Everyone talk about how they created the three best albums of the 21st century.

I just... don't get it.

I've listened to all three albums over and over and I still can't see past it just being mindless noise.

:(.

In comparison to other 'noise', Lightning Bolt themselves said it, "we play, like, classic rock". It's pretty true when looking at noise in general.

Great band. I still need to get Ride the Skies though.

Hypermagic Mountain is the only album I have by them, and I love it. I don't see how anyone could see it as noise, it's so rhythmic and catchy compared to like...Boredoms and **** like that.

I don't see anything 'noise' about Lightning Bolt. Prurient is noise. Lightning Bolt is the future of music.

Lightning Bolt didn't do Songs for the Deaf, though their music is kinda fitting for that title.

Not the three best of albums of the 21st century.

Wonderful Rainbow is the only good one.

playing at 3,000 watts is ridiculous.

Great band. I love them because when I listen to them, it's impossible to wander off. So much stuff is happening and changing and everything is just going crazy and it's amazing.

Magic Mountain is all buildup is it's ****ing amazing.

2 Towers uses almost entirely two notes and it's ****ing amazing.

lightning bolt are not a noise band... noise bands are bands like hair police, 16 bitch pile up, double leopards and some boredoms... not much though. ( i dont like many noise bands)

lightning bolt are one of my favourite bands... ride the skies is the best album in my opinion.. although i think all of them are awesome (including the self titled album which has not been mentioned in this thread)

They pretty much need to play more shows so I can see them. Next time they come to PA or MD it's on boyee.

I have trouble finding out when/where their gigs are. Whenever I do it's usually a shitty time for me. It won't happen again though.

Just heard some samples, I'd give it a B+, but I'd have to hear some more.

Cool beans.

I missed them as well when they played, it was at a small venue, downstairs at a bar I believe. I was pissed.
