Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Stone's 'main contribution' was LTRP? Sounds even sloppier and more derivative in that vignette. Four years and this is all Stone can manage? A song he wrote on the fly using another guys tuning?

I'm guessing he had better stuff that didn't 'fit' with the rest of the album.

Or, perhaps he didn't like the taste of shit, so he opted out of licking B'OB's asshole.

If that's true then the real question should be why do shitty songs seem to 'fit' on Pearl Jam records?

Cause they're *~:FUN:~*

I bet stone and matt sit in the corner bitching about Bo'B and ed likeing shitty music when they both know theirs is more interesting.

i think its cute that you guys at least partially believe this.

Life's more fun when everythings a conspiracy.

For instance, i think stones new stache goatee combo is an attempt to look like brenden. When he starts looking more like brenden and less like a muskateer, he will dye his hair blonde and the transformation will be complete. He will then absorb brenden via osmosis and become one with him .He will be able to thoroughly convince the rest of the band that he is infact brenden all the while producing the albums himself.

Now he won't ever be able to appear in the same room as 'brenden' but since ed doesn't give a shit whether he's in the room or not, it's only the other guys that are gonna be a problem. At which point stone will have to start the process again with ed in order to threaten the rest of the band with axes. Just you wait till stone starts walking around in batting helmets.

Eventually stone will be both the lead singer and producer for Pearl Jam, which is everything he ever wanted, and we will finally get our 'return to form' album. Or pearl jam goes funk, one of the two.

Pearl Jam's 11th album: Porn Music

The ejaculation happened, and now we bask in the glow (or have a cigarette on the balcony in the rain, ruing the whole experience).

If this album were a book, it would be Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell by Suzanne Clarke.


Dark turnful screwed up fairy tale.

[Birds in Hell]

They haven't confirmed what the extra digital content is, I presume it's something other than the singles as we already have those.

I wouldn't be surprised if they finally made the London and Wrigley boots available once the countdown ends.

[harmless]

It almost deserves that description. So near, yet so far.

[dimejinky99]

In fairness to PJ management and ten club, they've played a blinder with the marketing for this record.

The digital content on this might well be something really special.

you're right. This is probably a more accurate picture of PJ HQ

I posted this picture I found on Mike's intragram a few months ago in the 2003 Japan Tour thread, but it seems relevant to this discussion...

I guess the response to these things is that they were already swimming in money when they made the really cool shit, and they're not really any more successful now than they were then.

Jonathan Strange is a wonderful yet frustrating book

That's why I made the comparison.

And strangely enough, the artwork / colour scheme is the same.

Oh, OK

Still, two slip-ups on the album isn't bad at all.

You haven't read it????

Please do. You of all people would appreciate it.

I hardly read any fiction at all. Sarah might be into it though.

[dimejinky99]

I think you'd like it. If not love it.
It's so bizarre. But brilliant.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that they weren't. We're just suggesting that this is a more likely scene than Stone sitting in the corner being angry.

[BurtReynolds]

this thread needs more Stranger34.

Yeah, fair enough. I mean he's probably pretty happy to be still doing this day job.

I just jumped on and pre-ordered the 10C LP. Bonus digital content come at me!

It'll be all the stuff we've seen. Vignettes, full EPK, and the band performing the album live.(e.g. Sirens video)

Betterman (live)

[Noaheb]

Is this the album we've been waiting for?
The one that signifies the beginning of a new era where albums come out every couple of years again and b-sides are brought back into the fold as well as xmas singles that dont suck?

Maybe an outtake or two or b-sides to the MYM and Sirens singles!

[harmless]

Doubtful. Not when there are still album tracks that suck.

Only if this Lightning Bolt contains exactly 1.21 Jigawatts.
