I agree that it is the start of a period of production that is ultimately to raise the band to an iconic status in all time.

I really thought they may have been on a decline after backspacer (still and incredibly awesome album but there worst in my opinion) but then they release lightning bolt that has just put me in awe! Best album they have released in a long time possibly since no code! Really impressed and look foward to future releases!
Four years is indeed a long time b/t albums. BUT...if that's the incubation period required at this point in their career for them to create an album of this quality then so be it
I agree with you. The more I listen to the new album, the more I like it. I've spun it 2-3 a day since I got it, and it continues to grow on me. My post was more in reference to all the bitching about the big window of time between releases. I never had an issue, but lots of people got whiny about it.

I had the honor of seeing them on the day Lightning Bolt was released, so I guess that made the new songs that much more special to me. Sirens is simply a work of art, and most of the other songs on the CD are pretty damn awesome as well.
I haven’t listened to any other band since Oct. 15th, I guess you could say I’m going through a serious Pearl Jam bender.

Not to mention this tour....holy crap THIS TOUR! They've been on fire. Can't wait to see what's next!
Top 5 at the moment: Getaway, Infallible, Yellow Moon, Sirens, Lightning Bolt

I'm glad they kind of experimented a little more on this album than Backspacer. I'm a big fan of Backspacer because I thought it was the right time to make a straight-ahead, accessible, melodic rock record with some really solid hooks. But I definitely missed Mike's presence, Jeff's creativity on the low-end, and Stone's ability to play very diverse parts from song to song.
LB seems to capture what every band member does best, even if it doesn't flow very well at times. At first listen, I thought the energy dropped off after Infallible but I'm appreciating Side B more and more as I listen. Even "Let the Records Play" which I thought I would hate forever.
And I really think Future Days is a special track. I haven't heard much love for this song, but I think it's beautiful. The bridge is incredible with the lyric, "When hurricanes and cyclones raged..." Very powerful.
My initial feeling was 7.5 / 10 but I think I'm at 8.5 now.
I couldn't of said it better!!!!!!!!
I am loving Swallowed Whole, Infallible, Sirens, Lightning Bolt, Yellow Moon, oh heck I love them all. Thank you PJ for an awesome album, it was worth the wait :thumbup:
I hope not. I want to believe that the boys have a new-found energy and desire for creativity in themselves. All this talk about mortality in this album. They just wanna use their gifts while they can to share and enjoy their music with their fans.

It is good to see that the inspiration is still there, even if there was a long wait. Then again, I've been so busy, four years flew by. :shock: I'm still trying to finish the bathroom we were renovating around the Spectrum shows. :fp:

Jeremy has spoken and boy is he right! This album rocks. IMO it has a special feeling that has not been seen since Yield. The other albums since Yield have their place but L-Bolt has an air about it that elevates it for me?
