Did I miss something? Why all the hate on Coldplay? I don't think they are the 2nd coming of the Beatles, but are they THAT bad?
Yes, my friend.... they are that bad.

9. "White As Snow"
? - identical with the working title track "Winter" (white snow = winter), so we do know more about it.
? - Q-source: "featuring a fine Bono lyric about a soldier in an unspecified war zone, surrounded by a deceptively simple rhythm track and an evocative string arrangement courtesy of Eno"
? - Q-magazine: "6 minute ballad. Echoes of Simon & Garfunkel in this poignant, acoustic string laden ballad about a soldier in the snow of Afghanistan. Will appear in the new film Brothers starring Tobey Maguire about the emotional fallout of the war. Edge on backing vocals with Bono for "Winter"."
? RS-article: "lovely discarded ballad"
? - Independent: "a stark, stripped back and striking tune with imploring vocals"
? - u2tour.de: "This quiet and short track leads almost the end of the album"; "starts with an atmospheric electronic noise, through which the sound of a soulful acoustic guitar sets"; "it is expected formally supporting the voice of Johnny Cash, but Bono is using his voice here similarly intense". "The song is about forgiveness and how your own brother can become a stranger to you". "Musically reminiscent in parts of "Springhill Mining Disaster""
? Brunocam: "Atmospheric acoustic ballad, about a soldier lost in snow in Afghanistan. "Where I came from there were no hills at all / The land was flat, straight highway and the wider / My brother and i would drive for hours" recalls Bono, travel by the mind of a soldier lost in their memories, in an epic track."
? Perfectly Cromulent: "Piano playing a lullaby. Spare, Johnny Cash guitar. This is what "The Wanderer" might have been like had he recorded it. Intro sounds like the Necks. Bono does Nick Cave. A murder ballad: "My brother and I would drive for hours" / "The water was icy, the road refuses strangers"/ "They were hunting in the woods". Hypnotically slow narration. I can see this rapidly becoming one of my favourite ever U2 songs. Like nothing they've ever done. Please make a bare-bones country album one day."
you know, one thing that i just thought about is, didn't the actor say that this film would be 90 minutes?
if so, let's say the 3 extra tracks average 5 minutes each, that only brings us to around 70 minutes. so what's going on with the extra 20 minutes? no music?
Moment of Surrender could go on for another 20 minutes if it was up to me. One of the best songs ever.

what if this ends up turning into an alternate/extended NLOTH album?
maybe this is the double album...
