    Funny. Sleeping by myself is weakest for me. I actually enjoy MFS especially when listening to the album in full. I enjoy the bridge the most and eddies vocal delivery.

    Yeah, SBM might be at the bottom.

    I shouldn't be so negative.

  2. Why? Negativity and criticism is alright. After all it's all music, and music -like every artistic expression- depends on taste.
  3. I fully agree with you, Sergio, but I never like to under- or overpraise initially.
  4. Lightning Bolt is a better album than Backspacer ... Stone says

    “I’m sure there was some sort of unconscious effort to not create Backspacer 2. We wouldn’t have even needed to talk about that. We know that if we were trying to write another “The Fixer,” we would be wasting our time. I think there’s a maturity that’s continuing to give the band this sense of inhabiting themselves. The band is more comfortable in its skin than it’s ever been. I think we do enjoy each other more. I think we’re more comfortable in the process than we have been in the past. I think we’re also more comfortable with the idea of the uncomfortable records we’ve made and what was cool about them. So maybe there was a slight return to some of the more sort of peculiar things we did, say, between No Code and Binaural. Some of those records in that period of time, we were searching a bit, and we were still figuring out what kind of band…We knew what kind of band we could be from the first three records, but then what kind of other band could we be? And that sort of exploration sometimes works and sometimes maybe didn’t work as well. We’re so thankful that we took that path, because even on the songs that didn’t work as well, we do go back to that territory and it just opens up more possibilities. Our listeners, our fans, are people that are ready to go with us on an experiment that maybe doesn’t quite work but still they can see the possibilities of it and maybe that song ends up being a favorite because once we start playing it we do figure it out. It does become something that, you know, has a real meaning. I think we’re continuing on that path. It’s the variety that we all love, and the quiet songs and the fast songs are both really important. I think that Lightning Bolt, to me, is a better record [than Backspacer]. I think the songwriting is a little more sussed out, I think the arrangements are a little tighter. I think it’s going to be a better record live, that we’re going to be able to play more of the material and really translate.”
    “We’ve played the songs more, it seems. It just seems like they’re simpler arrangements. Foundationally, they really work in a room with five guys playing the music, where Backspacer was good but there was a layering we did that…not all the sounds came across in the same way as they might have on the record. I don’t know whether it’s just because I’m excited about the new record more so than the old record, but I’m really feeling Lightning Bolt right now. I feel like I know all my parts and I’m ready to go out there and play it. I’m feeling confident about it.”
