Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[KurtLeon]

For me, Infallible and Pendulum carries this album. For me, it would be a "good" album, but this two songs got me with a "wow" effect, that they simply stand out on the whole, showing "Hey fuckers, we are the boss arround here".

Nice. I like the support for LtRP. I think it gets way too much hate around here. It's not my favorite, but it is a solid song and a good new avenue for the band to pursue for sure.

At the same time I don't understand the LtRP hate, I don't get the SW love. Its such a mediocre song

Ed was hilariously assholish in 2003. More rants than any other year i think. There was that whole shitting on girls heads thing, and theres a boot somewhere where after a song he screams "Too much time betweens songs and can i get some fucking lights please" into the mike, which sounded beautifully diva-ish.

That was the tour where he made fun of that girl's boobs, right?

What was this all about? I only remember it vaguely. Do we have a transcript?!

Even better!



In true 2003 ed fashion it turns into a rant about voting too.

Holy fuck. And this was in their "cool" era...

Haha, what a fucking asshole.

COMPLETELY agree. I have it 10th of the 12.

"Swallowed Whole" is pretty fucking great. "Let the Records Play" is a melty turd.

[PHATJ]

BTW, I'm glad PJ licensed their songs for the World Series. I couldn't care less about the "sell out" factor. It will make my enjoyment of the games that much better and it will make some of my dumb ass friends have to hear some PJ get burned into their brains! And that's always a good thing!

Two part answer:

Glad you like it man, and

[mastaflatch]

thank god they're not curling fans.

Also this can't be said enough, Jeff Ament is a beast.

I like the chorus in LTRP, it's a shame it was wasted by sandwiching it between a meat 'n' potato's bar blues riff.

I like the blues ripoff. Cant stand the uber shitty lifeless chorus.

What's even the point of that song existing except to have the blues rock part? Otherwise its just pointless.

That's more disturbing than it should be.

It's official for me. Lightning Bolt is a GREAT album. Better than Riot Act for me and knocking on Binaural's door. It is such a full experience and not one song I want to skip. Ed's voice hasn't been this good since Binaural and I am loving all the twists and turns these songs take. I wanted more of a challenging record and they delivered.

Fuck Yeah!!!

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

Singling out and berating an individual in a massive crowd for doing something as inconsequential (and ultimately pretty normal for a big ampitheatre show) as flashing her breasts is an unbelievably cruel thing to do.

First of all, it wasn't a "massive crowd". It was probably one of the smallest venues on the tour. The girl looked like she was about 13 and was trying her best to distract them while they played. Eddie was already in a bad mood that day because of the rude venue staff. So he went off on her. She had already made a fool of herself.

[Jorge]

oh well that changes everything
