I'm gonna download it immediately!
I dunno. I didn't do it with ATYCLB and I bought that album the day it came out - I don't think it spoiled anything because those were just 30 sec bits.
I'll wait for the single and decide if I will buy the album, in theory.

'decide' if you'll buy the album U2 girl????? Is there an album you don't own???????
would you really NOT buy the album? U2 is one of the few bands that have soo much great stuff they can't release it all as singles... ;-)

I'll definately listen to the clips if they're posted. I can never wait to eat dinner I always munch on snacks between meals.

I'm going to try to hold out because I learned my lesson with ATYCLB. I was so excited to hear new U2 that I downloaded the entire album off of Napster using a 28.8k modem (it took me about 24 hours).
Wait, that's not the bad part. I had just moved to a new place right before I downloaded and I didn't realize it but all of my dial-up numbers had become long distance (even though I was still in the same area code). When I got my phone bill I had about $75 in long distance charges.
Of course, I still had to buy an original copy of the album the day it came out -- I paid $13 at Target. So in total, I paid $88 for ATYCLB.
For this new album I'm going to try and keep the total around $15.

ATYCLB, MDH soundtrack, Passengers and Wide awake in America are the albums I own. (and BD single)
Only because my older brother is also a fan, and obviously bought the other albums as I was too young and not that interested in the POP era.
Well, if I reallly disliked the single I wouldn't be so sure...besides my brother had a bit of a problem with me showing up with ATYCLB.

Not even I own all the albums. I dont own Boy or October and probably never will.
October maybe, but the really early stuff is meh.
I am moving into my local HMV next week and propping my eyelids open with toothpicks to be sure I wont miss the album the second it comes in.

If you're referring to me, I explained why I don't have all the albums. ( I made tapes of the rest of the albums I don't have - I don't see any point in having 2 copies of several U2 albums in our house )
I also don't see why the amount of U2 albums anyone has is any indication how much of a fan they are.

U2girl I think it was that 2 of us in a row posted we dont have all the albums. You know you dont have to explain it or justify it to anyone, but that said I dont think (or hope) that t8thgr8 was being entirely serious anyway. I'd hope not because there was so much wrong with what he/she said
It's all good.

i was being overdramatic, i like to make myself laugh. seriously though, i dont think one can truly know a band unless they listen to all albums said band puts out, each tells a story in the development of what we know today

I own every album, though ATYCLB, Boy and October gather large amounts of dust between listens...

It all depends. If it hits the net like a month before it hits the stores than I'll have to listen to it. I will of course buy the album the day it gets here. But if it hits the net like 5 days before I have the CD than I'll try my best to wait till I have the album. But still even on the first possibility I will try not to listen to the whole thing, just a few.... it's hard to say.

Boy is classic. They were what, 18 or 19 making that record? It was sonically and lyrically a mature record for 4 boys to make.
