Disco - 5/10. Silly U2, and I don't like silly U2.
this will be forever up there among the pantheon of great U2 songs

Vertigo: 10/10Chizip said:Yet you gave a Vertigo a 9/10? A song that starts off with an incorrect Spanish countup, and is littered with silly Hola and Donde Esta's?
And we can't forget the oh so serious line "Just give me what I want and nobody gets hurt"

its one of their silliest songs and you say this about it
What?Snowlock said:
"Give me what I want and no one gets hurt?" Is funny, not silly. Or maybe not even funny, maybe its a commentary on spoiled rock stars from a spoiled rock star.
Chizip said:well in my opinion a song starting with a spanish 1, 2, 3, 14 and random holas and donde estas throughout is sillier than some boomchas
sure maybe the discotheque video is sillier, but i dont let videos effect what i think of a song

What is this crap? :ugh: Terrible song. A very annoying drum machine is the only instrument until a minute and a half in, when Adam plays a bass line. The lyrics are average as well. Now it’s not all bad, I don’t mind the ‘ba ba ba ba’s’ and Edge’s guitar is swell, the outro’s okay, but what throws my off is the line Some places are like your auntie, but there’s no place like Miami, my mammy.
Mammy?
Is that even a word?

The Playboy Mansion
Not exactly sure what they were trying to do with this song. Was it meant to be fun like Miami or meaningful? It sounds like a meaningful sorta song, but the lyrics read fun. The intro is really cool, and I like how the band sounds when Bono sings the lines before and the line ‘the gates of that mansion’. Apart from that, it’s average, nice, but not much else. Liking the ‘don’t know if I can…’ verse. It’s almost the like the Wild Honey of Pop.

Please
I was expecting a really great song here, given how loved it is around here, but I was a bit let down. Personally I think this song is overrated. It’s incredibly depressing. But getting past all that, it is a pretty good song. In my opinion Bono’s strongest vocals on this album are present here, and the bass really moves the song along. Is this like the ‘One’ of this album? The song everyone appreciates but takes ages to appreciate yourself? The vocals are top-notch though. The last minute or so is good.

Wake up Dead Man
I’ve had this song as long as I’ve had SATS, and I have always liked this song a lot, despite its depressive tone and ‘no-hope’ lyrics and vocal delivery. But pushing that aside, this a fantastic song and a terrific closer. Bono’s vocals really suit the song, and Edge’s electric, metallic guitar really gives the song a kick. The almost whispering bridge is perfect, as the music underneath Bono slowly builds up. Great song.

Chizip said:at least the boomcha's are confined to the end of the song
vertigo has random hola's and donde esta's all over it, and it makes no sense
what does vertigo have to do with spanish??
to dismiss discotheque because it is "silly" but then to say vertigo is in the pantheon of all time great u2 songs makes me go
\leaves thread forever
