that's what they lost
 

listen to a section of LOVE IS WAR...(simply great song!!) where jon and richie sing alone : TELL ME WHY LOVE IS WAR/WHAT THE HELL ARE WE FIGHTIN' FOR...

well this is what they lost...this kind of being catchy and HIGHLY POWERFULL

Re: that's what they lost
 

the songs ok i guess. in my book they have probs got more catchy then in the past with crush and bounce.

Aloha !

Jon and Richie didn't like Love Is War, it was one of the first songs they completed writing after the Slippery Tour, and Jon hated it that it had about the same chord progression as Bad Name. I never checked it by the way.

I don't know if they hate it, if so I wonder why they released it as a b-side of a single.

Aloha !

You're right, hate is the wrong word, but I read in an interview that it annoyed him very much, it made them stop writing songs for a while since they were afraid that they lost their touch, and they didn't want to recycle their songs...

Jon is wrong.

"Love Is War" is fantastic,they could use a song or two like that now.

Same here. Love is War and Edge of a Broken Heart both have that BJ sound to it we all know and dig.

i actually dont rate edge of a broken heart, it does nothing for me :?

Aloha !

I think it isn't one of the greatest tracks either.

I have always liked that track, but I think it is very dated. That is probably why I enjoy it so much. It has a totally 80's sound to it. I don't think something like this would do well today, because the times have obviously changed.
