Opportunity Nox
Stupid
Making love to you
Better off on her own
Blablablablabla
Little miss sorrow
I think some of them are mostly ballads like Making love..., Better off....,Blabla...
I love Little Miss Sorrow the best of !
Jackeill said on March 19, 2003 14:51:
btw it would be a better single than on, it’s not POP song this is a ROCK one...
Kiwein1 said on March 19, 2003 15:38:
Well, MLTY and BlaBla are not really Up-tempo-songs...
LMS also is more mid-tempo than up-tempo!
I love MLTY although it is a ballad. They should have kicked Breathe from TBH and put MLTY on it *g*. Marie sings soo nice.
BlaBla also belongs on TBH IMHO.
LMS is way better than ON for a single.

I think that LMS is the stand out song from the new ones. Fantastic!!!! Just what I was hoping for.

Stupid is the best song of Gessle’s solo album. But I think with ROX-version it’s gotta be the best as it sounds.

Is there anywhere on the internet I can hear these songs? - thanks, Rich

I die for “Makin love to you”!!! Marie’ s singing that song so BRILLIANT!!! =P Best ballad since “M&T&H” (although it’ s on “Pop Hits”).

little miss sorrow: damn awesome incredibly beatles
blah blah: per needs to write a soundtack :)
making love: after about 6 listens i am in love with it
stupid : only cause mrie is in it but overall its boring
NOX: weak song its ok tho
i wish per would do another solo english ablum
animalkingdom said on March 20, 2003 16:54:
Makin’ love to you has a great part in the middle...And Per’s doing great in that one, too. Marie shows her skills at the end but otherwise she’s singing very off key! I can’t believe it - or was the song meant to have melodies for both the music and the vocals? ;)
It starts brilliantly: love the instruments! :)
Otherwise my fav would be LITTLE MS SORROW.
Stupid & Better Off aren’t new, are they? Wish they would have included the COY remix instead! :(

Thumbs up for:
- Little Miss Sorrow
- Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart)
Thumbs down for:
- Opportunity Nox
- Making Love To You
Opportunity Nox wasn’t the best choice for the single.

I really like Making Love To You - it’s the only new Marie vocal we got :-(
I do like Little Miss Sorrow and Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla
Stupid the “roxette” version is a waste of space on the cd - I just don’t like it. Marie should have sang some of it OR we should have had another new song in it’s place.
Marie-fan said on March 24, 2003 21:31:
Little Miss Sorrow A great song.
Making love to you Marie is singing so wonderful.
gyllene_tjej said on March 24, 2003 21:34:
For me in that order:
BLA BLA BLA!!!!!!
LMS
Opportunity nox
Better off
Stupid
making love

I’m very disapointed. (but then you’d all expect me to say that anyway!)
LMS might grow on me but I’m not impressed with the fact that I now have a copy of TBH volume 2.
Stupid......was it really worth re-recording it? bring back TWATG version.
I’m wondering what the thinking is .....when you have Church Of Your Heart and Run To You more uptempo and more pop than most of the new tracks.
Maybe I expect too much these days.
Still Gessle has some fine lyrics as ever, maybe I’m just hard to please but of all the new songs I still like Opp Nox the best.
Anyway, it seems I am the only person to have this opinion so I will fade away into my little corner again and try and improve my liking of the new trax, perhaps someone could brainwash me? coz I seem to have lost a little faith in my favourite duo.
:.........(
Pix in the booklet are nice though, something for me to cheer about! :)
marcusvandeursen said on March 25, 2003 00:15:
HOT: LITTLE MISS SORROW, BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA
?: OPPORTUNITY NOX, MAKING LOVE TO YOU
NOT: STUPID... ONLY DUE TO THE FACT IT ISN’T REALLY A RE-RECORDING BUT ONLY AN EDITED VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL
Jackeill said on March 25, 2003 00:54:
to Vix and others: hey stop complaining! you say you are disapointed? these tracks wasn’t meant to be NEW. they aren’t NEW. tracks from ep are BONUS. who said that they should be new, fresh, uptempo and good? i’m happy i have lms on pop hits and happy that i have bla bla bla on ep. don’t care about other songs. i’m waiting for per’s solo album or new rox material somewhere in 2004... i pray to God it would be like lms and bla bla bla. cos these songs are everything i wanted from roxette for last 8 years. they are fucking great and that’s all.

After hearing the songs for a bit, I have to say that I am in love with ’Making Love To You’ and ’Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla’. Even though they’re ballads, it’s really nice. The melodies of both songs and vocals are amazing!
’Little Miss Sorrow’ and ’Stupid’ are also nice, but they don’t make me want to skip tracks to hear them like the other two do.
Cheers,
Salvation7-20-7

LMS will grow on you... it’s the song i liked most since... well, countless ages.
fireworks said on March 25, 2003 04:37:
I think the intro (40 secs) to Making Love to You is the best ever for a ballad....Marie’s voice shines....WOW
WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? It is simply the best!
What is everyone complaining about?
Vixzter said on March 25, 2003 07:30:
@Jakeill - well I’m affraid the songs aren’t all I’ve wanted from Rox, just my opinion, knew I’d get flamed for it, don’t know why I bothered.
Thought long and hard wether I should reply or not, chose too, won’t botther in the future.
@Ferdan - LMS is growing on me a bit but not as much as Opp Nox did in the first few days.
I’m sorry if I don’t share everyones elses opinion, maybe I’m a bad Roxette fan or something. ;) If I was that bad surely I would have just downloaded the songs and not brought the album....but no I waited til I could buy the disc b4 even listening to them. :P
Got a long trip out in my car today, will take my Pop Hits and see if I can brainwash myself ;)
Quite like Bla Bla Bla.....appart from the Bla Bla Bla bits!
Gesslemaniac said on March 25, 2003 08:36:
I have got 2 VLEAR favourites - actually I fell in love with them, the very first time I heard them... (wich was on the night before the official release, here in Denmark) & they are :
Bla Bla Bla Bla (You Broke My Heart)
&
Makin’ Love To You
What more can I say, than they fit both Per & Marie so well !!??? Marie sings SOO GOOD in MLTY...
About the other tracks, I say, that appart from Better Of On Her Own... (wich I do like, but don’t think is better than the demo version by Per) they are all some of the best, I’ve heard from Rox !!!!!
Btw... Am I the only one, who’s thinking : “Hmm, Stupid should have been like that on TWATG” ?????
Rox ARE BACK... : )
roxtexanet said on April 2, 2003 16:21:
Finally got to hear all of the new songs...
“Opportunity Nox” is still by far my favourite, but “BBBBBB” is also just brilliant in my opinion... I’m surprised that such a polished song would end up on a bonus EP... feels like it deserves a place on an album. In any case, I think “LMS” is great, but not as good as the first two I mentioned... on the other hand, I think it will keep my interest longer than the other two, which are basically bubble gum - it’s too soon to tell! I hear nothing wrong in “Makin’ Love To You” (with respect to Marie singing off key or whatever), but it’s definitely one of the weirdest Roxette songs. Nice harmonising in the lead-up to the bridge, though!
Jackeill said on March 19, 2003 14:50:
lms kix ass that’s the song i was waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great verses, powerful chorus, fine lyrics - reminds me of gyllene tider in 90s [harplinge, juni juli augusti] and sdhla :) my favourite :)
