Gonna Run 2 U
New Yorker
I just hope Bonos lyrics aren't as ordinary as what I'm hearing here for the album
For me, Ordinary Love's biggest crime is that it's killed some of the buzz factor for the first single (which surely must be less than twelve weeks away now). It's a serviceable song, no more no less. Just a pity the fans will be scrutinizing it to the nth degree, instead of looking forward with eager anticipation to new album. Throwing OL out there now is a bit of a dick move by the band
If it were the other way around, many fans would be complaining that nothing new has been released in so-and-so years and how the band can't "throw us a bone," so to speak. Personally, I'd rather have something new in the meantime to talk about and listen to. Besides, if the first single from the new album can stick up on its own merits, then it will do just that.
And I love the piano, hopefully, IMO, it sticks around for a song or two on the new album.

I think I'll like it more than WITS for sure. You can't touch Electrical Storm though.
There's something interesting going on between 1:43-2:22, which I'll be curious to hear in good quality.

It sounds like I'll like the song, but making such a judgment without hearing a quality better than utter dog shit would be silly.
I agree. I can't believe they recorded the album on an iPhone with people clapping in the background!
The sound quality isn't that bad, you can't hear every nuance or detail, but it's quite easy to get (more than) a decent perspective on how it sounds.It sounds like I'll like the song, but making such a judgment without hearing a quality better than utter dog shit would be silly.
I don't want to hear it yet. I want to hear it with the production full-force, they way they intended for it to be heard when they recorded it. Not saying this in a holier-than-thou fashion, mind. I just want it to be as good as it possibly can first time I hear it. Suppose it's a bit like losing your virginity.

I love how some people are trying hard NOT to like the song and then hesitantly admitting that there are some decent or nice or not so bad or ok or quite acceptable things in the song that they might like after all. Why is it so hard to simply enjoy a song even if it doesn't match the expectations 100%?
With that logic, you should just listen to it now and get it over with, because the first time is never going to match the build-up you've given it in your mind.
PS: don't be expecting an orgasm, either.
chork, are you saying I shouldn't have lost my virginity on the beach with people clapping in the background?
