I voted for "Strip" as it's one of their strongest messages that they've had in years... The singles from 'Glory Days' were pretty vapid so I thought it was nice that they were going for such a strong message so early into 'LM5'. "Think About Us" is a huge bop but I don't see it going down as one of their classics.

Definitely 'Think About Us'. I agree with comments about it being generic and 'Strip' is really growing on me, but I don't think the latter is a good choice for a single at all.

Maybe what they really should have done is kept 'Is Your Love Enough?' for this album and used that instead?


I like this idea.

think about us - they’ve obviously gone into panic mode because ‘wlm’ didn’t do what they expected it to.
they can’t go too off-kilter now because they don’t want to alienate any further potential buyers.

personally, of the two, i prefer ‘tau’ but overall i think they’d get a bigger hit out of the cure, especially at this time of year.

'Strip' is such a grower in a 'Move' way, sounded incredible on the chart today wub.gif wishing even more that they'd gone for it!

...and Strip already charted at #25, Think About Us only made the midweeks, at this point i'd rather 'The Cure' than 'Think About Us'.

Strip had a music video and was on New Music Friday. You can’t really compare it to Think About Us which had neither of those things. The Cure was also more heavily playlisted as it was released as a grat track earlier in the week.
