uh sorry, there is the mater of the new Ace Of Base album coming out...

 

[joyfulgirl]

okay

Of course I realized later that the logic I used to shame you into buying the CD was completely flawed in that my friends still only paid for it once. But hey, whatever works.

U2's album will be taking that spot, thank you.

And could be album of the decade on top of it.

Nice try, though.

if we get HTDAAB part dos

then we're in for a surprise

 

[Zoomerang96]

are you kidding me?

htdaab is good in your books?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I think xavi was being sarcastic... his dislike for 2000 + U2 is well known...

its 2004

2000 was great

ATYCLB

 

[lazarus]

Kind of a pointless joke; it's pretty clear at this point that HTDAAB 2 is not what we're going to get.

ATYCLB

For some reason I thought you didn't like ATYCLB either

[Zoomerang96]

atyclb was quite painful too.

 

[lazarus]

It was more painful.

 

[xaviMF22]

It was more painful.

HTDAAB is like over sweetened candy. At first it's awesome and you love it! But you get sick of it pretty soon. It's an album of instant gratification and no staying power. ATYCLB has it's flaws too but is a grower. I find myself preferring ATYCLB to HTDAAB by quite a bit these days. That's my opinion anyway.

completely agree, except HTDAAB tastes like ass nowadays

I think its time for another ATYCLB appreciation thread

You could easily make the reverse argument, considering ATYCLB is more poppy.

I just think HTDAAB has more balls. Guitar wise it's a better album, even if some of the parts are a bit too familiar.

I agreez.

More unforgiveable, I just feel like it's a bunch of songs that don't really fit or belong together. At least ATYCLB seemed to flow or have some cohesion to me.

 

[Lancemc]

What is this U2 talk doing in my Lemonade Stand.

out.

OUT!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

ok.. I was under the impression by a couple of posters here that the cd version of IR is better than the downloaded version... wtf.. I can't tell the difference, it's identical to me and my hubby who is a musician (guitar player) and has the ear for these kind of details that most would not catch..

 

[Dalton]

Is your husband old?

 

[Zoots]

Okay I got it! Can't wait to prepare the jewel case.

ETA:

That was fun.

 

[lazarus]

I put my sticker on the inside cover, so the words on the front are backwards.

Who's alternative now, Radiohead?

 

[Irishteen]

You guys actually made a jewel case? I didn't bother, now I have a bunch of stickers I have no idea what to do with.

 

[impy13]

Color my underwhelmed with the packaging for the vinyl.

I wonder if the discbox vinyl was any better.

 

[Zoots]

Niiice!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Is your husband old?

um no he isn't.


care to fill me in on the differences there dalton? I would like to know.. I mean we listened to both and compared thru very nice Bose speakers on the computer..

 

[Dalton]

Does he work around or operate loud power tools?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Does he work around or operate loud power tools?

FUCK NO!!!






<<< wonders when dalton is going to enlighten her on the differences..

 

[Dalton]

Ok final question (well two) was he born with any sort of hearing loss or wear a hearing aide?

I also agree, except that I actually always preferred ATYCLB to HTDAAB. I haven't listened to HTDAAB since the November it came out except once when an FYMer convinced me to pull it out and give it a fresh listen. So I did, and that time I actually almost hated it instead of the blah way I normally felt about it. ATYCLB at least meant something to me because of what was going on in my life at the time so I'll always have a soft spot for it.
