    Lyrics: Vedder

    Besides Getaway, I prefer all the songs that Ed DIDN'T WRITE THE MUSIC TO. I have taken SBM, Future Days, and Sirens off my iPod. Too bad I can't skip them on the vinyl! :lol:

    Has anybody been able to import ANY of the formats into iTunes??? If so what's your secret? Should I just have bought the album in iTunes in the first place? - I hate iTunes, never works right on the pc.
    If you are on PC and not using either an iPhone or other iDevice - might I suggest that you look into a different program for your music enjoyment?

    Also, in worst case - you have some pluug-ins to WinAmp that can help you transfer to iPod's etc.

    Wow, for some reason, I didn't realize EV wrote the lyrics to every song on LB! :shock:

    Had hopes of being happy on return, but no CD yet.
    Checked with 10C for shipping times - great news... :(

    "Normal transit time is 10-14 business days.

    These are worst case shipping times. Orders are shipped without tracking.
    International orders shipped via UPS Mail Innovations can take up to 4-8 weeks for processing, shipping and delivery. At this time, there is no tracking information available for International shipments. Please take into account holidays and poor weather conditions. Shipments to Canada, Mexico, South America and Australia can expect delays due to increased Customs scrutiny. Orders that have not arrived within 90 days of order placement will be considered lost and will be resent if stock remains or store credit will be given in full amount of purchase.

    Thanks-
    10c"

    Means that 18th is still a valid normal date of delivery.

    And while the digital download was nice - I realize that I paid for more or less nothing special. The files aren't HD or anything - simple CD quality wav/Flac at best. :S
    Color me less impressed by now...

    Yesterday during my lunch break I went to Best Buy, Futureshop, Walmart & Taz Records. None of them had the Lightning Bolt CD. I have one coming from 10club but I want a CD for work.

    So today I stopped by Mic Mac Mall's HMV store. And low & behold .. IT WAS THERE!!! :D

    Why Sirens? McCready wrote the music for that?

    I wish they would have found someting else to put on the album besides SBM. I don't see the point of it being on there.

    This album is not the easiest to understand.

    When I listen to it there seems to be something off except for on the song, "Future Days." I tried to figure out what it was, as if something was forced in the making. As the voice is an instrument it sounds like it is in conflict with the rest of the instruments. Very different approach towards the interaction of the voice and the rest of the instruments.
    I'm having a better understanding of the songs from listening more than the "official" lyrics on pearljam.com. It's odd to me that there's not a better source than the official band website to get the lyrics of the songs.

    Listened to the album 3x through already, and I have to say, even as a die-hard fan, I am completely disappointed. Outside of Getaway, Mind Your Manners and possibly My Father's Son, the rest of the album is incredibly mellow and, IMO, boring.

    The entire album sounds wayyyyy to 'POP' for my taste. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind in the future, but I feel that this is by far their weakest album...

    So I get there's a delay in getting the vinyl via mail. I just checked and finally actually have tracking info and it says expected delivery is October 21 now. A little bummed but what are you going to do? Anyway was wondering if anyone out there has gotten the 10c version yet is it black, red, white or what? Sound quality? Any cool inserts? Also I've been listening to my digital and I have to say I love getaway, pendulum, sirens, MYM, lightning bolt. Hoping sleeping grows on me. Records and infallible were way better live in pittsburgh but sure they'll grow on me too. Not huge on my fathers son but maybe will grow too.

    Just received email:
    "Your Ten Club LLC order is on its way!" :o

    So stoked, can't wait :thumbup:

    I still haven't received my CD :? Well, tomorrow. Perhaps. Meanwhile, I've listened to it from Spotify over and over again... and will do so again now.

    LB is not too good of a soundtrack for running, btw :lol:

    Hasn't Ed pretty much written all the lyrics since "Pearl Jam"?

    I've been reading a lot of reviews of the album - whether it's hear on the forum, or online articles - and a lot of people are really expressing disappointment. I, for one, love it! Had the CD since Saturday and it's been playing non-stop! Can't wait to finally get my vinyl in the mail!

    Remember, a lot of people don't like Riot Act or Binaural either. It's totally meaningless. ;)

    Got my CD yesterday, listened to it about 3 times. So far I think "Infallible" is my fav.
