In your opinion, how does GOYB lack soul when compared to, say...Even Better Than The Real Thing?
If you think the two are even remotely comparable…
I will say this though, Even Better surrounded by Bomb songs would sound a lot more shallow. For sure. But surrounded by the rest of Achtung Baby – both musically and thematically - the breezy song about breezy casual sex suddenly gains a lot of weight. So I will give you this, Boots obviously could still gain or lose a lot based on the album surrounding it. Bomb II means this is Vertigo II. If it’s, say, Pop II (reaching far creatively while trying to keep it grounded commercially... while actually pulling it off this time) then Boots could gain weight.
