MERGED-->LAPOE! + Love and Peace or Else

[whackjester]

I'm going to be the total minority here and say that it's my least favorite tune on the whole album. I'm not just saying that to stir up emotions, I really mean. I guess I'm gonna go back and listen to it some more; maybe I'll change my mind.

It's got some Glam Rock rythms going on. A pissed off T Rex on Speed!!

Odd! Well, hopefully you'll see the light and be able to gush on about LAPOE with the rest of us.

Is it just me or does LPOE remind you of INXS's song, "Mystify" ?!

 

[starsgoblue]

Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller? Ferris Bueller?

 

[shart1780]

This song reminds me so much of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes.

 

[Phuzzie_the_camera_girl]

The whole world needs to hear this song.

You must be on something, man.

 

[shart1780]

You can't see the similarities? It's got the same groove!

 

[Jack In The Box]

LAPOE is the darkest song in this album, just for that... rocks

has an AB style

 

[starsgoblue]

Same with Mystify!

The first time my sister listened to LAPOE she said that it reminded her of an INXS song. She didn't mention which one specifically though.

Yay! I'm not crazy after all!

 

[alh77]

sounds like something Led Zeppelin would've done....not just because Blender said it...

 

[shart1780]

You mean you're not the only one who's crazy

 

[starsgoblue]

You mean you're not the only one who's crazy

Point taken. And duely noted.

 

[mofo82]

I can hear a little bit of Softcell's 'Tainted Love' within the opening minute and bass line...maybe I'm the crazy one

 

[starsgoblue]

Yes. Yes you are. Kev...how can YOU not hear what I hear?!

 

[mofo82]

I just went back and listened to Mistify. I can definitely hear it...but only as long as you hear Tainted Love

LAPOE is the customary U2 "skip song" in the album, where listeners would rather skip it when they playback the album. It's what Bullet The Blue Sky is to Joshua Tree, or Miami is to POP, or New York is to ATYCLB -- a skip song.

It sounds overly produced, too industrial to have sounds that can be reproduced live onstage, so many parts without drums, too many synths. Its a poor attempt by U2 to be a goth industrial rock band.

Cheers,

J

BTBS skip song? BTSB or LAPOE or NY for that matter being the same as Miami. Brilliant.

[angel_28]

OMG Lapoe is the best song!!!!..i love that song so much..its my abolute fav song so far!!

 

[TCUFrog]

skip song? wtf have u been smoking? btbs a skip song??? new york a skip song??? lapoe is fucking brilliant! who says they'll use all the sounds on the album version when they play it live? i bet they'll take it into a new and even better direction when they perform it.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

I'm thinking Jick has a problem with anything remotely non-trad...

 

[TCUFrog]

i'm thinking jick likes to shit on everyone else's positivity about u2.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

He's a funny fellow, but he occasionally goes too far

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Horrifying idea: Bono does a snippet of Black-Eyed Peas at the end of this song on the tour.

but within the realm of possiblity - seriously
I like the idea of L&POE as an opener for the tour
v.v.v. excellent song

I've been reading everyone's reviews and living off of the little bit I downloaded....Vertigo and the 1 minute intro of LAPOE. I've listened to just the intro so many times and I love that...I couldn't wait any longer, and I'm currently downloading the full version.
