for those of you outside the US ... this is pretty much standard procedure nowadays for new albums (mtv's the leak). i've seen everything from britney spears to the newest cure album on there...
 
I am a huge u2 fan I and cant wait to listen to the album, but I am going to be patient and wait till the damn album comes out on November 23. There is nothing like listening for the first time an album in top quality unadultered by online streaming bullshit. Its sad that U2 has to stoop low and let MTV and Vh1 which doesnt show any U2 or any videos for that matter, play their album.

In the whole scheme of things its no big deal, but I'm waiting.

Paul.
 
I listen and recorded the album. They were playing it online on this radio station from chicago. I gotta say, it's no JT or AB but they sure made one heck of an album. Love peace of Else is really good. I can see it now. A music video if that song with images from the war in Iraq. A man and a woman, defenitely a make out song. Al Because of you is awsome. Im not being cheap by the way. Im buying the deluxe, limited, and the import with the extra track. So don't say that Im not loyal. On the contrary!
