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.

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?

Definitely my favorite on the new album by far!

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?

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

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."

After 3 times through this song is my favorite, and yes, I instantly thought of Bon Jovi as well.

there's a little bit more going on in this then the Bon Jovi intro

am I sensing some anti-Jovi sentiment here?

If your gonna quote the great Jonathan Bon Jovi, get his sweet words right :thumbsup:

Funny stuff! Steel horse.... interesting.  I'm not going to delve into the great Jonathan's or for that matter Richard Sambora's back catalog.  However, I am going to have Tropics on repeat and look forward to a live version on the stream tomorrow night.

Bon Anchobie sucks and this song sounds nothing like Dead or Alive not even the intro at least to my ears . Hahaha The Jovists! That was awesome
Title: Re: TROPICS
Post by: debbie on May 09, 2015, 02:34 AM
My thoughts exactly.  When I heard those guitar riffs toward the end...instant favorite.  I'm having a hard time with some of the other songs though.  Hopefully they will grow on me in the future.
