Let's 'retrack' Lightning Bolt. It's my least favorite album, and I know I'm not alone ;)
So, what would you do with it? You can delete songs from the tracklist or add some outtakes like: 'Olé' or 'Off the Earth'.

1. Pendulum
2. Infallible
3. My Father's Son
4. Mind Your Manners
5. Getaway
6. Lightning Bolt
7. Sirens
8. Swallowed Whole
9. Off the Earth
10. Yellow Moon

Wow. I think this record is soo much better now :)

Record store single 7'' release:
A- Sleeping by Myself
B- Future Days

and another one:
A- Let the records play
B- Olé

Or just save those tracks for Lost Dogs II. I don't care.

    Like the record a lot.
    If I were able to make a swap, though, I would be fine with My Father's Son being replaced by Of The Earth and Yellow Moon being thrown in the scrap pile next to Ole. Yellow Moon only finishes ahead of Parachutes for me at the bottom of Favorite PJ Songs

    Really? Yellow Moon is a top 5 LB song to me. For 'Off the earth' I was kinda assuming that a studiorecording only would fit the record

    My Fathers Son and Yellow Moon should never be taken off LB. But Of the Earth added with Cold Confession and Let it Ride would be nice.

    I dont see Cold Confession or Let it Ride fitting on LB at all. Nothing can help that mess of an album.
    Put either or both of those on Avocado and that would have made a very good record already possibly one of their best.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Cold Confessions only fits Avocado for sure...man that song should have made an appearance on that album

    Not a fan of Let It Ride

    this band has definitely left some good songs on the cutting room floor

    I'd have to rename the album, because I'd have to leave Lightning Bolt off of Lightning Bolt. lol

    I could also do without LTRP. It's pretty bad. And SBM doesn't fit in. But without those four, if they were replaced by four good songs that fit the overall feel better, it would be a really good album. Lol, so basically change 1/3 of it. ;)

    If we're splitting hairs, "Of the Earth" isn't from the Lightning Bolt sessions, neither were the two not to be named songs and "Olè" was (I think) from Backspacer sessions.
    Then again I'm diagnosed OCD and maybe the only one who cares.

    completely forgot about SBM. That's actually the one track on there that I would be pleased the most if it was gone.

    I didn't really get the comments of those songs being on there either. they wouldn't fit.

    They should release an Of The Earth EP, with every studio attempt they've made to record it. Maybe it would be a full length. I wonder how many times they've tried it?

    I'd leave Sirens off. Wish is would've been buried in Anarctica. Fine with everything else the way it is.

    why wouldn't they fit? those two songs are way better than 3 or 4 songs off of lighting bolt. who cares when they were recorded. (hello betterman lol)
