30 Sec Clips of NLOTH!!!! DISCUSSION ONLY (Do not post download links!!)

[Rosebud]

If absolutely nothing else, Bono's voice is on like Donkey Kong!

If something else, I would say it's pretty safe to bet this is NOT going to be a business as usual album.

 

[LyricalDrug]

On Unknown Caller, I guess we get its very end here.

Or is it the very beginning, since the drums kick after the guitar?

 

[gump]

I'm happy to hear sounds that take me back to Zooropa and Passengers. Here's hoping the album is indeed moody.

 

[cdirani]

I think it's the Intro, when Bono sings "sunshineeeeeee".

I could swear it was Edge's vocals here.

 

[Swan269]

no line is sick

 

[Yahweh]

Maybe ill go to walmart to buy the album since they were nice enough to put these clips up

 

[whackjester]

I'm also thinking that the clip of Unknown Caller is the intro, doesn't one of the reviews talk about Bono singing "sunshine, sunshine" during the intro?

It almost sounds like Edge singing the sunshine part.

 

[RABIDLAMB]

First rate production on all the tracks.

Crazy Tonight & Stand Up Comedy stand out for me.
White as Snow seemed a little pedestrian.

Being Born eh, I'd expected something very different.

Sounds like they've nailed this album.

 

[Marko]

based on the clip of stand up comedy:

you telling me that this song is supposed to be the major guitar song on the album, "the closest thing we've done to led-zeppelin", "a mix of come together and heartbreaker" and "if you're gonna do a guitar track you have to go all the way" and based on the clip all i hear is THAT 2 NOTE GUITAR RIFF FROM THE U2.COM CLIPS?!?!!?!!?!!

you've got to be shitting me!

should've known better than to buy into that bullshit. but hopefully there will be more to the song than THAT.

I had similar thoughts myself... I was expecting LedZep and got...I have no idea what....
it' terrible when you are expecting something specific....it just turns bad when expectations are not met

 

[Irishteen]

Unknown Caller reminds me of Peace on Earth (I think) a little...

 

[bonocomet]

It almost sounds like Edge singing the sunshine part.

Definitely Edge in there.

 

[Swan269]

stand up

 

[ChicagoTodd]

Ummm moment of surrender sounds like music from a 90's porno on showtime....

 

[Jeef690]

This album sounds EPIC and very unlike anything on the market right now.

 

[Reead]

Magnificent is a really, really appropriate title. I want that song NOWWWWW.

 

[mobvok]

After 30 seconds of the song NLOTH, I can absolutely, definitively say without any reservations and with complete and utter unyielding confidence in a judgment that will stand the test of time that the verse melody is awesome, and the chorus sounds awkward.

Magnificent actually sounds pretty retro to my ears. It sounds like one of their chimey songs from one of the first 3 albums.

 

[Swan269]

can't wait to hear all of fez...so wierd to hear sampling off of another song

 

[whackjester]

Definitely Edge in there.

That's good to know that my ears aren't failing me. I remember before HTDAAB came out and I swore to everyone that the "beneath the noise, below the din", etc. part was Edge and I got a lot of backlash.

 

[bonocomet]

I have to leave now or I will this was too awesome.

Thank you OP

 

[purpleoscar]

Ummm moment of surrender sounds like music from a 90's porno on showtime....

Haven't heard of Marvin Gaye yet have you?

 

[Swan269]

breathe... a clear beach clip!

 

[Yahweh]

I cant wait for this album....Bono is in top form on these songs melody wise....and the vocals are just bang on

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

Cedars sounds like Your Blue Room.

 

[cdirani]

Definitely Edge in there.

Yes, what I thought. Just gambling, but maybe the intro and outro are similar and could wrap this song up. Great idea if so. Remember the song features the sound of a bird on its begining according to the reviews.

 

[Swan269]

cedar has the voice of 'your blue room' very after dark and slick sounding

 

[Reead]

In fact, if they don't release Magnificent as a single, they're fools. I can't imagine that song not doing phenomenally well as a single.

 

[Rosebud]

Cedars sounds like Your Blue Room.

 

[whackjester]

Ummm moment of surrender sounds like music from a 90's porno on showtime....

I was thinking it sounded like a promo song for Nip/Tuck.

 

[purpleoscar]

Violins sound good with Breathe.

 

[jphelmet]

just clips, so really hard to get a feel but:

stand up comedy made me cringe.

i still think breathe will be the best song on the album.

everything else sounds very intriguing and exciting.
