So we are all in different states of mind as we hit a new U2 album. I can recall each stage of my life and where I was at when I heard a certain U2 album for the first time.
Like last album, I just graduated from college and was just starting out working and hanging out in Manhattan, and listening to 'New York' and connecting with it on a thousand levels.
Our psychology and perception of the world around us completely has an effect on how we relate to things that are culturally significant (such as music).
Where are *you* at these days? And how does it affect what you would like this album to be?
Personally, I could use an authentic, voracious, take-no-prisoners rock album to get me out of bed in the morning. Something I can run with on the treadmill, blast in my car, or motivate me to reach a little deeper. I don't know about you, but working too hard has really numbed me the last few months and I could use a good ass-kicking rock album.

P.S. This whole album feels like a bonus - I can't explain why - maybe it's because the last album and tour was at such a high level.
