Vitalogy. The band that you guys love, the Pearl Jam from the middle period, is the band I least want PJ to be.

I haven't heard Lbolt in a while. But rival came on shuffle on the way to work, which made me want to listen to infallible. It was quite good

Welcome to the board

classic stip post.

Rival was quite good too. Those two songs remind me of each other.

I don't know that any Lbolt songs are in my top 20. But it's a consistently good listen from start to finish. Not pathbreaking, but a satisfying listen. Backspacer is the same kind of listen for me (excepting supersonic), but the songs aren't quite as good

Release_me and I will have to start our own board for the next album. Tolummune can post there too. McParadigm can stop by once a week to update us on sales figures.
