Frenzy
Rumors have persisted concerning the release of an improvisational album entitled Frenzy.[3][4][5] A post on Lightning Bolt's official website in early 2004 read "The next Lightning Bolt album, Frenzy, is currently in the works over at Load Records. It is expected to be available at the end of the summer."[6] No further word was given, and the next Lightning Bolt album released was Hypermagic Mountain in 2005. In an early 2007 interview, Chippendale said "When it comes to weird improv stuff, sometimes we're just at a weird stalemate."[4] No official word has since been released.
