i refuse to listen to any more of these 30 second clips. the last thing i wanna do is hear all the songs 30 seconds at a time every time some site puts new clips up.

waited too long to spoil them like that. ill wait till the album comes out. only another couple weeks! :hyper::hyper::hyper:
 
this Unknown Caller clip still has me confused....I'm trying to figure how that will tie in to what you hear in the beach clip
 
These clips sound a hell of a lot better then the Walmart clips.

Stand Up Comedy now sounding awesome goes to show how easy it is to skew songs with just 30 seconds to show! :doh::hyper:

Did anyone notice with Fez that the weird squirky transition from Walmart reappears at the start? That's definitely designed to be there.
 
Can someone make megaclips by merging the Walmart clips with these? There's evidently a bit of overlap on some of these clips.
 
i like all the clips besides uc and suc. Stand up comedy sounds kinda out of place..
maybe it sounds to happy next to all the moody stuff.
 
Guys, have listened to it a couple of times now ... uh, me thinks this will renew my faith and :love: in U2. Yum, yum. :hyper: :hyper: CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM ....!!!!

(actually, right now I prefer these clips to ATYCLB and HTDAAB.... combined :reject::reject:)
 
Remember the days when every second of every U2 song had something interesting happening in it? I've now heard 30+ seconds of every song, and the only one that sounds genuinely catchy to me is "Magnificent". But, even that sounds so plain. There is a frightening sterility to what I'm hearing from this album that I could never imagine coming from Achtung Baby or The Joshua Tree. Every second of those albums pops.

I think you could take any 20-second swatch of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" or "The Fly" and find interesting little organic harmonic events - sounds that collide with one another to create even more sounds that maybe aren't even technically there. I don't think you could find a 20- or 30-second clip from either of those albums where you're struggling to find something truly intriguing, some kind of depth. They sounded RICH and ALIVE. This sounds so synthetic and bland. Scary.

You're a bit hard on them.... there is a lot going on, almost every song has a different style, it has nothing to do with ATYCB for instance....I'm not saying this album will be better (impossible to tell after 30 sec) but at least there is something in there that I like and that's been missing since Pop.

Oh, man, you just brought back great memories of 1:37 on "Acrobat." Good times... :wink:
 
Wow, these just keep getting better... Was already thrilled with the first clips, and now all the songs seem to have improved, if that's even possible.

It sounds like every song is unique and fabulous in its own way. And my God: BONO :drool: I looooove the way he sings in all those clips. He sounds like a different singer in every song. Amazing.

Only ones I'm not 100% thrilled are SUC (but this new clip makes it way more interesting) and Fez, simply because I need to hear the whole thing before judging really.
