This is pretty much the only song where I can't understand its cult following. the song would be better if Jon was taking a piss and Lorenza was playing the intro to Who Says you can't go home for 5 solid minuits.



Honestly if they play it at any of my concerts, Im sitting my ass down.
But let's all throw our hands up in the air for the commercial shit that is 'Happy Now'?

Happy Now's miles better than Bullet, seriously. As a hard rock song, Bullet is so obligatory that they might as well have just called it "The Slightly Heavy Song To Appease Our Fans".

Uhm...you mean commercial like Livin' On A Prayer, Keep The Faith, It's My Life...

Happy Now is a great song. I think it would've been a better 1st single than Born To Follow but still in that vein. It's probably my 3rd favourite on the album after Love's The Only Rule and BPL.

No. 'Happy Now' comes out sounding forced and cheesy. Yeah, the rest as you said are cheesy but they had real quality. 'Happy Now' is a song I just can't get on with, and it's shoved in my face as a good song when really I'd be happier listening to 'She's A Mystery'.

Bullet is shite in my opinion. Hard rock my ass. It's a cheesy pop song like most of the "big rock" anthems that BJ have been releasing recently.

It sounds like Bon Jovi trying to do Muse, badly. And that feckin Talkbox is back again.

It’s quite interesting how opinions differ on this board, and yet we are still talking about the same band or song

Anyway, BrokenPromiseland, Bullet and Happy Now are my TOP 3 songs from TC. I’d love to see all of them being played live so I am really glad they finally work on them. For me the more they play those 3 songs the better. TIMS and LOTR are already there and they are outstanding, so for me only those 3 are missing in the set lists as regulars.

Pretty fun to see how everyone were blown away by Bullet when it was released but now everyone seems to hate it !
Decent song, looking forward to hear it in a live version. I hope Jon skips all those annoying "yeah"s.
