I support this assessment.

Of course you do, you're from Michigan!
I was double checking the World on a String comparison and decided to listen to in repair.

Keep in mind I havent heard that song in like 10 years. I think it's just the general forced punky sound.

CD on my home system kicks this album up another level. Every one of these songs is distinctive and creative and frankly, fun to sing. Today, I am loving Lightning Bolt. Well ... except for Swallowed Whole. That's still pretty forgettable IMHO.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It sounds like you're on the right track, because SW is great too!

Still in a pretty intense dialogue with Infallible today, and I'm realizing that, for me, it doesn't fully earn itself until the outro. It's good all the way through, and it's always going where it's going, but until I see our destination there's always a sliver of doubt. It does get there, though.

Those of you who got your copy of LB today, when did you get a shipping e-mail notification from 10c? I just got an e-mail from them about a half hour ago, so I'm trying to calculate their lag time, whether it be arriving tomorrow, Monday or, even worse... Tuesday.

I am eagerly awaiting what lament thinks of Lbolt, and is am really glad b digs the album. He works too hard to get saddled with a record he doesn't like
