Get On Your Boots Appreciation Thread

[AtomicBono]

Yes, I'm serious. I still love it. In fact, I think it took me over 100 listens to honestly say that I love it. But I haven't skipped it on a single listen of NLOTH.

When I'm listened to the album 100 times I'll get back to you on the other songs.

 

[MMP]

10/10 tune. It's on my U2 top ten.
But I really don't think it fits that well in NLOTH as some people said. Maybe that's because I knew the song already and when it started I wasn't paying attention cause I was all expecting SUC to start.

 

[angel_28]

I love it too.....damn why am I not asleep yet?
Boots I loved it from the first listen ...and I still do

I am SO SCREWED!! have to be up in 5 hours.

But I still love boots....

 

[gweeps]

Should have been a b-side, considering how it stacks up to the rest of the album.

They could have spliced the "let me in the sound" part into FEZ-Being Born...

 

[ShipOfFools]

You know, I was completely thrown when I first heard GOYB, I liked it but was a little let down.

Listening to it in this album, though, brought new appreciation for me. I love it now, and it fits perfectly in the album.

 

[AtomicBono]

thank you guys for taking the thread seriously

Boots rocks.

 

[ozeeko]

The key to enjoying this track is to listen to it as if it was the intermission of NLOTH. And i think Stand Up Comedy could also be an intermission track. Then Fez-Being Born brings it all right back.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I really like Boots. I was never a hater.

And I think it's a great jolt of adrenaline right in the 2nd half of the album.

I love the song. I think it works great on the ablum.

from Fitz.

 

[silenus]

I only wish it had the intro they used at the Grammy's

 

[last unicorn]

I skipped it when I listened to the album for the first time

I know I'm bad. But I was impatient.

Listening to it again I also listened to Boots and I must say it FITS. It's well positioned on the album.

Still love the song. Of course all the others are more exciting to me right now.

...I loved that part.

 

[God Part III]

I didn't skip it.

In fact I'm listening to it right now.

Still one of my favourites (beats the crap out of Stand Up Comedy, too)

 

[boystupidboy]

Boots... i quite like it now (how the hell did that happen ?)

After listening to the whole album quite a few times now i actually like 'Boots'.It seems to fit the album for some bizarre reason.
Maybe because i've hardly listened to it and it sounds fresh....not a bad track

You are a funny boy I told you its better than Crazy tonight

I dont really think it does fit that album tbh, no other tracks on the album suit boots, its a good song dont get me wrong, but the rest of the album makes it look worse.

 

[Niceman]

It's a good song. It fits well on the album.... but it's also probably the 11th best song on it! LOL!

 

[Morgoth321]

I hated GOYB at first, and I still don't like it much. Having listened to the new album all the way through, (IMO) GOYB is easily the worst song on there. But, weirdly (and I can't explain this at all), when listening to the album an an entity, I don't mind listening to GOYB at all. I wouldn't think of listening to it if I just wanted to listen to a song, but in the context of the album as a whole, it works - somehow!

 

[bdogm]

I like listening to this song.

I took a break, but I don't skip it anymore.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I still like it.

The video is still awesome.

 

[cstar]

I love Boots and I like it in the context of the album... its like a wake up call or something...

My thoughts exactly! It sounds better in the context of the album. A nice, fun break from some of the slower, more intense tracks. I'm appreciating it more and more now. I can so see jumping and down to this at a show

 

[AtomicBono]

"Let me in the sound" is one of my favourite parts of the album. Perfectly constructed, and I love Edges' AB-ish solo

 

[alanah]

I still like it.

The video is still awesome.

Same here.

 

[Moser]

Let me in the sound.

I so wanna go there.

 

[cdirani]

The bit let me in the sound is very U2 and spine shivering. With its performance on video it got even better.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

The video gets played on my iPod pretty often.

 

[No Destination]

i thought GOYB was okay...a little too predictable like Vertigo....but now after listening to the whole NLOTH album i cant wait to dance around like a damn fool when this one comes on when i see em in Philly later this year HAHA

[catlhere]

Wow, seems like they're getting better! The whole Boots beat mixed with the country's national anthem is so cool. The song doesn't deserve as much hate as i gets. I'm sad this topic doesn't have more posts either, come on people!!!
