After so many years, albums, and shows, Lightning Bolt have grown into one of the fiercest bands on the planet.
Oblivion Hunter recaptures missing pieces of the Lightning Bolt jigsaw and reconfigures them in a new context
Lightning Bolt often seem as if they are just frenetic energy, which is fun for a little while, but it gets boring pretty soon.
This less of a record and more of a collection of practice room recordings and half thought out ideas that would make a good companion piece for a die-hard fan of the Lightning Bolt discography
not the most consistent lightning bolt project, but i still do love it. it sounds like a lesser version of Earthly Delights, which, yeah it's lesser, but coming from the noisy psychedelic Earthly Delights, it really can't be bad. thumbs up
There are a few tracks on Lightning Bolt's "Oblivion Hunter" EP that capture that noisy brilliance that has carried over from album to album... to a fault. There's also the rest of the tracklist, which suffers from a lack of new ideas and a hefty amount of repetition.
