You've heard GET ON YOUR BOOTS? - Post all thoughts, reviews, discussion HERE Part 3 - Page 11

Bean Skidds · 01-19-2009, 12:05 PM

Reading the reviews, Im surprised how polarizing this song is. Alot of people either totally love it or think its the biggest piece of crap ever. There are people in between obviously, but the number at the opposite ends is interesting.

For me, I dont like it. I like my songs challenging, and no, I didnt want an "accessible" single. So dont dismiss me as "you dont get it" or "youre just a casual fan". The mix of the elements in the song just isnt working for me, I'll leave it at that.

I honestly think people here 'need' to like this song, like part of themselves would be destroyed if they don't like something their favourite band in the whole world produced. It's especially obvious for those going too far and saying its the best single U2 has released etc. Let's try and be realistic people.

Last thing I want on the forum is a sparring match- you've got great taste, dude! I know this!

Thanks

But I never said "best single", I said "best lead single"

I wanna hear it live

THEN it'll blow my mind, I know that for sure

especially the breakdown

Mods are like cops, they just come from the ground almost.

Congrats on your 1000 posts btw.

Right. So then you're instantly comparing it to WOWY

No worries man, back to debating a solid song!!!

Ok, so it reminds me of vertigo and fast cars in the way Bono is playful in the lyrics (nothing particularly new there). But, what interests me more is this new sound I am hearing, it sounds very complex, fresh and interesting - a bit like the zooropa days. I can't wait to to hear the album.

It's so hard for you guys to deal with someone that likes something you don't?
Just asking.

I really like it. Definitely a little similar to Xanax and Wine. I also hear strains of Hold Me Thrill me Kiss Me Kill me.

HansaTonImbiss · 01-19-2009, 12:08 PM

Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.

ybab gnuthca · 01-19-2009, 12:08 PM

Yeah, I don't get why people are so obviously frustrated by negative comments regarding this. It's music, some will like it, some will love it, some will hate it, and some will just say meh. No reason to start attacking each other personally.

When I compare it to WOWY... I'm saying that I enjoy more listen to Boots. Cause I think it's really weird to compare those songs musically. I wasn't clear on that, sorry. Of course, there will be moments in my life I'll enjoy WOWY more. But Boots is just good at almost any time.

**Diemen** · 01-19-2009, 12:09 PM

And would they be wrong if they actually prefer pickled cucumbers?

one4u2 · 01-19-2009, 12:11 PM

Why is the drum riff / musical part reminding me of a 70s porn movie?
