    Getaway: perfect, angry, awesome.
    Pendulum: been waiting for a song like this for years
    MYM: like I said, I love angry Pearl Jam
    Infallible: very cool, interesting, love the lyrics
    Lightning Bolt: soaring, great melody (though the production blows)
    My Father's Son: love the bass, vox and even that fucking weird bridge
    Yellow Moon: it's ok. a bit of a snoozer. not bad if I'm in the mood for it. love the bridge.
    Swallowed Whore: sounds like an REM throwaway from Automatic For the People. Not bad, though.
    Sirens: it's grown on me, but still a cheese fest. I think the lyrics are lame.
    Let the Records Play: a stupid song. the solo is good live. that's all it has going for it.
    Future Days: just terrible. the piano intro/outro is laughable. the lyrics suck. melody is OK, but the everything else ruins this song.
    Sleeping By Myself: should have been a holiday single. this song is a total throwaway and sounds like a Jason Mraz outtake. I loved the uke songs version, but this is just sad

    and I think the sequencing of the album is not very good. poor flow to it in my opinion.

    All in all, I think Lightning Bolt is a pretty good album. It definitely is more sticky than Backspacer if that makes sense.

    It's still early though so maybe some of these that I don't care for will sound better later.

    Getaway
    Mind Your Manners
    Sirens
    Lighting Bolt
    Infallible
    Swallowed Whole
    Let the Records Play
    Yellow Moon(is very close to Low Light)

    are all good.

    My Father's Son I dont' really like the verses. It's ok. The middle is good.

    Pendulum repels me. I like the guitar break, but I can't really listen to it.

    Sleeping By Myself has a little instrumentation that's nice, but shouldn't have been included on a PJ album.

    Future Days seems like it should be on a Ed record. Maybe I'll give another chance...
