When I hear Crazy Tonight, I'm embarrassed for the band, embarrassed as a fan, and embarrassed for anyone who actually claims to like it.
It's not their worst song, but it is without a doubt their cheesiest and most shameless attempt to create a hit.

Aw, laz. You can be embarrassed for me, it's okay. I'll just continue to whistle the song's jaunty melody that gets stuck in my head every time I try to resist it.

I don't have a hard time resisting it, since I only listen to my custom disc of No Net.
Which actually includes Stand Up Referee, strangely. I don't find it quite as intolerable even if it's an inferior song.

I don't hate it as much as some do, but it's my least favorite on the album and I'm really glad they haven't trotted it out in concert.
What gets me is that I love the line "stand up to rock stars." And it works so well as a band slogan on a shirt. Which I finally caved and bought, despite my mere tolerance of the song.

I'm sure GAF is off being GAF, but in case he cruises back through:
Britney's album has leaked.

I'm not really a fan of that; I think that type of self-referntial stuff should have been left back with the previous two albums. It really doesn't fit on No Net.
One could say a similar thing about Swing, but it has a little more poetry to it and isn't so Up With People.

I can't disagree with some of that; it definitely doesn't fit in with the rest of the album. But I don't mind self-referential lyrics.
I really love Breathe.

It's so clear what songs they wrote without Eno and Lanois: the middle three and Breathe. And naturally, it came out as two throw aways, a song they didn't figure out till they played it live, and one actual good take.
Seems about right for the last decade.

I don't care much for the line of "The DNA lotto may have left you smart/but can it stand up to beauty/dictator of the heart." Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like it's saying that being beautiful is better than being smart. Which bugs me.

Stand Up Comedy could have been a decent rock song if Edge didn't mail it in. That song should have taken off with a kick ass, soaring solo, and instead we got that. Brutal.
I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed in Bono or Edge for NLOTH.

There's a bunch of lyrics that I don't like or don't make sense in that song.
But it's got that one line going for it, so .... yay, I guess.

Oh, a vaporizer. I've heard about them, but sadly, we did not have them around during my (brief) smoking days.
Pity. I think I would have quite enjoyed that method.

It's healthy. Would have made me feel a lot better about marijuana if I'd liked it.

You know what..I like stand up comedy too. I'm not sure why I rate that album so low.

If you like that song, then yeah, you should be rating that album pretty damned high. Because it's unquestionably one of the two worst songs on there.

I got really low when I heard the album, for whatever reason, and I've been judging it by those standards ever since. Shocknhgly enough, Magnificent might be my least favorite song on there.

I'm not on board the OMG Magnificock is AMAZING train, as I feel it's Shuttlecock on auto-pilot in many ways, but it's still better than Cock Crazy and Stand Up Referee.

On another topic entirely, Ragged Glory is everything I love about Neil Young and nothing that I don't. I'm not sure why every song is 6+ minutes long though.
