Just got that Blackout vinyl
Lionel.
He's another one of those weirdos who uses the phone app without disabling the thread images.
What is this, 2014?
Also I can't believe there's anybody who uses the desktop forum without switching to the classic blue crack version.
I wish you could switch the app to blue

I only see Interference through the Tapatalk app. Hasn’t been blue for years.
I LOVE the thread images. They all look so hilarious and out of context when seen together.

Wow that was almost like a good Blur record. Didn't know he had it in him. Even the Liam album isn't too bad, though I hated Beady Eye.

So I picked up the Blackout RSD single. The Jacknife Lee Remix is interesting. I can’t tell you more because I only listened to it once...

From U2Start
One of our site members just heard Summer Of Love: "Super Ed Sheeran-ish guitar work by Edge, feels like single number 3, vocally and melodically it feels like a extension of Ordinary Love
Some lyrics from Summer of Love!
The winter
Doesn’t want you
It haunts you
Summer serenadings
A long way
From this frozen place
Your face
Our teacher
Our preacher
It’s nature
And like flowers growing in a bomb crater
From nothing
A rose
It grows

The Ordinary Love comparison dampens my excitement about this song a bit. I like the lyrics however.

I go to gay bars so I don’t have to listen to Ed Sheeran.

Me too but that’s just one listeners interpretation. Ones Ordinary Love is another’s Elevation is another’s Still Haven’t Found.
We shall see in:

Im no Ordinary Love fan, but I think they may be trying to get across the acoustic driven sound of it. Been called bouncy, light, catchy.
I’m fine with that style, it doesn’t mean it sounds similar to Ordinary Love.
Still think it will be one of the strong songs on the album.

Anyone more versed in Ed Sheeran guitar sound? What do u think that means? Sort of finger picking acoustic style? I haven’t paid enough attention to him to really know.
Pretty cool lyrics though.

Ed Sheeran? Finger picking? That guy basically is exclusively a chord strummer.

Like I said, I haven’t a clue. So strumming. Also strumming in Ordinary Love. And like 9 million other songs. Not putting too much into the description I guess.

One guy makes a comparison and the whole place freaks out
Again, I think we need to wait until we hear the whole album. I mentioned it earlier, but the quote that sticks with me is when Bono quotes Noel Gallagher saying:
"Oh I get it, Songs of Innocence is about Experience, and Songs of Experience is about Innocence."
It made me think of the serious, somber, more reflective tone of SOI, and from what we have heard of SOE and the interviews, it's more pop-oriented, fresh, lighter. Could be part of the grand plan that ties it all together.
And again, Bono said "At the back end of Experience, you can gain Innocence again." I think that may refer to "writing as if you're dead."
Doesn't mean the songs will be great, but maybe gives a little context to what we are hearing?
