Favorite Lightning Bolt Album

nomadicfollower · 04.22.2006, 07:58 PM

Lightning Bolt is one of my favorite bands right now. I love how they're not like all the shitty noise bands who have no talent (even though that's why noise is a cool genre). I like how they utilize noise and work it into a pretty solid melody. And they have fun doing it!

Anyway, my favorite has to be Wonderful Rainbow.

HaydenAsche · 04.22.2006, 07:59 PM

Ride The Skies!

13 Monsters is one of my favorite songs ever.

I like all the albums pretty well though.

nomadicfollower · 04.22.2006, 08:01 PM

Yeah, Ride the Skies is a close second. Have you seen the DVD extra from The Power of Salad that is a crazy animated movie with 13 Monsters playing?

HaydenAsche · 04.22.2006, 08:01 PM

No. I've never even heard of it.

nomadicfollower · 04.22.2006, 08:05 PM

You should. It's a really cool tour documentery with the band. They even play in some guys kitchen and get the cops called on them.

HaydenAsche · 04.22.2006, 08:10 PM

That is so freaking rad. I'll have to find it online tonight.

!@#$%! · 04.22.2006, 08:10 PM

fuck fuck fuck fuck

i watched the power of salad & got some mp3s and i ordered a ton of stuff from load records

unfortunately the order was lost so i haven't got anything yet!!!!

ooooh sweeet vinyl!!! come to me now!!!!!!

then i'll post my opinion.

nomadicfollower · 04.22.2006, 08:20 PM

I know there's a torrent on Demenoid that's where how I first saw it.

!@#$%! That sucks....Hope it comes soon. What albums did you order?

dazedcola · 04.22.2006, 08:22 PM

i love lightning bolt

I was completly blown away when i heard "hypermagic mountain" every song on it is great, especially those longer tracks like "mohawk windmill" and "dead cowboy". I really want to see them do tracks from that record live.

The power of sald is a cool dvd too. Those animated features are awesome to watch plus it was cool seeing lightning bolt play in someone's kitchen !

!@#$%! · 04.22.2006, 08:50 PM

oh it wasnt a ton-ton actually but it FEELS like it

hypermagic mountain + ride the skies LPs
+
lightning bolt cd

i can't fucking wait!!!

and im re-renting power of salad from greencine (who else would have it?). but i might buy it-- even if i never buy dvds-- it's awesome-- & the animations are fucking great!!

HYPERMAGIC MOUNTAIN!@

nomadicfollower · 04.22.2006, 10:20 PM

Hey RIPfrey05, you ever download the Futurist? I upped it in that thread.

youthoftomorrow · 04.23.2006, 01:55 AM

i have only heard Hypermagic Mountain all the way through and a handful of mp3s, so i will not vote.

but, i do fucking love what i've heard. "Ride the Sky" is one of the most insane songs ever recorded.

PAULYBEE2656 · 04.23.2006, 04:30 AM

EXACTLY!!!

right now a close second is their s/t debut, juist because it's so huge

sonikold · 04.23.2006, 01:36 PM

i'm listening to the black pus album right now to block out my roommate's terrible music. LB makes me want to smash stuff.

nomadicfollower · 10.03.2007, 07:02 PM

A reminder.
I'd almost forgotten about them.
Any new material soon?

they took time off to record the new album, hopefully it will be released this fall or maybe winter.

atsonicpark · 10.03.2007, 10:49 PM

Was huge into this band when Wonderful Rainbow came out.

Definitely reccomend Power of Salad.

Their best album? Hmm... Hypermagic Mountain is good but it has a few throwaways, Wonderful Rainbow falls apart near the end, Ride the Skies can be a bit much, I'll go with self-titled, thank you!

1. Self-Titled
2. Hypermagic
3. Wonderful
4. Ride

But they're all good.
