TROPICS

[Jackets N Pones]

ON REPEAT

[sb_gli]

yep

[parkervb]

some of the tracks took a few listens to get a feel for but this was instantly a winner for me. It's going to be a live epic.

Sick!  The last two minutes rock and give me the same boost that the greatest instrumental bits from Run Thru, Easy Morning Rebel, Lay Low and Masterplan provide.  Those four songs have my favorite instrumental parts that blow me away every time.  Tropics is on that level.  High praise I know, but Tropics is nuts!

Tropics is gonna be the best live song on this album. 

The 3:10 mark in the song to the end is the quintessential Jacket sound.

Agree with all of this.

Have a feeling this will be the one we are all amped on when played live a few years from now.

Yes, but I'm sort of hoping it won't be a show staple either. Something about hearing one of those lesser-played tunes make them more special. War Begun anyone?

def. my fav track off the album

Definitely my favorite on the new album by far!

100% agree with what everyone has said

I sort of felt this way after seeing them play this live at Headliners last month. A lot of the songs on the new album seem show ready. They could extend out and jam just about all of them, but this song (and possibly "Only Memories Remain") could fit the category of a concert favorite.

This and compound are my favs so far. Someone said teopics sounds like Zeppelin, and it does. This album is throwing me for a goddam loop. I love it, but I have never listened to one of their albums where I kept thinking " whoa, what the hell is THIS!?".

Is anyone concerned that the intro to this song sounds uncomfortably like Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive?

[davymac]

Loving this track too.  Can't wait to hear it live!

Right now it's my favorite track on the album. Pretty awesome to play it loud. Really waiting to see how it goes live!

Easily my favorite track off the album...

Yes.  Exactly.  That is what I heard right away.  The more I listen, the less I think of Bon Jovi (which is a great thing).  Just curious, what the concern is?  Copyright issues?  Or MMJ starting off a song that reminds you of "I'm a Cowboy... in a city I ride... blah, blah, blah."
