What!!! Explain!!! Cool!!!
As for there being “complete shit” on Pop... lol no. Nothing even comes close to being shit.

Did I suggest otherwise? I was questioning that they are "pretty much already playing it", when no, the two songs really aren't identical at all.
This is nonsense.
Take You Down became three separate songs: The Fly, LWTSH, and UV. A bit of Zoo Station in there too. LWTSH is pretty much a link between The Fly and UV, sure, and has similarities to each, but the most obvious traits went to The Fly.
This! Tell more!

We have some new ones from Bono in the RS interview:
"Frank Sinatra singing on the moon"
"A sci-fi torch song"
Hahahahaha.

Here's the interview:

So it's not just me, right? Many of those lyrics come off as really bad.

Yeah, the stuff from "Get Out Of Your Own Way" is really wordy.

We do have confirmation (confirmed rumor?) that the opening track on the album is "Love Is All We Have Left". Don't think we knew that before.

It doesn't read very well on the page.
It is the first Abraham Lincoln reference in U2 history, though.

Fight back, don't take it lying down you've got to bite back.
The face of liberty is starting to crack,
She had a plan until she got a smack in the mouth
And it all went south like freedom.
The slaves are looking for someone to lead 'em,
The master's looking for someone to need him.
The promised land is there for those who need it most
And Lincoln's ghost says get out of your own way.
Yikes. Starting to miss daft shit like butter on toast and digging moles, those lyrics are bad, up there with Depeche Mode's Where's the Revolution.
I cannot wait until he manages to fit his lame very good is the enemy of great soundbite into a song, because at this rate it's a'coming...

Somehow those lyrics read even worse seeing them formatted like that.

Just remember, these are the lyrics he chose to highlight.

The Phoenix show was fantastic last night, you guys. The band seemed eager to get back out there and rock after their unexpected St. Louis cancellation. Lots of coworkers today telling me they loved it, they cried, it was worth going to bed at 2:00 am, etc.
Couple of notes:
--Beck was so far superior to the Lumineers. You already knew that.
--I don't remember the LA show starting so late. U2 did not go on until around 9:30. It was a late night for a Tuesday. At the end, Bono said, "Good night! Go to bed!" I've never been at a show where the crowd so wanted to get into the show but was also obviously tired. People didn't want to sit down (most of my section stood the whole time), but the rocking out was subdued.
--The Best Thing sounded decent live. There was no mass exodus. People were vibing to it.
--People seemed shocked by Exit, which was a highlight again for me. I think people forget that U2 are not just a pop band, but a rock band too.
--It was my sister's first U2 show. She was surprised at how amazing they sounded. Bono's voice was strong, and he sang a lot of parts that I've often heard him phone in either with talking or letting the crowd sing.
Maybe I'll think of more later. Gotta go to a meeting. *falls asleep*
