Lightning Bolt -- guess the tracks!

[dprival78]

this works, right?

Nicely done, I like

good i thought I was going crazy for a minute. I think it definitely spells out pearl jam.

Very nice, but does MYM fuck this up?

they might not count that one. pearl jam is only 8 letters and there are supposedly 11 tracks... I dunno.

the whole thing will spell out: RIP PEARL JAM

[stupidmop]

Not enough letters. If anything it's spelling 'the pearl jams'.

And here it is.... https://vine.co/v/hivB5wjBOzU

i for one was happy they filled in all the like letters at the same time.

take notes, B.

lol that would be epic.

spelling out "pearl jam" is a stretch, even for RM standards

I thought it was a very creative insight.

based on the nostril & the shape of the eye, i'm thinking it's a dragon/lizard/godzilla

If you mix it up, it spells out MICROP_NIS

OMG. You're fucking right. It's like it's the secret album title.

I dont see an L in the Swallowed Whole image at all.

It's a U.

I'm thinking the fish is a Coelacanth, a "living fossil" from the Cretaceous period.

I think this will expand on Unthought Known. I like that idea I really like Unthought Known

Based on the imagery, the song titles, and the songs we've already heard, I'm buying the apocalypse theme, and I'm really looking forward to it.

This is just to much for me to hope for. The art direction on this album is looking like their best yet. I am really glad they turned over all control to Boom.

ive hoped for the apocalypse concept album since a few were talking about it a couple of weeks ago

[philpritchard]

But on MYM, the lyrics are "We sure could use him now"

I keep hearing "it".

"And if it's out there somewhere we sure could use it now."

If that's what it is, I actually like it a lot.

Really like the Russian Roulette idea to this image...

To me the gun is pointing at me. We look out at the world and see beauty, but we don't see that the world is going to kill us, because of our irresponsibility of not keeping the planet clean.

[Lament]

I hope if it's a concept record, at the end there's a hidden song where Ed tells us that we're all to blame we fucking blew it and we can all burn in hell, and then he gets on a spaceship with his family and leaves the world behind.

I'm not even joking. That'd be fucking great.

I didn't really think about it before because we knew so little. But the religious imagery in the artwork for Lightning Bolt and Mind Your Manners, along with the lyrics Sgt. Crackpot posted earlier all make sense. Now these new reveals for Sirens, Swallowed Whole and Yellow Moon all seem like they could fit the concept. As much as I've been looking forward to the album, I'm concerned this idea has got me too excited. If they don't do it, I'll be at least a bit disappointed now.
