Rest of U2 Survivor: Passengers - Round 1

[Axver]

Last time I checked, Passengers wasn't a U2 album.

Last time I checked, Your Blue Room and Miss Sarajevo are on Passengers and on the Best Of [U2] 1990-2000.

Last time I checked, this game's for fun. Passengers is here for fun.

True: it's not like its winner is going to come anywhere near winning the final round.

Yes, yes it does. And it's amazing, so enjoy it.

 

[mysterious_jen]

i used to like it when i was desperate to hear u2 and usually high...

i hope your blue room takes the win

Passangers has been in every other survivor.

Your Blue Room, Slug, Always Forever Now, Beach Sequence, One Minute Warning and Theme From Let's Go Native are all quite good. The rest is average at best.

A shot of Mirrorball Man singing Ultraviolet from the 8/16/92 Washington DC gig. Terrible gig, but that performance was sublime.

true and true.

it's totally on my list of "things that would be awesome to trip to if only Air didn't always get played first"

 

[MrPryck2U]

I'm rooting for Slug.

 

[Aardvark747]

Ito Okashi

 

[An Cat Gav]

Pretty sure I must be the only person who doesn't hate EAA, I worship this album so this is a tough one. Hmmm, I think I'll vote for one minute warning.

I thought it looked like the Mirrorball Man's jacket. But his head doesn't look right. It's creepy

No hate there from me either

 

[An Cat Gav]

Yeah, it would be useful on that album.

Passengers, however? Third best thing U2 have done behind UF and JT. Incredible atmospheres.

Great post.
I'd put it behind AB, JT and UF as the fourth best album U2 have done.

 

[An Cat Gav]

I wish I could hear Theme From The Swan though.

Does that mean you haven't heard the dog barking?
Theme from The Swan is so beautiful, great contrast between it and Theme From Let's go Native, you can definitely here that one!

 

[Axver]

I'm surprised Ito Okashi is coming second while Plot 180 has zero votes.

Ito Okashi just really bores me. Makes me sleep...which most of the album does actually, but in a good way! I think maybe it's her voice. I find it too spooky!
No such problems with Corpse tho, oddly enough!

I like her voice a lot actually, but I don't like the music on that one. Corpse I like better, it's in the middle for me.

I guess Plot 180 is everyone's 2nd-least-favorite. What a dubious distinction, it can't even fail right.

 

[bonocomet]

A Different Kind of Blue. Ug.

Elvis Ate America

As for Ito Okashi, I think Holi's voice perfectly suits the song. Aardvark's right about it being a bit spooky in a way, but I think of that as a good thing. Especially as it leads into the dark One Minute Warning.

Elvis Ate America



Slug to win please

 

[Aardvark747]

Slug to win for'sho

 

[Mauwer]

Easy....Elvis Ate America

Cheers ,

Agreed. Ultraviolet and WOWY were the only two good performances in that entire show.
