U2's five star masterpiece (Rolling Stone)

[david]

Received the new RS in the mail today. Their review was excellent. Anyone else get it?

There's probably a thread about it.

Oh well.

Who wrote the review?

Neil McCormick ..... just kidding

 

[Acrobat08]

reviews don't matter to me, It only matters what each of us individually thinks of it in the context of our own tastes in music

plus RS sucks

 

[Catman]

scan, please?

 

[Lila64]

No pic of the article that I could see. Current issue
: Rolling Stone

5 stars will definitely help though -- will get press for years to come because of that.

I'd say it's an ideal critics record. Something with greater depth than U2 has done in many, many years. Critics love that.

This record will last.

transcript?

 

[lazarus]

This thread title is gonna make a lot of people think the review is up, or that it's been transcribed, considering we've known about this since last night.

 

[camiloj]

I strongly agree about this being a Critic's Record. It is not their most accessible release, possibly the most abstract since UF and Zooropa. The kind of thing critics love.

five star review, well where is it? I hate RS with a passion but i wouldnt mind reading the review.

David Fricke

Hmm...that's a good sign. David Fricke has good taste.

 

[dan_smee]

Fricke is usually a pretty fair reviewer. Dying to read this

My scanner is broke.

And I just had to show you guys that AWESOME DRAWING OF THE EDGE....... (see digi cam pics on 1st page)

 

[rantor49]

That is one creepy illustration !!

 

[lazarus]

Thanks for the scans.

And how could someone draw the Edge that badly? it's the fucking EYES! The fucking Mii I made looks better than that.

When did Ali G become frontman of U2?

 

[oceane]

Thanks for scanning, fantastic review

True that we wouldn't expect a very critical U2 review in RS, but still they didn't have to give them 5 stars. That's pretty awesome.

But man that drawing

 

[dan_smee]

really good review. I like Fricke

Tahnks David

 

[digitize]

24 hours ago, I would be extremely excited to have read that review.

Now, I'm just damn excited I have the album itself.

thanks for posting that!!

 

[zoocarolina]

Can someone say album of the year next year the Grammys and if it doesn't win it, it will be a travesty!!! 5 stars, this album just put U2 in a category all their own!

 

[Achtung Billy]

I was really hoping David Fricke would be the one to review this album. Fricke has been around a long time, and I very much respect his opinion. Not to mention he's a really good writer.

 

[Mrs. Garrison]

thanks David

 

[LDM007]

When did Ali G become frontman of U2?

Hahaha... exactly. At least the Bono drawing somewhat resembles him though. Can't say the same for The Edge.
