Red Mosquito

I don't know how the LB songs will age with me compared to other PJ tunes but I'm wondering why about everyone on here ranks most of their other albums above LB. It seems a known favorite here, Vitalogy, and my previous favorite, is at least a little outmatched by LB song for song, in my opinion anyway.

my opinion:

last exit > getaway (though it's close to a tie but i'm giving the edge to LE to prevent this from being a shut out)
mym > STBC (close. could easily be a tie. mym has the much better chorus, so it prevails)
corduroy> MFS
infallible > tremor christ
pendulum tied with imortality (could be due to the newness, so this could easily change)
swallowed whole > whipping
LB > satan's bed
SBM > aye davanita
yellow moon > not for you (close)
nothing man > future days (probably a tie but i'm giving the edge to NM to prevent this from being a shut out)
sirens tied with betterman
LTRP > bugs

result: not close in favor of LB
---------------------------------------
should at least be a reasonable consensus?

last exit > getaway
mind your manners ties with STBC
corduroy> MFS
infallible > tremor christ
immortality > pendulum
swallowed whole > whipping
LB > satan's bed
SBM > aye davanita
yellow moon tied with not for you
nothing man > future days
sirens tied with betterman
LTRP > bugs

LB: 6
vitalogy: 4
---------------------------------------

still reasonable:

last exit > getaway
STBC > mym
corduroy> MFS
infallible > tremor christ
immortality > pendulum
swallowed whole > whipping
LB > satan's bed
SBM > aye davanita
not for you > yellow moon
nothing man > future days
sirens tied with betterman
LTRP > bugs

vitalogy: 6
LB: 5

Though LB could be compared to Not For You (LB seems to be better) and Yellow Moon could be compared to Satan's Bed (YM seems to be better). If that was the case it would change the outcome. With this approach, the best possible outcome for vitalogy would be a slight edge if betterman wins against sirens. If people are considering it a blow out between Vitalogy and LB in Vitalogy's favor, it seems off to me.

The judge will be away for the most part due to a recent computer crash.

I love your threads.

As much as im loving infallible, its no where near as good as tremor Christ

Seriously, is this guy high?

A legend is born.

This could just be discussed in the Lightning Bolt album thread. Really no need for a new thread.

So pull your mod trigger and do something about it.

is lightning bolt better than the Beatles?

Now don't get me wrong, I've pretty much assimilated Lightning Bolt into my PJ-fandom history at this point. But... ?

Vitalogy is far better than Lightning Bolt. That's all that needs to be said.

I'm comfortable saying I would take any LB song over PRIVACY. Actually I retract that statement.

Stip posted in here first, so it's his call.

What did you do during the morning session?

Vitalogy is the best Pearl Jam album, ergo it is better than LB.

Different times, different songs, different approaches. Vitalogy is still a classic.

different quality levels.

Different bands.

This thread being a better thread than the 1300 pages long old Lightning Bolt thread reasonable?

I don't know how this page of this thread will age with me compared to all of the 1300 pages but I'm wondering why about everyone on here ranks most of the other threads here above this one. It seems a known favorite here, 1300 pages long old Lightning Bolt thread, and my previous favorite, is at least a little outmatched by this thread page for page, in my opinion anyway.

This page > Every page in the LB thread

That's reasonable
