Lightning Bolt (the song) should have been a classic. The live renditions, strained as they can be, really elevate, especially towards the end. The studio version barely hints at it.

Wasn't this also the reason Riot Act "sucked" when it came out?

It seemed to me that because the album was lacking in any of the experimental hallmarks of the last couple albums, and fronted by Ed's beleaguered vocals, it somehow felt phoned in. Obviously that's not been the case for a while. But I remember more than one person saying to me something like "How long did this album take them, a week?"

I just remember so many people expecting it to RAWK simply because it was called Riot Act. And when it wasn't a full on thrasher, folks felt mislead and disappointed.
