[LemonMelon]

I'll just keep voting Your Blue Room


just because is the only one I know

What you say?

 

[corianderstem]

I'll just keep voting Your Blue Room


just because is the only one I know

Or you could just skip this album and not vote at all.

Just sayin'.

[coolian2]

kill the swan

No fucking way

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I've listened to this album so many times, I still have no idea which song is which

The stand out songs are Slug, YBR and Miss Sarajevo

here's how i can describe the songs:

united colours: the opening track where it's all synths going WHEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOO
slug: bono saying random shit like "don't want to lose my shirt" and other things ending in -irt
your blue room: bono having sex with the mic
always forever now: the title is sung in the song so, seriously, come on. plus those are like the only words i think, so yeah.
a different kind of blue: heavily synthesised lyrics that are total nonsense. "those cars all new so small" uhhhh okay
beach sequence: you're not gonna believe this guys but...there's more synths on this song! recognisable as having one line in the song: "time shoots on by" i hope bono didn't get writer's block for it

miss sarajevo: otherwise known as the song everyone knows, or the song with the fat italian dude.
ito okashi: the song with the japanese jibberish
one minute warning: the song with the weeeeird synths and the lyrics that go a lonesome soooooooooul in an old black coooooooat - proof U2 are emo
corpse (this title is way too long): the song the edge sings. also known as the song where the only word you can understand is chains.
elvis ate america: the song with chuck d, aka the song no one likes.
plot 180: the song that goes boom boom boom chicka chicka *ding*
theme from the swan: the one with the violins
theme from let's go native: the one with the bass and drums and with bono going "ha ha" i guess he's laughing at the fact that you listened to the whole album?

 

[coolian2]

*rain noise*

 

[Axver]

Corpse? Are you people mad? This round is a hard choice as there are so many good songs and no duds, but still, Corpse is fantastic and certainly isn't the worst here. I reluctantly voted for The Swan.

 

[Aardvark747]

swan

 

[fandangamoq]

Swan. I'm betting we can mercy finish this in the next hour or so. Then A Different Kind Of Blue.

Corpse needs to stay.

 

[liamcool]

Thank christ they only snippeted the Swan once: horrific "song".

 

[Axver]
