It would be great if the band got round to recording the rest of the Ukulele Songs just for comparison's sake. I love the full band Can't Keep and SBM more than the solo versions (though I'm grateful both exist).

Swallowed Whole still doesn't do it for me. I pretty much like every other tune though.

Re: Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread
I find myself listening to Future Days more now. It may move out of the dud-status. The piano is still cringe worthy to me, but the rest of the song is rather pleasant. Good vocals, too. I was glad they didn't choose to play it in Bmore though.
I also think My Father's Son may take the throne for me as best song on the album, I can't get enough of it. It was a 3-way tie between MFS, YM, and Pendulum.

It's a shame My Father's Son seems like it's already been dropped (or close to it).

It's more likely to be that it's too hard on Ed's voice than that they don't like it.digster wrote:It's a shame My Father's Son seems like it's already been dropped (or close to it).

Re: Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread
Agreed, I hope it makes a few more live appearances. Last night Blood and Habit sounded a lot more vocally demanding/grating, but then again I'm not a singer.Strat wrote:harmless wrote:It's more likely to be that it's too hard on Ed's voice than that they don't like it.digster wrote:It's a shame My Father's Son seems like it's already been dropped (or close to it).

Who likes the songs more now that they've gotten to hear them in the World Series? Are the songs passing the World Series test?

Can you imagine driving around in the car, listening to the world series, getting a handjob, and hearing one of the new songs come on? you can't come up with a better test than that.
