I got on "Boots" this morning! (Single review)

[Irishteen]

Please let's not jump to any conclusions! And also I think it's better not to expect anything even remotely close to Zooropa, Pop or Passengers. I'm expecting a slightly more interesting ATYCLB.

If I expected nothing close to those albums I'd basically be expecting them to make their worst album

I love how everyone has such contrasting views on all the albums on here, always makes things interesting

 

[Jeef690]

Sounds like Larry will have a lot of work to do before they tour

 

[MMP]

If it sounds like I Will Follow... I'll love it
If it sounds like Pride... I'll love it
If it sounds like Desire... I'll love it
If it sounds like The Fly... I'll love it
If it sounds like Lemon... I'll love it
If it sounds like Discothèque... I'll love it
If it sounds like Elevation... I'll love it
If it sounds like Vertigo... I'll love it

If it sounds like nothing that U2 has done before... I'll love it and probably die of happiness hearing it.

Zooropa sucks!!!













j/k

 

[thanksu2]

I can't wait any longer. I need the song right now!!

 

[Rich79]

Anyway, this is NOT U2 by the numbers. This is not a "return to form" or "back to basics". This is, what the kids like to call, some OTHER shit. The 21st Century version of U2 is finally here.

Those were almost my exact thoughts about Vertigo when I first heard it and look how the rest of that album turned out.

 

[purpleoscar]

So he's going to hold on to it until next Monday?

What should it sound like for you to hate it?

we have 4 other beach clips to confirm those thoughts. unknown caller is the most different song they've ever done... if that makes sense

 

[MMP]

Fire (not so good) or NYD (amazing but not good for these days) or Mercy....

 

[Zoots]

He doesn't have the song. The Universal rep played the song for him twice and then took the CD away.

 

[VintagePunk]

haha i did say almost...

It was pretty much two threads a night (of course, threads were 500 posts back then), and sometimes into the third. :memories:

 

[djerdap]

And the beach clip sounds nothing like Vertigo and Elevation.

I respectfully disagree. The beach clip instantly reminded me of these two, especially Vertigo (the talking verses without the guitar, the guitar riff). The lyrics with "sexy boots" kinda give me a "mole digging in a hole" vibe, but I'm not judging it before hearing the whole song.

The John Bonham/Massive Attack sounds do seem interesting. Thanks for the review, skott!

 

[fishlips]

Coldplay?

 

[U2SJ]

Skott, come on, give me a copy

 

[dan_smee]

ok, so 160 posts in 30 mins is 5.33 posts per minute, or a post every 11 and a bit seconds

 

[bigjohn2441]

wow, now this is getting exciting!

Exactly what i'm thinking.

Hmmm your expectations are not very high then. I would be very dissapointed if all we got was a slightly more interesting ATYCLB

 

[LyricalDrug]

leak, mothaf***er, leak!!!!

 

[dan_smee]

Coldplay?

best first post ever

 

[Vlad n U 2]

2 reviews already! I just wanna hear it now!

Though I just feel I haven't digested every bit of info yet.

 

[LemonMelon]

What should it sound like for you to hate it?

ELVIS!

White trash

ELVIS!

The Memphis flash

ELVIS!

Didn't smoke hash...woulda been a sissy without Johnny Cash

 

[Gilead12]

It sounds like the rhythm section is what's going to trip this apart from the Vertigo/Elevation mold.

But really, would Elevation+Vertigo+a slightly edgier sound be so bad?

 

[MMP]

I forgot to say that if it sounds like HMTMKMKM I'll love it and have a stroke as I hear it.
