justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 What is everyone's thoughts on this song? I actually find it to be non-offensive, and it's actually starting to grow on me. Granted, I hate 311 ever since they came out with that awful song "Amber" that everyone loved oh-so-much. But what is everyone's fascination with The Cure as of late? Blink 182 got Robert Smith to sing on "All of This" on their new album, and, surprise, surprise, it's by far the best song on the CD. Hot Hot Heat revels in Cure rip-offery...The Cure are apparently working on a comeback CD... Why has The Cure been on such a roll as-of-late? What are your thoughts on the 311 song?

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 I've been a huge 311 fan since 1995, and even though I prefer their older material, "Love Song" is a very good, faithful cover. I was kind of iffy on it at first, but I really like it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 I am a huge 311 fan. I love the song. Some consider it blasphemy, but the vocals are truely emotive. Plus, it's totally tuned in with the vibe right now: people are sick of negative rock, but feel guilty listening to sugar-pop music. Therein lies the antidote: the reggae vibe.

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 I really like this cover. It's a nice take of the original. 311 has kind of been up and down for me. The album Grassroots was great, one of my favorites. But they've put out some real shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 I don't know if you guys know this, but 311 are releasing a Greatest Hits album (which includes "Lovesong") around June 8th. I know, I know: what hits? I guess "Down," "All Mixed Up," "Don't Stay Home," "Amber," and "Creatures (For a While)" are probably their most recognizable tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
