Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[stupidmop]

I'll probably be driven by dark masochistic forces to read through entire threads of 'RIP PJ', 'This is the end,my only friend the end', 'Fuck this band', 'I love this band' 'stop bitching about the band', 'Eddie Vedder sux', 'leave Eddie alooone!'

Plus I'd rather read reviews here than 'official' reviews as it were.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

just a heads up... there's no way i'm going to read everyone's thoughts on the new album

But this is often better than the actual album....

but especially that first week or two. don't sign onto RM for 12 hours and this thread will have 55 unread pages. by the time i'd get through 3 or 4 of them, there's 10 more added.

you just have to skim over the garbage and read the posts where people are speaking about how they actually feel about the album.

Someone needs to create a highlights tread, cull out all the crap and just leave us with those creaming themselves over the album and those pouring out all the vitriol in their systems about how much they hate it

OK, so I trawled through the last dozen or so pages, and retrieved the "cream" of the crop. These are the most informative and useful comments I could find. I hope this helps clarify the last few days of conversation in this thread.

Woah.

Derp

kill it with fire

skim over the garbage

Old unintelligent shtick

in the past we made two separate threads. don't know if that helped or not (the love and the hate threads)

the real art is dragging that out for 200 pages

Its really not that difficult, how many pages do we already have for 10th album speculation and lightning bolt discussion between the 2 boards? And its pretty much those same posts

We're about to drag the discussion of an album that we don't even have a tracklisting for past 200 pages in less than a month. If they gave out awards for art, that would be worthy of one. Ed and Jeff agree.

It feels like we're back in the same place we were a couple of months ago.

sisyphean struggle

I'm still optimistic about the Lightening Bolt album. Other than the shitty songs we've heard so far there's really no need not to be.

Side note: I've been spending a lot of time with STPs Tiny Music lately. BoB did that one and I'd be jazzed to get something like that
